SCHNEEBERGER MINIRAIL Minyatour Linear Ray and Car

Minirale: different car heights on standard and wide rails in small mechanisms.

A view of the Mineral Family

The SCHNEEBERGER MINIRAIL family consists of miniature profile rails and cars for mechanisms that require linear guidance in small volumes. Source catalogue gives standard and broad rail sizes along with different car lengths. This page lists MNNS, MNN, MNNL and MNNXL code groups only with the combinations shown in the table. The name of the rail begins with MN and the definition of the car in the MNN group is not used to replace each other. sharing both labels while asking for information for the existing piece makes it easier to understand the guide order that the piece belongs to.

The catalogue is: Source MINIRAIL printed 7, 9, 12, 15 standard and 14, 18, 24, 42 large sizes; MNNS/MNN/MNNL/MNNXL bodies. New size 5 and measurement systems are not included. Source documents may include old printes; current variants are confirmed prior to order.

Difference between standard and broad rails

In the source print, the standard sizes of 7, 9, 12 and 15 are treated as separate settings of 14, 18, 24 and 42. Do not make the result of direct adjustment by matching the name of a size with the nominal number of another brand. The ray width, the top surface of the car, the total height and the cottage settings should be checked by technical drawing. Choosing a large car on a small table with a single rail also does not replace the application’s load and moment assessment. It is clearly indicated where the moving piece stands according to the rail center.

Short, standard and long car sizes

MNNS, MNN, MNNL and MNNXL definitions distinguish the different car sizes in the catalogue. There are not all car lengths in each rail size. There are only models in the source measurement table with separate lines; no combinations have been produced. When the long body is selected, check the net stretch of the moving table and the required gap in the ends again. If more than one car is used on the same rail, add the distance between the car centers to the drawing. In a small mechanism, these settings differences can significantly affect the total available area.

Access to small connections

The position of the end of the wire and the available long tooth on a thin connector plate should be carefully checked. Examine the thickness of the plate together with the hole depths in the source drawing. Think of the area where the compression key or maintenance tool will enter after the upper apparatus is placed. The cleansing of the assembly surface, the condition of the reference edge and the direction of placement of the piece are also important in this scale. Being small does not mean that the piece may be unimensibly tired or the assembly errors are unimportant.

Moving mass and external effects

In a small measurement table or piece positioning order, don't look only to the weight of the work piece. The storage, connector, sensor and other parts that are moved along with the movement should be included in the total mass. The power applied by the cable or tube along the stroke may also affect the assessment. specify the direction of movement, the number of rails and the distance of the load to the rail level. The assembly should be clearly written in the request that the assembly is horizontal, vertical or reverse. This information provides more connection than the nominal model name to determine which body and location will be studied.

Cleaning, lubrication and source drawings

The source of pollution of a small rail varies according to the application. If the process is increased, thin powder or liquid contact, protection and maintenance access should be planned from the beginning. The rain point should be accessible after the mechanism is closed. The shape and size table in the source catalogue is presented together in two pages below; check by preserving the units and dipnotes. The definitions in the old print do not cover all of the new product options. You can ask for full-code information especially for smaller sizes or special variants not included in this list.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is MN 9 and MNN 9 the same product?

MN is the definition of the rail in the source print, and MNN is the definition of the car. Please note that your request is rail, car or joint equipment.

Are there 5 Minirail models on this list?

No. The first coverage is the 7–42 standard and broad rail families in the source document. More new or specific options can also be evaluated.
