The Right Choice For Linear Guides

There are more and more types and specifications of linear guides. Users need to choose the appropriate product according to the actual usage. It is worth noting the key points of linear-oriented assembly and maintenance. This is a very important professional cognition for many practitioners, and it is worth learning and thinking about. Linear motion guides can be divided into sliding friction guides, rolling friction guides, elastic friction guides, fluid friction guides and other types.
The linear guide motion is used to support and guide the moving parts, and perform reciprocating linear motion in a given direction. Linear guides are mainly used in mechanical structures that require high precision. There is no intermediate medium between the moving unit and the fixed unit of the linear guide, but rolling steel balls are used. Linear guides are used for slider cylindrical roller bearings, which have a large total contact area and can withstand many loads, while ball linear guides are used for slider spherical roller bearings, which can withstand relatively small loads. Its advantage is that the contact area is small, and its frictional resistance is also small.
