Ordering Notes
Important Reminders
- Rails and carriages must be of the same size and accuracy class
- Paired carriages should be ordered together to ensure consistency
- Rail length must account for first/last hole positions (L5, L10)
- MR series single-piece rails can be up to 6000mm long
- Through-hardened rails (ND/NUD/CD) are suitable for high load or impact environments
- Special specifications (G0 accuracy, special lengths, etc.) - please confirm lead time in advance
