1. There were no issues when it was used previously, but problems arose after the weight was increased, indicating that the load capacity of EP13 has been exceeded. (Specifications need to be upgraded) 2. Based on the photo, it appears that a total of four sliders are mounted on two aluminum profiles. If the issue is not related to the load, it is likely that the previously installed linear guideways were in good condition with respect to parallelism and twist, whereas the newly installed components exhibit greater deviations in these aspects. This results in an increased coefficient of friction, which in turn accelerates wear of the engineering plastics. 3. To address this issue, one can use self-aligning sliders with a low coefficient of friction, which can mitigate the problem to a certain extent. Moreover, high-density engineering plastics cannot be precisely controlled down to fine details. In addition, the testing method involves using PEEK material, which has higher rigidity than the currently employed high-density engineering plastic EP13. Because each of our customers’ circumstances is different when using our products, we are unable to provide a standardized set of instructions. We have sold tens of thousands of products, and this is the first time a customer has raised such a question.
