All machine builders now have access to a useful NSK online tool that helps design customized linear guides quickly and easily. Click! Speedy NSK Linear Guide Design allows you to customize components based on type, size, length, seal, lubrication and lubrication unit specifications. For each linear duct design created on the basis of these requirements and specifications, it is possible to obtain a duct specification, catalog sheet, PDF drawing or CAD data via download link or e-mail.

In today's engineering industry, it is often a key requirement to reduce the time to market. If tailor-made linear guidance is required, it can often slow down and make project work considerably more expensive. With this in mind, NSK created the Click! Speedy tool to design customized linear guides based on any line of NSK lines (conventional and precision NH / NS / LW / RA / PU / PE guides).

In addition to the design characteristics, users can also enter price, lead time and delivery terms from Click! Speedy's sales department from NSK's sales department or distributor from its distribution network.

Three default functions are available to start the process. By selecting the "equivalent type" option, the user can refer to the article number from a competing supplier. The closest equivalent to NSK is displayed and a table comparing the specifications. Another option is for the user to select the “type selection” function, where the existing NSK lines can be used to create their own customized lines. The last option is the “NSK type designation” where you can import specifications and CAD data based on your existing article number. Although the tool has been designed to be easy to use, a user in need of assistance can download a complete “operating manual” in PDF format by clicking the appropriate button.

High-quality and precise linear guides NSK are used in various industries, including machine tools and other industrial machines or devices for the production of semiconductor devices, as well as medical devices. Linear ball and roller guides according to ISO standards are available, with different accuracy classes, different finishes or lubricants suitable for different applications. For example, the NSK K1 lubrication unit with extended lifetime is available to ensure maintenance-free operation.
