LM guide load calculation for vertical conveying (2 rails, 2 blocks)

November 20, 2019

Today, we are going to discuss the "LM guide load calculation for vertical conveying (2 rails, 2 blocks)Here is a note about "The Before,Horizontal Use Statementshared, but today we will be sharing the LM Guide Vertical Use Load Calculation Form.

Vertical use of LM Guide

When the LM Guide is used vertically, the same procedure is used for load calculation as for horizontal use.

 

Load load calculation method for LM Guide for vertical (perpendicular) use

The calculation procedure for vertical use of the LM Guide is as follows

 

  1. Gather necessary information (yellow area in Excel)
  2. in each LM block,Calculate radial and horizontal loads during acceleration
    →The equivalent load is obtained from the two loads.
  3. in each LM block,Calculate radial and horizontal loads at constant velocity (stationary)
    →The equivalent load is obtained from the two loads.
  4. in each LM block,Calculate radial and horizontal loads during deceleration
    →The equivalent load is obtained from the two loads.
  5. Using equivalent loads for acceleration, constant velocity, and deceleration,Find the average load applied to each LM block

 

The above is the average load of the LM guide. The average load obtained here is not limited to THK LM guides, but can also be used to calculate guide loads for other manufacturers as long as the conditions of use are the same. Once this calculation has been made, it is possible to calculate the following for each model you plan to use.Guide life calculationis possible.
