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.

The Automation series is designed for applications requiring straight-line movement and now includes linear bearings in chrome, ceramic-hybrid, and full-ceramic ZrO2 options. The broadened ...

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 ...

Because these traversing systems are so widespread, every aspect of linear electromechanical design is continually being improved — from guidance and load support to actuation and control. With its ...
