These U.S.-manufactured passive air bearing slides can be paired with manual adjustment mechanisms or integrated into larger automated positioning systems using linear motors or other actuation ...

Low-friction, high-stiffness ball guides support on one rail (top) or two (bottom). The trade-offs for this performance are higher cost and more noise. The shortest path between two points is a ...

Linear-motion slides meet low electrostatic-discharge requirements found in the semiconductor and electronics industries. Linear-motion slides meet low electrostatic-discharge requirements found in ...

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 ...
