Product Description
IKO C-Lube Linear Way MLV is a small linear motion rolling guide utilizing a simple, two-row raceway with a four point contact structure. Long-term, maintenance-free operation is achieved by using built-in C-Lube lubrication. MLV has the same basic performance as C-Lube Linear Way ML, but is more economical because of a review and redesign of the structure, including the ball recirculation section.
Long-Term Maintenance-Free OperationC-Lube self-lubricating technology ensures the Linear Way MLV operates for extended periods without manual lubrication, significantly reducing downtime and maintenance costs. The integrated end seal and lubrication unit work together to provide consistent oil delivery, protecting moving components and extending equipment lifespan.
High Precision and Silent PerformanceBuilt for applications demanding precise linear motion, the MLV delivers high movement accuracy while maintaining low noise levels. Its caged ball design and four-row groove structure guarantee smooth, reliable, and quiet motion, making it perfect for CNC machines and semiconductor equipment where accuracy and silence are paramount.
Customizable for Industrial ApplicationsWith options for standard and light preload, flexible rail lengths (100 mm to 3000 mm), and stainless steel versions for enhanced corrosion resistance, the MLV adapts easily to various automation and robotics needs. The bolt-on mounting simplifies installation, while compact height and varying bore sizes offer versatility for different machinery and production environments.
