PMI (Precision Motion Industries, Inc.) is renowned for manufacturing high-quality linear guideways, which are critical components in precision machinery. These guideways facilitate smooth and accurate linear motion across various industrial applications, such as machine tools, electric discharge machines, cutting wire machines, plastic injection machines, semiconductor equipment, and precision orientation equipment. ​ pmi-amt.com +3 pmi-amt.com +3 pmi-amt.com +3 Key Features of PMI Linear Guideways: High Positioning Accuracy and Repeatability: The rolling motion design of PMI linear guideways results in a low friction coefficient, minimizing the difference between dynamic and static friction. This characteristic effectively eliminates stick-slip issues during submicron-level movements, ensuring precise positioning and consistent repeatability. ​ Low Frictional Resistance: PMI linear guideways exhibit frictional resistance approximately 1/20th to 1/40th of that found in traditional slide guides. This reduction enhances motion efficiency and maintains high precision over extended periods. ​ Karaköy Rulman || 0850 308 75 07 +1 Directindustry +1 High Rigidity with Four-Way Load Design: Engineered to withstand loads in all four directions—radial, reverse radial, and both lateral directions—the optimal geometric design of PMI linear guideways ensures high rigidity. This versatility allows for flexible installation orientations without compromising performance. ​ Karaköy Rulman || 0850 308 75 07 Suitable for High-Speed Operation: Due to their low frictional resistance, PMI linear guideways require significantly less driving force compared to other systems, resulting in reduced power consumption. Additionally, they exhibit minimal temperature rise even under high-speed operation, enhancing efficiency and longevity. ​ pmi-amt.com +1 Karaköy Rulman || 0850 308 75 07 +1 Easy Installation with Interchangeability: Unlike conventional slide guides that require high-skill scraping processes, PMI linear guideways can achieve high precision even when the mounting surface is machined by milling or grinding. Their interchangeability simplifies installation and future maintenance. ​ pmi-amt.com +1 Karaköy Rulman || 0850 308 75 07 +1 Popular Series and Models: MSA Series (Heavy Load Type): Designed for applications requiring high rigidity and load capacity, the MSA series includes models such as:​ MSA15SSSFCN: Features a square flange with a compact design, suitable for installations with limited space.
