This article will examine several examples of how to select the appropriate linear bushing for the application. Impact on performance from material and surface treatments will be discussed.

Linear bearings are distinguished from radial bearings by their sliding rather than rotary motion. Linear bearings are used in machine tool applications such as sliding doors, 3D printers, and ...

The ability to mount and move equipment is essential to any modern manufacturing plant. Many factory and machine setups have doors, cages, containers, and panels that move to allow workers access to ...

Precise movements are made with precision slides. Reciprocating linear bearing accuracy, the possible runout in any plane, is typically as low as 0.005 in./in. Because linear bearings are only as ...

Design engineers that want to ensure their high-precision linear motion systems are made to last can get a video lesson from Thomson Industries. The company, which supplies mechanical motion solutions ...

Adjustable clearance, lubrication-free and resistance to contamination are today’s current trends in linear technology. Keeping in line with these, the plain bearing expert igus® have developed a new ...

Rotary Air Bearings provide High Precision Motion with Minimal Eccentricity and Wobble. The rotary air bearing on the left is non motorized – its low friction is apparent from the long time it keeps ...

Offered as a viable alternative to metric ball bearings, the inch series linear ball bearings sport a compact design and re-circulating balls to reduce friction and promote limitless stroke. Meeting ...
