Way wiper systems

For protecting guideways on machine tools.

Way wiper types BA and BAS

Wipers of this type have a replaceable lip and guarantee high form stability and mechanical loading capacity. They are manufactured in custom forms according to your specifications and are also available as bar material.

Properties

  • Temperature range from -40 °C to 100 °C
  • Material for support element: Aluminum
  • Material for scraper lip: polyurethane
  • Resistant to alkaline-based substances, amino acids, petrol and hydrolysis, as well as oxygen, ozone and UV rays
  • Mostly resistant against oil, grease, bases and water
  • Pretension approx. 2 mm
  • Replaceable scraper lip
  • Standard lengths rod goods: 1000 mm


Reduce costs
With types BA and BAS the wiper lip is replaceable. In case of wear, only the lip has to be exchanged; the support profile can remain in use. 

Type BA

Path way wipers from this type series are predominantly used for tight installation conditions or those areas where the way wiper is additionally protected by a telescopic cover, a bellows or a link apron or where no shavings or chips occur.

Type BAS

The lightweight metal support is manufactured with a protector for the way wiper lip with this type series. These are predominantly utilized for direct chip waste (no hot chips).

Type BASN

The way wiper lip in this type series is equipped with an additional support lug, which increases the contact pressure of the lip.

Principal characteristics
 

  • Interchangeability with all products on the market.
  • Perfect adaptability.
  • Countersunk screws or bolts are not required.
  • Simple exchangability of the way wiping strip.
  • Perfect adhesion of the back of the way wiper.
  • Special customer-specific harnessing.

Pre-wiper for protection of the guideway

To protect the wiper lip from hot chips, and to remove coarse and stubborn dirt from the guideway, the way wiper must be fitted with a pre-wiper made from stainless spring steel or brass. 

The pre-wiper and its corresponding light metal clamping strip are affixed to the machine component with the fastening screws of the wiper. 

For straight way wipers with a corresponding hole pattern (distance between holes ≤ 80 mm), the clamping strip is not required.

Way wiper BA 65 VARIO

The most economical alternative to cast wipers – even for small quantities. On request we also manufacture them according to your specifications – custom tailored for your application. BA 65 VARIO way wipers are optionally available as complete wipers, or as individual wiper lips in bar form for your own harnessing.

So-called “cast wipers” are wipers consisting of a piece of neoprene rubber vulcanised onto a steel support profile. They are produced in specially-manufactured injection moulds. Larger quantities are essential, as the tool costs must be offset by the number of parts produced. 

For the wiper system BA 65 Vario no special tools are required: A pre-finished profile of synthetic rubber is customized tailored.
The support profile – usually made from metal – can be produced on a laser or nibbling machine. 

Thus, smaller quantities can be produced in this way at a reasonable cost.

Properties

  • Temperature resistance – 40 °C to + 100 °C, briefly up to 140 °C
  • Support material: Steel, stainless steel
  • Wiper lip material: Abrasion-resistant synthetic rubber (NBR)
  • Resistant to standard oils, greases, acids and bases
  • Pretension of the wiper lip: max. 1 mm
  • Resistant to microorganisms

Wipers on telescopic covers

Wipers on telescopic covers keep the cover boxes clean and prevent the penetration of dirt and chips.

Welded-on and riveted-on wipers

With these types the support profile is spot-welded or riveted to the cover box.

Type MA 8

Type MA 12

These wipers consist of an NBR profile vulcanized onto a steel strip. Necessary calculated distance of the cover plates 2.5 to 3.5 mm.

Type MA 8S / MA 12S

Wipers MA 8S and MA 12S are covered with a protective strip for protection against hot chips. Necessary calculated distance of the cover plates 3.5 to 4 mm

Type MA 12.1

Type MA 18

A specially rolled steel plate profile is spot-welded to the boxes and a PUR scraper lip is pressed in. Required calculated spacing of the cover sheet metal 3.5 to 5.5 mm. The support profile of the MA 18 is made of aluminum and can be screwed, bolted or riveted on. It is also possible to attach an additional damping cord.

Type VA 12

Type VA 17G

The interchangeable way wiper with PU lip

This generation of way wipers can be interchanged directly on the machine without removing the telescopic cover. The way wiper lips have good sliding properties and can also be used where little lubricant is produced e.g. On tooling machines. Rotary locks fix the way wiper on the cover sheet. The way wiper system is locked or unlocked by rotating the rotary locks by 90°. This makes it simple to replace and renew the system. Necessary calculated distance for the covering sheet: 4 mm (VA 12 G) and/or 6 mm (VA 17 G).
