Aluminum profile rail, also known as aluminum alloy slide rail linear guide, is a device that can fix, bear and guide mobile equipment and reduce its friction. The aluminum profile guide rail is composed of guide parts and moving parts, and has a wide range of applications. The grooves or protrusions on the surface are used to fix and guide mobile devices, such as doors, windows, elevators, and drawers.

Why can aluminum profiles be used as guide rails? First of all, as a guide rail, the surface must be smooth to ensure the smooth flow of machinery and equipment. The aluminum profile is extruded and then anodized. The surface is very smooth, which is the best choice for the guide rail. Moreover, the aluminum alloy profile has high hardness, and the processing precision of good aluminum profile manufacturers is particularly high, which fully meets the requirements of high precision. In addition, aluminum alloy can be extruded into many profiles with complex cross-sections, which can be designed to fit the actual cross-section more according to the contact surface of the device.

In many applications of factory automation, a long linear stroke is required, which needs to be achieved by the splicing of linear guides. For super-long aluminum profiles, there are usually two splicing methods as follows: one: fix the connecting plate by T-shaped guide bars in the T-shaped groove, usually used in general-sized aluminum profiles; two: punch holes in the T-shaped groove, High-strength bolts are used to fix the connecting plate in the aluminum profile cavity, which is usually used in large aluminum profiles because of the higher connection rigidity.

In life, we can often see traces of aluminum profile rails, such as doors and windows, elevators, drawers, etc. Why are aluminum profile rails widely used?

1. Simplified production process. The simplification of the production process is mainly reflected in the ease of assembly, avoiding the multi-process processing of the iridium structure, and at the same time reducing the labor intensity of a large number of manually operated sheet metal, which not only improves production efficiency but also facilitates the use of automated production.

2. Reduce the weight of the equipment. The aluminum profile is light in weight, and the aluminum guide rail can greatly reduce the overall weight of the mechanical equipment.

3. Simplify the product design process. Due to the simple construction of aluminum profiles, there is no need for welding, which avoids a series of shortcomings such as complex structure, many parts and large design workload.

4. Environmental protection and cleanliness. The surface of the aluminum profile rail has been oxidized, which has a beautiful appearance, strong anti-fouling ability, and is easy to clean.
