GF-N linear guide profile: aluminium rail for linear rollers
An extruded aluminium rail from the GF-N series in which linear rollers run: you use it for trolleys, slides and moving parts that have to run straight along the structure. It is a guide profile, not an upright: it works together with the Green Frame tubes that form the frame.
Why choose it
Straight stroke
The linear rollers run in the rail: the moving part stays aligned over the whole stroke.
Stiff
Moment of inertia up to 23.04 × 10⁴ mm⁴: the guide does not bend under the moving part.
For karakuri
Slides, transfer trolleys and parts that traverse by gravity or counterweight.
Custom stroke
We cut it to the stroke length you need.
Choose it if…
- A moving part has to run straight on linear rollers.
- You need a stiff guide for slides or small trolleys.
- You are building transfer or karakuri mechanisms.
Choose another solution if…
- You want a slide on a tube that remains part of the structure: GF-N LS profile →
- You need a tube for uprights and cross members: GF-N profile →
- The rollers can run in a 10 mm slot: GF-N profile with C10 slot →

How to use it
Rail, rollers and structure:
Linear rollers
GFW-645 linear rollers run in the rail: each carries 10 N and is tightened to 2 N·m.
Count the rollers
The number of rollers depends on the weight of the moving part: at 10 N per roller we calculate it with you.
It is not an upright
It is a guide profile: for uprights and cross members use Green Frame tubes.
Tell us the stroke and the weight of the moving part: we will propose rail, rollers and fixings.
The LeanProducts service
From drawing to finished structure, with a single point of contact:
Design and load calculation
We start from your sketch or dimensions: we choose profiles and connectors and check spans, joints and loads.
Cut to length
We cut the profiles in our workshop to the lengths in the design, ready to assemble.
Kit or assembled structure
You receive the kit with the cut parts and the list of components, or the structure already assembled.
Spare parts and modifications
When the process changes we supply components and new cuts to modify or extend the structure.
Send us a sketch, a photo or the overall dimensions: we will reply with codes, quantities and cut lengths.

The load capacity of the guide depends on the number of rollers and how it is fixed to the frame: we check it with you on the project.
