Linear Technology
Wherever machines move precisely along an axis, VOL-Stahl profiles guide the motion: cold-drawn precision profiles for linear rails, guide carriages and telescopic slides — from miniature to maximum format.
Precision from the drawing die
Cold drawing produces the tight tolerances, smooth surfaces and high dimensional stability that linear technology demands. Our precision profiles serve as raw material for profiled rails and carriages — or are delivered hardened, ground and ready to install.
Telescopic slides
For pull-outs, load handling devices and machine axes we manufacture telescopic rail profiles with full or partial extension. Cross-sections are engineered together with the customer for load, deflection and installation space.
From miniature to maximum
The spectrum ranges from miniature rails for medical and laboratory equipment to heavy-duty guides for machine tools and intralogistics — always from our own European drawing plants, always to your drawing.
Typical applications
- Raw profiles for profiled linear guide rails
- Guide carriage profiles
- Telescopic slide profiles with full extension
- Miniature guide rails for medical and lab devices
- Heavy-duty guides for machine tools
- Hardened and machined ready-to-install rails
VOL-Stahl manufactures cold-drawn precision profiles for the linear technology industry: raw and finished profiles for linear guide rails, guide carriages and telescopic slides in full or partial extension. Cold drawing delivers tight tolerances, excellent surface quality and high dimensional stability — the foundation for smooth-running, durable linear systems. The range spans miniature rails for medical and laboratory equipment up to heavy-duty guides for machine tools, automation and intralogistics, on request hardened, ground and machined ready for installation. Developed to customer drawings in our own European plants.
