What are the common materials for cross roller guide cages?

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.
