Metric Guide Units

STEINEL guide units are highly precise and, with loading capacities of up to 8,750 N/cm for roller guides, they are highly resilient. Number of strokes up to 800 strokes for bronze-coated sliding guides and sliding speeds of max. 40 m/min for ball guides guarantee maximum productivity.

All of STEINEL's ball and roller guides are pre-loaded and absolutely free of clearance. Using precision steel balls and profile rollers of the same sort guarantees top precision. Thanks to fixed sizes, ball and roller cages are freely interchangeable in one and the same guide.

For high force absorption, we rely on a high density of load-bearing balls or rollers. In the case of uniform force distribution, individual ball and roller rows are offset against each other.

Guide Units

Maximum quality guide units with an extended lifetime

Our high-precision, durable guide units are designed for universal use in the fields of toolmaking, machine engineering, measuring device design and apparatus engineering. In addition to our large range of standard guide units, our customer-specific guides make it possible to implement tailor-made solutions optimally, quickly and economically – with maximum quality and extended lifetime guaranteed.

Individual solutions

Steinel guide unitsFor tool designs and applications that move away from conventional punching technology or for non-standard diameters and lengths, we can develop and manufacture tailor-made ​​solutions in line with your specifications, e.g.:

  • Guide pillars with max. diameter of 200 mm and max. length of 1,400 mm
  • Custom shapes, any internal machining

We would be happy to advise you and work with you to develop your own custom guide.

  • For tool manufacturing, fixture construction and machine construction
  • Guide elements according to DIN, ISO, VDI and Steinel standards or according to your specifications
  • Guide columns
  • Guide and column bearing
  • Guide bushings made from hardened steel, bronze plated, for high stress situations
  • Guide bushings made from solid bronze with solid lubricant inserts
  • Ball guide bushings and ball cages for radial and axial movements
  • Roller cages for axial movements
  • Guide plates with solid lubricant inserts
  • Mini-guide elements
