Now with 22 different styles available in MISUMI’s 2011 lineup, users can select from among a broad range of products, depending on specific application requirements such as: moving axes, positioning accuracy, load capacity, feed mechanism (rapid or fine), linear guidance structure (Dovetail, Cross Roller, or Linear Balls), and type of clamping mechanism.

Their simple, compact design and rugged construction provides long-term reliability, as well as ease of alignment and positioning repeatability.
