Linear guideways provide linear motion by re-circulating rolling elements between a profiled rail and a bearing block. The coefficient of friction on a linear guideway is only 1/50 compared to a traditional slide.
Updated February 2019 || The best approach to specifying and sizing linear rails is to define the most critical parameters of the application first; narrow the choices based on these requirements; and then apply critical variables to make the final linear-rail selection.
Typical linear-motion arrangements consist of rails or shafts, carriages and runner blocks, and some type of moving element. Engineers differentiate these systems by the type of surface...
The Redi-Rail Linear Slides are offered in both metric and inch measurement systems as well as a metric low profile option. They can be optimized for corrosion resistance with 440 Stainless Steel races and can be implemented in several applications; such as automated vending, robotic dispensing, large format door-frames, industrial linear ...
Sliding element linear guides consist of a carriage or slide that rides over a surface known as a rail, way, or guide. Sliding contact occurs when the moving part directly contacts the rail section. Rolling element linear guides are either recirculating or non-recirculating.
Reliable and versatile, HepcoMotion offers a wide range of linear motion systems and automation components to meet practically any requirement, including linear bearings, linear guides and rails, ball screw assemblies, and drawer slides.
Dovetail, boxway, sleeve bearing, linear bushing, linear slide, crossing roller, and ball screw slides are the most popular types of linear slides. From a purely performance perspective, linear rails are the best. They offer greater precision, better mounting, and smoother motion and reliability.
