The MSA and MSB series linear guides have a four-row circular contact design. Four rows of balls are positioned with contact angles at 45 degrees allowing even distribution of load in radial, reverse-radial and lateral directions.
The MSA and MSB series can be used in any orientation.
A range of balanced preload levels provide increased rigidity while maintaining the low friction requirements of stable and high accuracy linear motion.

A Reliable and Realistic Servo Gearhead Sizing Selection
By Dr. Gerhard G. Antony Neugart USA LP
Automation, motion control and positioning applications are characterized by repeated
acceleration and deceleration cycles associated with frequent starts / stops and direction reversals. The characteristic load cycle of an application usually consist of a number of load peaks of different intensity and duration. The exact load cycle of a machine is not easy to predict; however, it can be measured and a statistically representative load characteristic cycle can be generated.

The Best Balanced Planetary Ratio from a Torque Density Point of View
By Dr. Gerhard G. Antony / Neugart USA LP
What ratio is the optimal for a certain application depends on the motor and application parameters such as required torque, rpm and, inertial match. For easier computation it is preferred that the planetary gearbox ratio is an exact integer ( 3, 4, 6 ..... ). Since we are so used to the decimal system, one frequently is tempted to use 10:1 even though this has no practical advantaged for the computer / servo / motion controller. Actually, as we will see, 10:1 or higher ratios are the weakest; using the least "balanced" size gears and hence has the lowest torque rating.
