Who is Schneeberger and what does it make?

Schneeberger is a Swiss manufacturer of precision linear guideways, headquartered in Roggwil. The programme includes crossed roller guideways (types R and RN), MONORAIL and MINIRAIL profile guideways, integrated displacement measuring systems (AMS), gear racks, frictionless positioning tables (NK, NKL), ball screws, linear and telescopic actuators, main milling and boring spindles, mineral cast structures and precision positioning systems, usable in normal atmosphere or in vacuum.

The limited-stroke guideways use roller or ball cages; type RN is compatible with type R and has an integrated cage control. The long-stroke guideways are of the MONORAIL type, with four rows of rollers or balls, including corrosion-resistant steel versions and a version with integrated gear rack and pinion (MONORAIL BZ), while MINIRAIL is the miniature guideway with two rows of balls. AMS systems integrate a magnetoresistive or optical sensor, analogue or digital, into the guideway; AMSABS 3L is an absolute system for long axes, whose measuring carriage passes over the rail joints without losing the signal.

Gear racks are made from module 2 to 20, milled or ground, up to accuracy class Q4, in pieces of up to 3000 mm, and are suited to long strokes of over 2 m. Ground ball screws are made nitrided (Ø25–160 mm), with induction hardening (Ø32–63 mm) and miniature (Ø3–25 mm). The range is used in machine tools, semiconductor production equipment, automation lines, measuring and testing machines, laser processing installations and packaging machines.

What do we supply from the Schneeberger range?

Product	Description
Crossed roller guideways and NK / NKL tables	Linear guideways with cage, limited stroke, types R and RN, and frictionless positioning tables NK and NKL, made of lower and upper sections of the same length and R-type guideways. They serve fine positioning and precision instruments.
MONORAIL and MINIRAIL guideways	Profile guideways with four rows of rollers or balls for long strokes, in ordinary or corrosion-resistant steel, with a BZ version with integrated gear rack and pinion. MINIRAIL is the miniature version, with two rows of balls, with or without an integrated cage.
AMS measuring systems and gear racks	Guideways with integrated measuring system (AMS, AMSABS 3L for long axes, AMSABS 3 B with rollers) and gear racks with straight or helical teeth, from module 2 to 20, in pieces of up to 3000 mm, with accuracy class Q4.
SBS ball screws, actuators and spindles	SBS ground ball screws for high or low speeds and short oscillating strokes, linear and telescopic actuators with two to four stages, as well as main milling and boring spindles and mineral cast structures.

Why Schneeberger?

R and RN crossed roller guideways — limited-stroke cages for play-free positioning, with cage control on RN
Four-row MONORAIL and the BZ version with integrated gear rack — guiding and drive in the same assembly for long axes
AMS systems integrated in the guideway — absolute or incremental measurement, magnetoresistive or optical, without a separate transducer
Gear racks from module 2 to 20, class Q4 — drive suited to strokes over 2 m, resistant in dusty environments
Ground ball screws in three diameter ranges — machine tools, measuring and testing

How do we supply Schneeberger in Romania?

We can quote Schneeberger linear guideways, AMS systems, gear racks and ball screws, especially replacement parts for axes already installed. We bring them in to order, through EU supply channels; usually 1–4 weeks, and for special versions, depending on the brand and the specifications, the lead time can be longer. For a correct quotation please send the full code from the rail or carriage, the size, the rail length, the accuracy and preload class, the type of measuring system (if any) and, for gear racks, the module, the toothing and the Q class.

A carriage or a rail cannot be confirmed as a replacement by width alone; the series, preload and length are checked against the full code of the existing guideway.

Frequently asked questions about Schneeberger

What does Schneeberger make?

Schneeberger manufactures in Switzerland precision linear guideways (crossed roller, MONORAIL, MINIRAIL), integrated measuring systems, gear racks, positioning tables, ball screws, actuators, main spindles and mineral cast structures for machine tools and precision equipment.

How do I choose between a crossed roller guideway and a MONORAIL?

Crossed roller guideways have a cage and limited strokes, for fine positioning; MONORAIL is a profile guideway for long strokes, with four rows of balls or rollers. The choice starts from the stroke, load, accuracy and space. Please send these data and the mounting orientation.

Can you bring Schneeberger products to Romania, and how fast?

Yes, through EU supply channels, usually to order and within 1–4 weeks for ordinary parts. For special versions, depending on the brand and the specifications, the lead time can be longer; the exact date is confirmed in the quotation, once we have the full code.

Can I replace an existing Schneeberger guideway with a current model?

It can be checked on the basis of the full code from the rail and the carriage: series, size, length, accuracy class and preload. We do not claim interchangeability by width. Please send a photo of the nameplate or marking and the rail length.

What data are needed for a gear rack quotation?

The module and the type of toothing (straight or helical), the total length, the accuracy class (up to Q4), the hardening method, the length per piece and the number of elements joined end to end. Add the pinion and the working conditions, for example dust or axial force.

How do I request a Schneeberger quotation?

Send the Schneeberger code from the nameplate and the quantity; we reply in English with availability and the lead time written in the quotation.
