Crossed-roller linear guides are based on a non-recirculating linear bearing design in which cylindrical roller bearing elements are oriented in a crisscross pattern. Because the rollers don’t ...

Unlike conventional ball or roller-based linear guides, hydrostatic guidance systems eliminate all metal-to-metal contact. The guide carriages move on a thin cushion of high-pressure fluid, which ...

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 ...

Have you ever opened a drawer in your desk? Or moved a sliding door? What about operating a conveyor belt in an automation line? With any of these activities, chances are you have used a linear guide ...

Linear bearings are used in applications where a component needs to be moved along a straight line with high accuracy. The object may also need to be returned to its origin with high repeatability.
