The Franke Principle for Linear Systems
Uniquely dynamic.
Uniquely individual.
Franke linear systems transfer the ingenious principle of the wire-race bearing to linear movements. Inserted raceways ensure the load capacity on all sides. The rest of the construction can therefore be made of lightweight aluminum. Large guided rollers ensure smooth running - maintenance-free over the entire service life. Thanks to their modular design, Franke linear systems can be individually adapted to requirements.
Tailored to your requirements
Franke linear guides can be customised to suit your application. The geometry, material, number or arrangement of the rollers can be freely selected depending on the installation situation and load.

Rely on maintenance-free linear systems with consistent performance in the future.
Individual
For example, you get linear systems with these properties:
amagnetic
food-compatible
highly dynamic
lubricant free
suitable for cleanrooms
extreme temperature resistant (both hot and cold)
anodized in colour
electrically isolated
Free choice in profile design
Franke wire raceways can be applied to almost any aluminium profile. This means that you are free to choose which profile you would ideally like to use for your application.
Individual cassette designs
Cassettes and roller shoes can be designed as you need them for your application. For example, holders for drive spindles can be integrated.
Length from 64 mm to ∞
Franke manufactures guide rails from 64 mm up to a length of 4,000 mm. Lifting distances over 4,000 mm are realized by coupling several rail profiles.
Best practice: Customised linear guides in use
Special length slider with a larger number of rollers for high loads.
Slider with special plate for mounting a drive spindle.
Direct drive consisting of a wide rail with integrated magnetic strip and motorised carriage.
Extra narrow roller shoes anodised black on customer request.
Special trolley as camera slider with connection thread for tripod heads.
Camera slider with locking mechanism and adjustable connection threads.
U-shaped special profile made of aluminium with protected internal tracks. The carriage is specially adapted to the profile and has external rollers in a crosswise arrangement.
The entire unit is optimally protected against environmental influences and is driven by a toothed belt.
Assembly consisting of a movable special profile with integrated tracks and two fixed special carriages.
All standard aluminium profiles can be used as guide rails for series production requirements.
Equipped with hardened running wires and combined with customised carriages or roller shoe pairs, individual linear guideways are created that are precisely tailored to your requirements.
