Linear roller bearings do exactly what it sounds like they do. They “bear” the weight of an object while it “rolls” along the “linear” path set out for it. It is a simple concept that works in a practical way and requires very little maintenance or expense, which is why such a simple concept is still so popular in Continue reading
Most linear bearings are shaped in the way their name suggests; linearly. However, the needle bearings are circular, shaped like a wide metallic doughnut whose edges are filled with rotating rollers to aid in the movement of whatever they are attached to. They reduce the friction of the Continue reading
When discussing industrial products, most people must imagine large pieces of machinery and equally large metallic structures created by them. The word “industrial” suggest strength and size. However, this is not always the case. Many industrial products, which are used as parts in larger systems, are actually small enough to be Continue reading
There is always a model within a large industrial category that is able to do what no other model can do. Within the spectrum of linear bearings, the linear rotary bearing is that model. However, just because it can move in ways other linear bearings cannot does not mean it is Continue reading
Linear ball bearings are one model amongst many in the linear bearing production lines. These helpful products are installed in a variety of industrial contexts, including mechanical, electronic and furniture systems that require one-way movement along a single axis. They function in similar enough ways to Continue reading
The utilization of the most basic element in our world for something other then breathing is amazing in and of itself. The fact that it has been manipulated to create toxin free energy is pretty amazing too. So linear air bearings, which use a film of compressed air as a cushion in between two objects that need free movement in one direction while Continue reading
The key to success for a linear bearing design is creating motion without friction, which can cause problems in a large system and deteriorate the materials used to create the parts. Everyone knows that rotating rollers and balls are popular forms of Continue reading
