UGT Tall Profile Uni-Guide Linear Slide

A new solution for oil-free, smooth and quiet linear motion, the Tall Profile Uni-Guide (UGT) Linear Slide maintains the proven advantages of the standard two-piece Uni-Guide in a simple, compact assembly. The 40 mm profile provides increased rigidity which is essential for longer unsupported lengths. Optimal for contaminated environments and clean rooms, the linear rail and carriage excels in demanding extremes including a wide range of temperatures, heavy particulates, wash-down environments, and extreme vibrations. The Tall Profile Uni-Guide Linear Slide Rail comes in a variety of off-the-shelf and custom lengths up to 2,750 mm.

Precision & Compensated Clearances for Uni-Guide

Carriage Configuration Options

Running Clearance

Precision Series: Featuring ceramic-coated rails and carriages for exceptional corrosion resistance. The FrelonGOLD self-lubricating liner provides outstanding performance, supporting the highest loads, longest wear life, and fastest speeds. Engineered for the most precise running clearance, ideal for high-precision applications.

Compensated Series: Similar to the Precision Series, but with extra clearance to handle misalignment.


Use the product configurator to select the optimal running clearance for your linear motion needs.


Design Considerations for UGT

Cantilevered Loads

The carriage will bind if the 2:1 ratio for cantilevered loads and drive forces is exceeded. This principle is independent of load or force. The 2:1 Bearing Ratio specifies the maximum allowable ratio of moment arm distance to bearing length that prevents binding or motion hindrance. Numerically, it is represented as "2:1," where "2x" is the moment arm distance and "1x" is the bearing length. For example, if 2x is 10 inches, then 1x must be 5 inches.
