The difference between aluminum rail side-mounted and rail flush-mounted is mainly reflected in the mounting method, precision and applicable scenarios.

Installation method
Guide rail flush mounting: the mounting surface of the guide rail is parallel to the foundation surface and fixed on the foundation by bolts. This type of installation has large support area and strong stability.
Side mounting of guide rail: the mounting surface of the guide rail is at a certain angle with the foundation surface, and fixed on the foundation after adjusted by shims or bolts. This type of mounting is suitable for the case of space limitation.
Precision difference
Straightness accuracy: the straightness accuracy of the guide rail flush mounted is higher, because its mounting surface is consistent with the direction of movement, large support area, and strong stability. The straightness accuracy of rail side mounting may be affected by the inappropriate installation angle.
Verticality accuracy: the verticality accuracy of the guide rail flush mounted is also higher, because its mounting surface is parallel to the base surface, which can ensure that the guide rail is perpendicular to the base surface. The verticality accuracy of the rail side mounting will be affected by the installation angle and the accuracy of the adjustment spacer.
Parallelism accuracy: the parallelism accuracy of the guide rail flush mounted is higher, because its mounting surface is parallel to the base surface, which can ensure the parallelism between the rails is consistent. The parallelism accuracy of rail side mounting will be affected by the mounting angle and the accuracy of adjusting shims.
Applicable Scenarios
Guideway flush mounting: applicable to the need for high precision and smooth operation of the occasion, such as precision machinery and automation equipment.
Guideway side mounting: applicable to space constraints or the need for a specific angle of installation occasions, such as some special structure of the machinery and equipment.
