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 ...

Linear bearings, also called linear guide systems, have been used in the U.S. since the early 1900s, most commonly in printing and textile industries. Tom Miller, Bearings business unit manager igus ...

Essentially, a guide wheel is a ball bearing that has a special shaped outer race. The inner and outer races of ball bearings are a framework with a groove for the balls to rest in. Burke explained ...
