DIN 637:2024-12

This document has been prepared by DIN Standards Committee Rolling Bearings and Plain Bearings (NAWGL), Working Committee NA 118-01-11 AA "Linear-Wälzlager einschließlich Teile und Zubehör" ("Linear motion rolling bearings including parts and supplies"). This document is applicable for profiled rail guides with recirculating rolling elements according to DIN ISO 12090-1 and DIN ISO 12090-2, and defines safety relevant specifications for dimensioning and operation. It is to be utilised for reducing potential hazards when using profiled rail guides, as well as for evaluating and determining residual risks, and will therefore simplify the tasks of manufacturers of machines when utilising profiled rail guides with recirculating rolling elements when implementing the EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and DIN EN ISO 12100. Within the meaning of this document, users of profiled rail guides are taken to be users such as, for example, machinery manufacturers, plant and/or system constructors, system integrators and other companies which place profiled rail guards on the market.
