Introducing the HepcoMotion® LBG
Linear Ball Guides
Hepco’s LBG Linear Ball Guides offer a comprehensive range of sizes, precisions and pre-load options designed to meet
a broad range of applications where quality, accuracy, capacity, high reliability and interchangeability across international
standard are considered prime requirements.

The LBG range has been designed and constructed around the Four Row Angular Contact ball track concept, thereby offering
distinct user benefits such as low friction and reduced differential slip, higher loads, installation compliance and the ability to
absorb minor errors on the mounting surfaces without compromising smooth movement and system performance (Figure 1).

In keeping with Hepco tradition the LBG range offers several unique design features setting it apart from other ball based
linear guideways. The newly developed ball recirculating system has excellent performance characteristics resulting in –
reduced friction, low noise and smooth movement. As with all bearing based recirculating systems it is important to ensure that
the blocks are kept well lubricated during operation and regular lubrication intervals are observed.

The built-in Felt Wiper within the LBG block aids lubrication helping to maintain a positive oil film at the bearing contact
surfaces (Figure 2).

The Hepco LBG range (Rails & Blocks) can be specified with a corrosion resistant treatment for added surface protection.
Please contact Hepco’s technical department for details.

LBCG Series Characteristics

The difference between Hepco’s Innovative Ball Cage Guides & alternative systems is that the design ensures minimum ball
and cage contact thereby reducing friction and extending system life.

Standard Ball Rail Ball Cage System

Unlike standard ballrails, Hepco’s caged system ensures equi spacing of the balls, providing even load distribution.

Oil Membrane adheres easily

between the ball cage and steel balls.

As shown, the included angle between the balls in Figure 1 is larger than in Figure 2 with the ball cage. Therefore, the oil membrane
adheres more easily to the balls whilst in motion Figure 3.

Technical Data

Load/Life
Basic Static/Dynamic Load Rating Co & C
When a linear guide system is subjected to extreme load or impact, permanent deformation can occur between the raceway
and rolling elements. Should deformation become excessive the running quality, smoothness and efficiency of the Guideway
will be impaired.

The definition of basic load rating Co is stated as – a static load of constant magnitude acting in one direction under which
the sum of the deformation of the elements and race way equals 0.0001 times the diameter of the rolling elements. Basic
dynamic load rating C is the load of constant magnitude acting in one direction that results in nominal life of 50km for a
Guideway using balls.

Basic Static Moment Rating Ms, M, Mv

The basic moment ratings in the Ms, M and Mv direction are stated as static moment capacities in the load rating charts
(see pages 5-7).

M

Safety Factor – Static : fa

The static safety factor fa should be considered related to the basic load rating Co, the acting load and the operating
condition. Reference value of the static safety factor fa in given operating conditions is stated as follows:

Factor fa:

Operating Condition Applied Load Condition Minimum fa

Small Impact 1.0 – 1.4

Static
High Impact Load 2.0 – 3.0

Small Impact 1.0 – 2.0

Dynamic
High Impact Load 2.5 – 6.0

fa = (fb x Co) / P or fa = (fb x Mo) / M fa : Static Safety Factor

Co : Basic Load Rating – Static
P : Applied Load
M : Applied Moment
fb : Mounting Factor
Mo : Permissible Static Moment

 Technical Data

Mounting Factor : fb
In the Guideway mounting process, where the elements are in close contact it can be difficult to obtain a uniform distribution of
the applied load across all the bearing blocks due to mounting face variations. Where two or more Blocks are used in close
proximity or where there is a mounting surface variation – multiply the stated basic load ratings C and Co by the mounting factor.

Technical Data

Raceway Hardness (HRC) : fr Guideway Temperature Factor : ft

Linear Guides operate at their optimum load carrying
capacity with a raceway harness of HRC 58 to 64.
Where the raceway hardness is lower than HRC 58 the
hardness factor fr should be applied. Hepco LBG Guides
have a hardness value in excess of HRC 58, therefore a fr
factor of 1.0 can be used.
Where Linear Guides are working in temperatures in
excess of 100˚C, a temperature factor ft should be used.
Note: Where the Guideway is subjected to temperatures
greater than 80˚C or less than -5˚C please contact our
Technical Department as consideration will have to be
given to the seals, lubrication and end plates.

Nominal Life Formula : L

To calculate the life of a system using any of the LBG bearings, first obtain the Lf by entering the values for L1, L2, Ms, Mv and
M in respect of the application, together with the maximum load capacities for the bearing from the relevant page, into the
equation below.

L1 Ms L2 M Mv
Lf= + + + +

From the Lf figure the life of the system can be obtained from the calculation including factors fr, ft, fb and fv.
