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 ...
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 ...
