NSK roller guides increase uptime of blow moulding machines A manufacturer of PET plastic bottles frequently had to replace the linear guides on its blow moulding machines. However, after switching to NSK RA series roller guides there have been no failures for over a year, producing savings in maintenance, spare parts and downtime of €60,000. In applications involving short stroke movements, fast cycle times, frequent start-stop operations and increased displacement force during start-up, RA series roller guides are known to offer high load-carrying capacity and motion accuracy, as well as extreme rigidity, smooth running and long service life. The PET bottle manufacturer is now upgrading its other blow moulding machines. Discover more about NSK RA series roller guides at www.nskeurope.com/en/nsk-innovative-products/roller-guide-ra-series
