Hydrostatic Guideways have numerous advantages over sliding and rolling elements

• High speeds at rapid traverse rate

• High stiffness and high-load carrying capacity

• Extremely high accuracy even upto 0.1 µm

• High machining precision due to low friction

• Better surface quality of work piece

• Longer life by high damping of micro-vibrations

• Higher chip production power due to high damping

• Permanently free of backlash

• Free of wear

• PM flow controller instead of capillary tube

• Prices comparable with ball & roller linear systems
