Linear-motion bearings deal with the problem of providing low-friction translational (rather than rotational) motion. Sliding-surface bearings are stiffer and deflect less under load than ...

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 ...

Most linear bearings incorporate ball bearings (usually of metal) to reduce friction between moving parts. Of these designs, most bushings, ball splines, linear guides and slides recirculate balls. As ...

Linear bearings are distinguished from radial bearings by their sliding rather than rotary motion. Linear bearings are used in machine tool applications such as sliding doors, 3D printers, and ...

Rotary Air Bearings provide High Precision Motion with Minimal Eccentricity and Wobble. The rotary air bearing on the left is non motorized – its low friction is apparent from the long time it keeps ...
