Type: Linear guide block (DSG 16H WERB series)
Load: Supports radial loads, reverse radial loads, and moderate moment loads during linear motion
Cage: Rolling element retainer with recirculating ball path design
Performance: Smooth motion, high positioning accuracy, and low friction for precision movement
Construction: Guide block body with recirculating ball bearings designed to run on a matched linear rail
Use cases: CNC machine axes, automation equipment, gantry systems, robotics, precision motion platforms
Note: Works with a compatible linear guide rail; correct mounting, alignment, and lubrication are required for reliable operation.

Type: Linear guide block (DSG 25H WERB series)
Load: Supports radial, reverse radial, and lateral loads with moderate moment load capacity
Cage: Steel ball retainer with recirculating ball path
Performance: High precision motion, low friction travel, stable guidance under load
Construction: Hardened steel block body with recirculating ball system designed for use on matching linear guide rails
Use cases: CNC axes, automation stages, robotic motion systems, gantry structures, and precision machine assemblies
Note: Ensure proper rail compatibility, alignment, and lubrication for optimal performance and longer operational life.

Type: Collet clamping nut (ER25 system)
Load: Clamping force applied to hold cutting tools securely in the collet
Cage: Not applicable, solid clamping nut design
Performance: Provides stable tool holding, good concentricity, and reduced vibration during machining
Construction: Precision machined nut body with internal thread and clamping profile for ER25 collets
Use cases: CNC milling, drilling, engraving, machining centers, tool holding systems
Note: Ensure compatibility with ER25 collets and tool holder threads; proper torque and clean surfaces improve accuracy and lifespan.

Type: Collet clamping nut (ER20 series)
Load: Clamping force applied radially around the collet to secure cutting tools
Cage: Not applicable; uses threaded clamping mechanism with collet interface
Performance: Provides firm tool holding, consistent clamping pressure, and stable machining performance
Construction: Threaded nut body designed to engage with ER20 collet and compatible tool holder
Use cases: CNC milling, engraving, drilling operations, router spindles, machining centers
Note: Must be used with ER20 collets and compatible holders; correct tightening torque and clean surfaces help maintain accuracy and reduce runout.

Type: Precision ball screw assembly (SFU 2005 series, triple nut configuration)
Load: Designed to support axial loads during linear motion; limited tolerance to radial or side loads
Cage: Internal ball recirculation system with steel balls and retainer channels
Performance: High efficiency motion transfer, smooth travel, good repeatability for positioning systems
Construction: Hardened steel threaded screw shaft with recirculating ball nut assembly
Use cases: CNC axes, automation stages, robotic motion systems, linear actuators, precision positioning equipment
Note: Requires correct alignment, end support bearings, and regular lubrication for long service life and accurate operation.
