A guide should follow the part without marking it or interfering with travel. We review the contact area and mounting before defining a new geometry or material.
Typical applications
- Product and container guidance along lines.
- Sliding, positioning and travel limitation.
What we review
- Contact geometry and available travel.
- Fastenings, clearances and adjacent components.
- Wear, friction and the material in contact.
What you can send to get started
- Guide sample or drawing and the part it guides.
- Mounting photos and a description of the behavior to improve.
If you do not have a drawing, share what is available. A worn sample is reviewed alongside its mating surfaces and components; it is not assumed to retain the original geometry.
