Specification of Linear Bearing Bushing
A linear-motion bearing or linear slide is a bearing designed to provide free motion in one direction. There are many different types of linear motion bearings.
Motorized linear slides such as machine slides, X-Y tables,
roller tables and some dovetail slides are bearings moved by drive
mechanisms. Not all linear slides are motorized, and non-motorized
dovetail slides, ball bearing slides and roller slides provide
low-friction linear movement for equipment powered by inertia or by
hand. All linear slides provide linear motion based on bearings, whether
they are ball bearings, dovetail bearings, linear roller bearings, magnetic or fluid bearings.
X-Y tables, linear stages, machine slides and other advanced slides use
linear motion bearings to provide movement along both X and Y multiple
axis.
