90 percent reduction in mounting time

All Schaeffler monorail guidance systems are now available with ADE steel cover strip

The biggest advantage of our monorail guidance systems with ADE steel cover strip is that they enable enormous assembly time savings of up to 90 percent to be achieved during commissioning and maintenance work. This is why Schaeffler’s linear recirculating ball or roller bearing and guideway assemblies now offer this innovative solution in all sizes.

If you use linear axes with standard mounting hole covers, you are certainly fully aware of how time-consuming installation work on monorail guidance systems can be. This is especially the case with multi-part systems, often many meters long, or with guide rails that are mounted overhead. Additionally, the carriages must often be dismantled first and then pushed back on again.

Innovative sealing technology available for all Schaeffler monorail guidance systems 
With the introduction of the new ADE steel cover strip, Schaeffler offers a technologically leading solution for sealing the mounting holes of monorail guidance systems that has left all previously common options trailing behind. Therefore, this standard has now been rolled out further. Whereas it was previously only available for RUE 35, 45 and 55 linear recirculating roller bearing and guideway assemblies, the ADE steel cover strip can now be fitted on all Schaeffler monorail guidance systems.


Schaeffler’s ADE steel cover strip is simply slotted into the guide rail’s integrated groove – without the need for any special tools and in just a tenth of the time.
