What are the common materials for cross roller guide cages?

Publish Time: 2023-06-27     Origin: Site

Crossed roller guide cage materials include brass,steel,plastic resin,and aluminum alloy.



●Brass cages are commonly used due to their high strength and good corrosion resistance. However, they are heavier and more expensive than other materials.


Steel cages are also strong and have good wear resistance. They are typically less expensive than brass cages and are suitable for high-speed applications. However, they can be prone to corrosion and may require additional coatings.


●Plastic cage: the advantages are light weight, corrosion resistance, not easy to rust, and has good self-lubrication performance, which can reduce friction noise;  the disadvantage is that the wear resistance is poor, susceptible to high temperature and ultraviolet light, and the service life is relatively short.



●Aluminum alloy cage: The advantages are high strength, corrosion resistance, not easy to rust, long service life;  the disadvantage is that the weight is relatively heavy and the cost is high.
