To bolster this defence against contamination , IKO also proposed the use of its MX range fitted with its patented RC sealing system . The MX range is IKO ’ s roller type linear rolling guide , offering the brand ’ s highest level of rolling performance in terms of load capacity , rigidity , friction and accuracy .
The RC seal consists of scrapers ( to deal with larger deposits ), c-wiper ( to add lubrication to the rail surfaces ), end seals , inner seals , and even under seals ( to protect the rolling elements even further ).
IKO UK & Ireland prides itself in being not just a supplier , but also a true business partner . It is always looking to give customers the best possible service and the best technical support , no matter what the environment .
This simple , yet effective , switch , combined with the MX carriages fitted with RC seals , drastically improved the life of the carriages , from around 3-4 months previously to more than 12 months , with no intervention or need for additional maintenance .
In this case , as in so many others , IKO worked with clients to look at the issues at hand , the current bearing arrangements , and specific application requirements before then going through a review of what was possible technically and what the best solution would be .
