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.

The self-adjusting-type Power Linear Bush uses cages made of a synthetic resin that continually lubricates the rolling elements. The hardened-steel ball plate features a precisely ground groove ...

The Automation series is designed for applications requiring straight-line movement and now includes linear bearings in chrome, ceramic-hybrid, and full-ceramic ZrO2 options. The broadened ...

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 ...
