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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
