Engineers and manufacturers are increasingly turning to robots for increased productivity, and key to these engineering marvels are linear guides. Martin Ahner, head of norelem ACADEMY, discusses the ...

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 ...

Much time and attention is focused on choosing the best bearings for linear motion tasks. But what about the components that guide the application and keep everything in line? Shafting and rails are ...

The guides areruggedly constructed of carbon steel and can be configured precisely to avariety of specifications, including length, height, load rating and tappedhole machining. In addition to thedust ...

Linear guides are precision mechanical assemblies that operate as part of a system. As such, they can only perform to the degree that they are properly integrated into the overall machine. Merely ...

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.
