NSK RA35AL linear guide

NSK RA35AL belongs to linear guide, part of our Linear motion range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for RA35AL and any equivalents.

The NSK RA series is a linear motion guide built for straight travel with low friction and high rigidity. It suits axes, tables and gantries where the load rides on rails rather than on bushings or conventional bearings. The carriage uses ball or roller recirculation, which fits repetitive cycles and accurate positioning. MR Industrial Accessories supplies it for equipment assembly and maintenance work.

Reading the code starts with the digits after the letters, since that number sets the profile size. RA15AL, RA25AL, RA30AL, RA35AL, RA45AL and RA55AL step up through a growing capacity range. The AL suffix marks the carriage variant and its length; the guide type stays the same, while carriage length and the number of contact points change. Treat the number as your size reference and the suffix as the carriage setup.

In industrial plants these guides show up on machine tools, machining centers, laser and plasma cutting equipment, manipulators, inspection tables and packaging automation. They also serve test benches, measuring devices and internal transport systems that call for repeatability. Because it is a precision component, it is normally built into assemblies where the rail and carriage are already fixed by the equipment maker.

Selection comes down to load per carriage, tilting moment, required rigidity and travel speed. The mounting surface has to be flat and aligned; when rails sit out of line, wear and noise increase. Use the lubricant specified for the carriage type and the working environment, whether grease for slow cycles or oil in continuous duty. Sealing keeps out dust, chips and cutting fluids, so check it against the contamination level at the workstation.

Guides are interchanged between brands by family and mounting dimensions, not by automatic code equivalence. If you have a guide from another brand or an unidentified carriage, send the code, the rail size and a photo of the assembly. That information lets the right replacement or compatible alternative be identified. Height, width and hole spacing differ between series, so confirming dimensions matters.

For an NSK RA series linear guide, message us on WhatsApp with the code or the size you need. MR Industrial Accessories quotes the exact model and points out a compatible alternative when you bring a part from another brand. We can also advise on mounting, lubrication and sealing so the assembly performs as intended.
