Schneeberger MONORAIL guideways are used in machine tools, automation, medical equipment, and semiconductor manufacturing.
Standard rails are up to 6 meters, with factory-ground joints allowing seamless extensions beyond that length.
MONORAILs are offered in four accuracy classes (G0–G3) and four preload levels (V0–V3) to match different application needs.
Schneeberger’s barrel-shaped rollers prevent edge loading, providing smoother operation and longer life compared to cylindrical rollers.
It is especially suited for machine tool applications, where robustness and long service life are critical.
Its optimized geometry ensures uniform ball engagement, resulting in consistent force distribution and reduced wear.
The BM Ball MONORAIL is ideal for automation systems and precision applications where accuracy and reliability are required.
Yes, Schneeberger offers all-stainless MONORAILs for corrosive or hygienic environments.
Options include Armoloy® coatings and custom factory-applied lubricants (high-temp, low-temp, food-grade, or medical).
Yes, specialized MONORAIL solutions are engineered to address outgassing and particle control for semiconductor environments.
Mini MONORAILs use two raceways instead of four, making them suitable for lighter-duty and compact automation systems.
The AMS platform integrates a linear encoder directly into the rail, available in both roller and ball guideways, offering precise feedback in a robust design.
Schneeberger’s MONORAIL linear guideways deliver unmatched precision, durability, and customization for industries ranging from machine tools to semiconductors. With roller and ball guideway options, stainless steel or coated variations, and integrated linear encoders, MONORAIL systems are engineered to extend service life, support heavy-duty loads, and meet unique environmental demands.

For over a century, Schneeberger has been advancing bearing and linear technology. With more than 40 years in the United States, the company’s MONORAIL profile rail guideways have become a trusted solution for industries requiring precision motion—whether in machine tools, automation, or high-tech semiconductor applications.
CPC connectors are manufactured in ISO-certified cleanrooms and sealed in double heat-treated packaging to ensure product integrity. Each component is carefully handled from production through packaging. Made from USP Class VI tested, animal-derived component-free, PVC-free, and phthalate-free materials, CPC connectors fully comply with FDA and RoHS requirements – making them ideal for regulated medical environments.
MONORAIL guideways are available in both MR (roller) and BM (ball) versions. Regardless of type, each carriage features:
Fully sealed housings with additional wipers to keep debris out of the raceways.
Four accuracy classes, from highest (G0) to standard (G3).
Four preload levels, from V0 (lowest) to V3 (highest).
These configurations allow engineers to tailor guideway performance to the accuracy, stiffness, and load requirements of their application.
Customers can select from multiple rail-end solutions, including:
Plastic, brass, or steel plugs.
Schneeberger’s unique cover strip option, a snap-in design originally engineered for machine tools but widely adopted for its durability.
Rails are available in lengths up to 6 meters as standard. For longer applications, Schneeberger offers factory-ground RR and RBI rails, which can be seamlessly joined end-to-end without compromising straightness
CPC connectors prioritize usability with intuitive thumb latches, push-button or twist disconnections, and audible engagement that provides clear feedback – even while wearing gloves. Additional features such as caps, plugs, and locking sleeves further safeguard system integrity between uses.
The MRA Roller MONORAIL is one of Schneeberger’s most robust solutions, originally designed in the heart of the German machine tool industry. Unlike cylindrical rollers, its barrel-shaped rollers eliminate edge loading, resulting in:
Smoother motion.
Longer service life.
Greater load distribution for heavy-duty applications.
The BM Ball MONORAIL features an optimized geometry that ensures even ball engagement across the raceways. This design provides:
Uniform force distribution, reducing wear.
Extended system life, even under demanding workloads.
Reliable support for high-precision automation and motion systems.
Schneeberger recognizes that not all environments are the same. To meet specialized needs, the company offers:
All-stainless steel MONORAILs, ideal for corrosive or hygienic environments.
Coated guideways (commonly Armoloy®), for added protection against harsh conditions.
Customized lubricants, pre-applied at the factory, to support high-temp, low-temp, food-grade, or medical applications.
Beyond machine tools and automation, MONORAIL products are also engineered for semiconductor manufacturing, where outgassing and particle generation are critical concerns. Schneeberger provides tailored solutions for these demanding environments, proving its adaptability across industries.
For lighter-duty applications, Schneeberger offers Mini MONORAILs, which use two raceways instead of four – ideal for compact automation setups. Additionally, the AMS platform integrates a linear encoder directly into the rail, available in both roller and ball versions. With over 40 years of proven success, this encoder integration provides precise feedback while maintaining system robustness.
From machine tools to advanced semiconductor equipment, Schneeberger MONORAIL systems provide reliable, customizable linear guideway solutions. With a century of expertise, Schneeberger continues to set the benchmark for precision, durability, and innovation in linear motion technology.
