**Use of THK Products in Construction**
Source: China Bearing Network | Date: July 23, 2013
THK’s precision-engineered products are not only essential in industrial machinery but also widely used in outdoor and demanding environments. These products are designed to withstand heavy loads and harsh conditions such as mud, splashing, and extreme weather. They play a crucial role in supporting construction equipment, ensuring comfort, safety, and reliability across various applications.
**Earthquake Vibration Control System**
In regions prone to frequent earthquakes, THK’s vibration control system offers a reliable solution. This system utilizes LM guide ball screws to stabilize structures during seismic events, ensuring the safety of people and properties. By minimizing damage and reducing public anxiety, this technology provides peace of mind through its consistent performance and dependability.
**Shock Absorption System for Residential Buildings**
To reduce earthquake damage, THK has developed a shock absorption system that integrates LM guides with damping rubber. This allows buildings to move freely on a plane while absorbing vibrations. The system is particularly effective in protecting lightweight structures from seismic shocks, offering a safer living environment. Building on its expertise in LM guide manufacturing, THK continues to innovate systems that enhance safety during natural disasters.
**Damping Structure for High-Rise Buildings**
THK’s damping rails are used in skyscrapers to absorb horizontal oscillations caused by earthquakes. By incorporating LM guides, the system significantly reduces the impact of ground movements on building structures, cutting down the force of tremors by up to two-thirds. This innovation helps maintain stability and ensures the long-term durability of high-rise constructions.
**Tunnel Boring Machines**
Critical infrastructure such as underground railways and fiber optic networks relies heavily on tunnel boring machines. These machines perform essential excavation tasks beneath the surface. THK’s large LM guides are used in these machines to assist in concrete pouring and precise positioning, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in deep underground operations.

Guide Ring
Guide Ring is a mechanical seal, also known as a guide ring. It is usually made of metal or plastic and used to support and position pistons or rods. Guide Ring has excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance, which can effectively reduce leakage and friction, thereby extending equipment life. Guide Ring is widely used in the hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical, and automotive industries as an important mechanical seal.
The classification of Guide Ring can be divided by material, structure, and purpose. According to material classification, Guide Rings are mainly divided into metal Guide Rings and plastic Guide Rings. Metal Guide Rings are usually made of metals such as copper, iron, and stainless steel, which have high strength, wear resistance, and high-temperature resistance; The plastic Guide Ring is usually made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), nylon, polyimide and other materials, with good corrosion resistance and low friction coefficient.
According to structural classification, Guide Rings are mainly divided into unidirectional Guide Rings and bidirectional Guide Rings. A unidirectional guide ring can only withstand pressure in one direction and is typically used in hydraulic and pneumatic systems; The bidirectional guide ring can withstand bidirectional pressure and is typically used in the mechanical and automotive industries.
According to usage classification, Guide Rings are mainly divided into piston Guide Rings and rod Guide Rings. The piston guide ring is usually used to support and position the piston, preventing friction and leakage between the piston and the cylinder liner; The rod guide ring is used to support and position the rod, preventing friction and leakage between the rod and the seal.
In summary, Guide Ring is an important mechanical seal with a wide range of applications. Guide Rings with different materials, structures, and uses have their own characteristics and advantages. Choosing the appropriate Guide Ring can effectively improve the performance and lifespan of the equipment, reduce maintenance costs and failure rates.
