Today, I will share with you the installation method for the straight guides used as conveyor components. In industrial enterprises, where assembly line operations are carried out, these straight guides serve as guiding devices for conveyor systems; they rely on steel balls to enable continuous, infinite circulation motion between the various guides of the slider. The conveyor platform mounted on these guides also has a certain load-bearing capacity, allowing it to move in a highly precise, linear manner along the pre-set path defined by the guides. When industrial enterprises choose to use straight guide rails for conveyor components in their operations, they also need to pay attention to the installation process to avoid problems such as conveyor malfunctions caused by improper installation. When installing the straight guide rails for the conveyor components, assembly screws can be used first to fix the reference surface of the guide rails at the bottom end of the conveyor frame; thereafter, pliers can be used to secure the side reference surface of the straight guide rails to the side mounting surface of the conveyor frame ； Once the position of the guide rails has been determined, a torque wrench can be used to tighten the screws with a specified torque and in the correct sequence. It is also necessary to ensure that the reference surface at the bottom end of the straight guide rails for the conveyor components is positioned right against the bottom surface of the conveyor frame. The straight blocks can also be placed in between the straight guide rails of the two conveyor components, with gaps maintained at a certain ratio. After that, a tool suitable for measurement and comparison is used to ensure that both the straight blocks and the side reference surfaces of the guide rails are parallel to each other; finally, a specific torque is applied to tighten the mounting screws. First, fix one slider of the driven side guide rail and the two sliders of the reference side guide rail on the conveyor platform. Then, fix the guide rail on the driven side and the remaining slider on the conveyor platform as well, using the reference side guide rail as a precise reference surface ； At the same time, it is also necessary to start from one end of the straight guide rail of the conveyor accessories and check the rolling resistance of the straight guide rail on the driven side; only after this has been confirmed thoroughly should the screws be tightened.
