Product Overview
U-Channel Profile Rails
Steel U-channel and C-profile guide rails for combined-bearing linear systems, supplied as standard NbV/JDG sections or cut to length.
Steel U-Channel and C-Profile Guide Rails
A U-channel or C-profile rail is the running track of a combined-bearing linear system. The radial roller runs on the rail web while the axial roller guides against the flange, so the section geometry, steel grade and straightness set both the load path and the available running clearance.
How the Rail and Bearing Work Together
- The web carries the radial load transferred by the radial roller
- The flange guides the axial roller and controls lateral position
- Section height and flange thickness decide the mounting envelope
- Straightness and support spacing control carriage smoothness
Rails are supplied as the Standard 0 to 4 NbV sections and the heavier JDG123, JDG150 and JDG152 profiles. Each section is matched to a defined range of combined bearing models.

Reference Groups
U-Channel Profile Rails series and model references
Use these groups to identify the requested design. A reference is not an interchange approval; dimensions, suffixes and operating conditions must still be checked.
| Design group | Common references or options |
|---|---|
| Light sections | Standard 0 NbV / JDG62; Standard 1 NbV / JDG70 |
| Medium sections | Standard 2 NbV / JDG78; Standard 3 NbV / JDG89 |
| Heavy sections | Standard 4 NbV / JDG108; JDG123, JDG150, JDG152 |
| Rail steel | 20MnSiV guide steel; running-surface hardness agreed per order |
| Supply formats | Standard fixed length or cut to length after confirmation |

Verification
Drawings, inspection records and application evidence
Evidence is matched to the quoted product and order scope from our Changzhou manufacturing process. Batch documents are confirmed against the agreed drawing before shipment.
Technical drawings
Reference sheets support identification. Controlled manufacturing drawings require model and factory confirmation.
Inspection records
Request dimensional, marking, packing or factory-document checks with the RFQ. Availability is confirmed before order placement.
Factory and equipment media
Only dated factory media or inspection records captured for the quoted product batch are used as evidence.
Customer applications
Cases are published only with permission or in anonymized form using verified order and application facts.

Section Data, Matching and Ordering
Our Standard NbV profile range lists the individual section references with article numbers, mass and matched bearing classes. Use the bearing and profile matching tool to check a combination, then confirm the controlled drawing.
What to Send with an Enquiry
Provide the section reference or section drawing, the mating bearing model, required length and quantity, rail steel, surface condition, straightness requirement and delivery destination. Cut lengths are confirmed against stock before the order is accepted.
Running clearance depends on alignment as well as section, so review the rail clearance and alignment guide before installation. Request U-channel rail dimensions and availability.
