4.2 Applied Load Direction andLoad Rating
The LM Guide can bear loads and moments in all
directions resulting from the installation direction and
location of the guide system, the location of the center
of gravity of a moving object thereon, the location at
which thrust occurs, the acceleration, the machiningresistance, and the like.

4.2.1 LM-Guide Load Ratings inVarious Directions
The LM Guide can be divided into two major types: the
four-way equal-load type, which has the same load
rating for all radial, reverse-radial, and lateral loads;
and the radial type, which has a high load rating in the
radial direction. With the radial type, load ratings inthe radial, reverse-radial, and lateral directions differ.
If a radial type is used under a load in one of these
directions, multiply the relevant basic load rating
provided in the corresponding dimension table by the
factor specified in the respective section.

4.2.2 Calculating the Load Usingthe Moment-EquivalentFactor
Where a sufficient installation space is not available,
you may be obliged to use just one LM block or two
LM blocks laid over one another for the LM Guide. In
such a setting, the load distribution cannot be uniformand, as a result, an excessive load is exerted in
localized areas (e.g., rail ends). Continued use under
such conditions may result in flaking in those areas,
consequently shortening the service life. In such a
case, calculate true load by multiplying the moment
value by any one of the moment -equivalent factors
specified in Tables 6 through 10.
An equivalent-load equation applicable when a moment
acts on an LM Guide is shown below.
P = KM
where P : equivalent load per LM Guide
K : equivalent moment factor
M : developed moment (Nmm)
KA, KB, and KC represent the equivalent moment factors
in directions MA, MB, and MC, respectively.
Calculation Examples One LM block is used
Model No.: HSR25A1
P = MCKC+MAKA+mg= 98 x 100 x 0.087 + 98 x 200 x 0.13 + 98 = 3500 N
Two LM blocks are used laid over one another.
Model No.: SR20V2
P1 = MC/2 x KC+MAxKA+mg/2
= 49x150/2x0.109+49x200x0.0378+49/2=795.5 N
P1L = MC/2xKC+MAxKA+mg/2
= 49x150/2x0.109+49x200x0.0378+49/2= 5.6 N

= 49x150/2x0.10949x200x0.0378+49/2=746.5 N
Notes
1. Since an LM Guide in a vertical position receives
only a moment load, there is no need to apply other
loads (mg).
2. In some models, load ratings differ depending on
the direction of the applied load. With such a
model, calculate an equivalent load in a direction inwh ich co nd it io ns ar e co mp arab ly ba d (i. e. a
direction in which a larger moment is applied).

4.3 Calculating the Applied Load
4.3.1 Setting Operating Conditions
To obtain the magnitude of an applied load and the
service life in hours, the operating conditions of the
LM system in question must first be set.
The operating conditions should include:1) Mass : m (kg)
2) Direction of the acting load
3) Location of the action point
(e.g., center of gravity) : r2,r3, h1 (mm)
4) Location of the thrust developed :
r4, h2 (mm)
5) LM system arrangement : r0,r1 (mm)
(No. of systems and axes)
6) Velocity diagram
Velocity : V (mm/s)
Time constant : tn (s)

4.3.2 Calculating the Applied Load
The load applied to the LM Guide varies with the
external force exerted thereon, such as the location of
the center of gravity of an object being moved, the
location of the thrust developed, inertia due to
acceleration and deceleration during starting and
stopping, and the machining resistance.
To select the correct type of LM Guide, the magnitude
of applied loads must be determined in consideration
of the above conditions.
Using the following examples 1 through 10, we will
now calculate the loads applied to the LM Guide.
m : Mass (kg)
rn : Distance (mm)
Fn : External force (N)
Pn : Applied load (N)
(radial and reverse-radial directions)
PnT : Applied load (horizontal direction) (N)
g : Gravitational acceleration (m/s2)
(g = 9.8 m/s2)
V : Velocity
tn : Time constant
n : Acceleration (m/s2)

4.4 Calculating the Equivalent LoadThe LM Guide can bear loads and moments in four
directions, including a radial load (PR), reverse-radial
load (PL), and lateral load (PT), simultaneously.
Applied loads include the following:
A-82
PR : Radial load
PL : Reverse-radial load
PT : Lateral load
MA : Moment in the pitching direction
MB : Moment in the yawing direction
MC : Moment in the rolling direction
Calculation example for LM Guide type HSR
The equivalent load when a radial load (PR) and a
lateral load (PT) are applied simultaneously can
be obtained using the following equation:
PE (equivalent load ) = PR + PT
PR : Radial load
PT : Lateral load
Fig. 35 Directions of the Load and Moment Exerted on the LM Guide
Fig. 36 LM-Guide Equivalent Load
Equivalent load PEWhen more than one load (e.g. , radial and lateral
loads) is exerted on the LM Guide simultaneously, the
service life and static safety factors should be
calculated using equivalent load values obtained by
converting all loads involved into radial, lateral, and
other loads involved.
Equivalent-load equationThe equivalent-load equations for the LM Guide differ
by guide type. For details, see the relevant sections.

