A Smarter Way to Select and Specify Profile Rail

Whether you’re developing new automation equipment or updating an existing machine, choosing the correct linear guide system is critical. The NTN Profile Rail Configurator makes it easier than ever to build the right profile rail assembly for your application.

How It Works

The configurator walks you step‑by‑step through the design process:

  1. Choose Your Rail Series
    Select from NTN’s full lineup of profile rail options based on your load, precision, and environmental requirements.
  2. Build the Exact Configuration You Need
    • Rail sizes
    • Block style and quantity
    • Preload and accuracy class
    • Rail length, mounting style, and accessories
  3. Download 2D/3D CAD Models Instantly
    Get the files you need—ready to drop directly into your design software.
  4. Generate a Complete Part Number
    The tool ensures accuracy, making ordering faster and error-free.

Interchange Made Easy

Have an existing linear guide from another manufacturer? The Interchange Tool allows you to quickly cross-reference competitor part numbers to the equivalent NTN solution.

Just enter the competitor’s part number, and the system instantly provides:

  • NTN’s interchangeable product

This is a huge time-saver when converting equipment or standardizing component platforms.
