Comparison with stainless steel guide rails:
Although stainless steel is stronger than aluminum alloy, aluminum has a better strength to weight ratio and is suitable for lightweight design.
The hardness of aluminum alloy is comparable to that of steel, but aluminum has better thermal conductivity and is less prone to rusting.
High strength, corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant, high load application scenario: Choose stainless steel guide rails.
Lightweight, easy to process, and cost sensitive application scenarios: choose aluminum rails.
It is necessary to meet the requirements of strength, corrosion resistance, and lightweight at the same time: it is necessary to weigh the pros and cons according to the specific situation and choose suitable materials
Overall, aluminum guide rails are widely used in various situations that require linear motion due to their advantages of lightweight, high strength to weight ratio, good electrical and thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance.
