Technical equipment used in hospital operating theatres is subject to stringent requirements in terms of safety, reliability and flexibility. The contribution made by rolling bearings and linear ...

Lubrication-free DryLin® R linear plain bearings replace bearing guides. A wide range is currently available ex-stock. DryLin® R linear plain bearings from igus® UK are free from lubrication, robust ...

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 ...

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 ...

Design refinements boost performance of self-aligning ball bushing while maintaining their error-correcting nature.

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 ...

Thanks to the smooth-running precision linear guides with crossed roller bearings, the linear stage is particularly suitable for scanning applications with constant velocity. The anti-creep system ...

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.