19/32
4.5 Static Safety FactorTo calculate a load exerted on the LM Guide, the mean
load necessary for calculating the service life and the
maximum load necessary for calculating the static
safety factor must be obtained in advance. In a system
that is subjected to frequent starts and stops and is
placed under machining loads, and one upon which amoment due to an overhang load is forcefully exerted,
an excessive load greater than expected may develop.
When selecting the correct type of LM Guide for your
purpose, be sure that the type you are considering can
bear the maximum possible load, both when stopped
and when in operation. The table below specifies the
standard values for the static safety factor.
fs : Static safety factor
C0 : Basic static-load rating (radial) (N)
C0L : Basic static-load rating (reverse-radial) (N)
C0R : Basic static-load rating (lateral) (N)
PR : Calculated load (radial) (N)
PL : Calculated load (reverse-radial) (N)
PT : Calculated load (lateral) (N)
fH : Hardness factor (see Fig. 37, page A-86)
fT : Temperature factor (see Fig. 38, page A-86)

4.6 Calculating the Mean LoadAn industrial robot grasps a workpiece using its arm as
it advances, moving further under the load. When it
returns, the arm has no load other than its tare. In a
machine tool, LM blocks receive varying loads
depending on the host-system operating conditions.
The service life of the LM Guide, therefore, should becalculated in consideration of such fluctuations in load.
The mean load (Pm) is the load under which the service
life of the LM Guide becomes equivalent to that under
the varying loads exerted on the LM blocks.
The basic equation for calculating the mean load is as
follows:
where
Pm : mean load (N)
Pn : varying load (N)
L : total running distance (mm)
Ln : running distance under load Pn (mm)
Note: This equation and equation (1) below
apply in cases in which the rolling
elements are balls.

4.7 Service-Life EquationThe service life of the LM Guide can be obtained using
the following equation:
whereL : nominal life (km)
(total distance that can be traveled by at least
90% of a group of LM Guides operated under
the same conditions)
C : basic dynamic-load rating (N)
PC : calculated load (N)
fH : hardness factor (see Fig. 37, page A-86)
fT : temperature factor (see Fig. 38, page A-86)
fC : contact factor (see Table 12, page A-87)
fW : load factor (see Table 13, page A-87)
Once nominal life L is obtained using this equation, the
LM-Guide service life can be calculated using the
following equation, if the stroke length and the number
of reciprocating cycles are constant:
where
Lh : service life in hours (h)
rs: stroke length (mm)
n1 : No. of reciprocating cycles per min (min-1)
fH: Hardness factorTo ensure achievement of the optimum load-bearing
capacity of the LM Guide, the raceway hardness must
be 58 to 64 HRC.
At a hardness below this range, the basic dynamic- and
static-load ratings decrease. The ratings must
therefore be multiplied by the respective hardness
factors (fH).
As the LM Guide has sufficient hardness, fH for the LM
Guide is 1.0 unless otherwise specified.
fT: Temperature factorFor LM Guides used at ambient temperatures over
100C, a temperature factor corresponding to the
ambient temperature, selected from the diagram
below, must be taken into consideration.
In addition, please note that the selected LM Guide
itself must be a model with high-temperature
specifications.
Note: When used at ambient temperatures higherthan 80C, the seals, end plates, and ball
cages used must be changed to those with
high-temperature specifications.

fC: Contact factorWhen mult iple LM blocks are used laid over one
another, moments and mounting-surface precision will
affect operation, making it difficult to achieve uniform
load distribution. For LM blocks used laid over one
another, multiply the basic load rating (C or C0) by a
contact factor selected from the table below.
Note: When the non-uniform load distribution can
be predicted, as in a large system, consider
using a contact factor.
fW: Load factorIn general, machines in reciprocal motion are likely to
cause vibration and impact during operation, and it is
particularly difficult to determine the magnitude of
vibration that develops during high-speed operation, as
well as that of impact during repeated starting and
stopping in normal use. Therefore, where the effects
of speed and vibration are estimated to be significant,
divide the basic dynamic-load rating (C) by a load
factor selected from the table below, which was
compiled based on THKs extensive experience.
