The MX Series of linear-roller bearings offer extreme rigidity, high accuracy, and smooth motion. Four rows of cylindrical rollers provide a greater contact area and deliver a higher load capacity ...

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 ...

The challenge that machine tool builders face when designing spindles for milling machines and lathes is selecting bearings with the optimal balance of speed, load-carrying capacity, stiffness, and ...

This is the third and final report in a series, Selecting, Configuring and Lubricating Tapered Roller Bearings for High-Speed Machine Tool Spindles. The first installment is Selecting Tapered Roller ...

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 ...

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 ...
