Structure of hydrostatic guideways

Hydrostatic V-flat guide
- For precision machines with low machining forces
- No deformation due to screws
- Lateral stiffness and load-bearing capacity depends on the vertical force on the V-pockets

Prismatic hydrostatic guide
- Stiffer than V-flat guide
- Better and easier to produce
- For larger forces

Hydrostatic guide with handle
- For highly loaded guideways in turning or milling machines
- For vertical use
- Static rigidity higher than with recirculating roller bearing guides
- Low oil requirement
- Concept for cost-effective production of individual parts and simple assembly
- Low and parallel deformation
