This makes it ideal for locationswhere MC moment is applied with one rail.[Miniature Type]Because the mounting method is compatiblewith the Miniature <strong>LM</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> Model RSR-N, themodels are dimensionally interchangeable.[4-way Equal Load]Each row of balls is configured at a contactangle of 45° so that the rated loads applied tothe <strong>LM</strong> block are uniform in the all directions(radial, reverse radial and lateral directions),enabling the <strong>LM</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> to be used in all orientationsand in extensive applications.[Ball cage technology application 1]Because the cage is formed out of plastic resin,there is no metal contact between the cage andthe balls, providing excellent noise characteristics,low dust emissions and long product life.[Ball cage technology application 2]Forming the cage in a spherical shape out ofplastic resin allows lubricant to be held in greasepockets, enabling long periods of maintenancefreeoperation.tanθtanθResistance[N]Resistance[N]EPF9MExisting equivalent products0.00200.00180.00160.00140.00120.0010.00080.00060.00040.000200 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1 1.2 1.4 1.6 1.8MC Moment [N-m]EPF12MExisting equivalent products0.00180.00160.00140.00120.0010.00080.00060.00040.000200 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1 1.2 1.4 1.6 1.8MC Moment [N-m]Fig.1 Comparison of MC moment test data3.0EPF9M2.5Existing equivalent products2.01.51.00.50.00 5 10 15 20 25 30Stroke [mm]3.0EPF15M2.5Existing equivalent products2.01.51.00.50.00 5 10 15 20 25 30Stroke [mm]<strong>LM</strong> <strong>Guide</strong><strong>Industrial</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong>Fig.2 Comparison of rolling resistance test dataA1-147
