NSK Precision America's RA Series Roller Guides Ideal for Machine Tool Industry


Franklin, Indiana, July 23, 2008 - NSK has combined its extensive experience in roller bearings and linear guide technologies to develop the RA series of roller guides. Optimally designed to meet the rigorous demands of the machine tool industry, the RA series employs advanced technology to provide the industry's highest load capacity, superior motion accuracy and unprecedented operating life.

The RA series supports rigorous machine performance in a variety of factory automation applications. The guide's unique design combined with a substantial reduction in roller passage vibration ensures exceptional motion accuracy.
