IKO Crossed Roller Way Guides and Crossed Roller Way Units


IKO Crossed Roller Way Guides is a linear motion rolling guide incorporating a roller cage between two ways whose two V-shaped surfaces are used as track groove. Arrangement of cylindrical rollers by orthogonalizing them alternately allows receiving of loads in any direction and executes extremely high-accuracy and smooth linear motion.

Standard IKO Crossed Roller Way Guides

IKO Crossed Roller Way Guides (CRW, CRWM) feature a unique design that incorporates a roller cage between two linear ways with V-shaped surfaces that act as track grooves. Because the cylindrical rollers are alternately crossed, this specialized structure can handle loads in any direction while facilitating highly accurate and smooth linear motion.

  • The standard model (CRW) features four ways and two roller cages.
  • The module version (CRWM) combines two inner ways into a single component.
  • Stainless steel versions of the CRW type are available in multiple sizes for superior corrosion resistance.

IKO Anti-Creep Cage Crossed Roller Way Guides (CRWG)

IKO Anti-Creep Cage Crossed Roller Way Guides (CRWG) prevent cage creep with a rack and pinion mechanism, while enabling smooth linear motion with impressive accuracy.

  • For applications that require high load capacity, the CRWG-H features a heavy duty raceway to handle extreme loads.
  • Both models are suitable for use on a vertical axis.
  • Stainless steel is available for superior corrosion resistance.

IKO Crossed Roller Way Units (CRWU) and Anti-Creep Crossed Roller Way Units (CRWUG)

IKO Crossed Roller Way Units (CRWU) and Anti-Creep Crossed Roller Way Units (CRWUG) provide a complete solution for limited stroke lengths and feature a highly rigid table and bed to minimize elastic deformation.

  • Three sectional shapes and multiple sizes are available.
  • The anti-creep version includes:
    • A rack and pinion mechanism that eliminates cage creep
    • Highly accurate and stable linear motion
    • Suitable for use on a vertical axis.
