Miniature Mono Rail profile rails are profile rails with two-row recirculating balls. The running grooves of the profile rails are ground in gothic arch profile and have a contact angle of 45°, which guarantees the same load capacity in all main directions. The use of large steel balls enables high load and moment capacities of the profile rails despite limited space.

Profile rail designs
The Miniature Mono Rail profile rails are available in a standard and a wide design. The advantage of the standard design of the profile rails is its compact technology and high performance. In contrast, the wide design of the profile rails allows higher forces and torques to be absorbed in the compact design.

The wide design of the Miniature Mono Rail profile rails is suitable in particular for single-rail applications.

A Medevac unit for safely transporting patients in armoured container vehicles. The close-up shows a horizontal telescopic arm in the upper stretcher. An ASN partial extraction can be seen in the front left. This does not sag even under maximum permanent load. The up and down movement of the stretcher takes place when the telescopic arms are extended – guided by Compact Rails.

Speed, precision and noiseless operation of the sliders are convincing arguments for using Compact Rail in this automatic pharmacy shelf system. Also the telescopic roller track is ideal for this type of application.

Heavy duty telescopic rails of type DMS63 assist film roll changing. The reeling unit in a laminating system is pulled out for this purpose – in this case in a furniture industry application. This is ergonomic and safe. The telescopic rails must be able to resist the heavy weight of the rolls.

Compact Rail used in the housing of a UV Setter. The combination of K and U profiles compensates for parallelity deviations and guarantees safe operation.
