Linear Motion

Linear Ball Bushings

• Related terms: linear bearings, linear ball bearings, linear bushes, linear motion bushings
• Cylindrical bearings with recirculating balls that run along a hardened shaft to provide smooth, low-friction linear movement. Used in 3D printers, CNC machines, packaging equipment and automation systems where accurate, repeatable straight-line motion is required.

Linear Guiderails

• Related terms: linear guide rails, linear rails, profile rails, linear guides and carriages
• Precision rails and carriages that use recirculating balls or rollers to deliver highly accurate, rigid linear motion under load. They offer greater load capacity and stiffness than shaft-based systems and are widely used in CNC machinery, robotics, measuring equipment and industrial automation.

Ball Screw Nuts

• Related terms: ball nuts, ball screw assemblies, ballscrew nuts, precision ball nuts
• Nuts with recirculating balls that run along a ball screw, converting rotary motion into precise linear motion with very low friction. Their high efficiency and accuracy make them essential in CNC machines, actuators, positioning stages and automation equipment.

Ball Screw Support Units

• Related terms: ball screw end supports, fixed side supports, floating side supports, BK and BF support units
• Bearing units that support the ends of a ball screw, holding it in accurate alignment while carrying axial and radial loads. Available in fixed and floating designs, they help maintain precision, reduce vibration and extend the life of linear drive systems.

Dry Sliding Strips

• Related terms: slide strips, wear strips, low friction strips, self-lubricating sliding strips
• Low-friction strips that provide smooth sliding movement between surfaces without the need for oil or grease. Used as wear and guide strips in machinery, conveyors, slideways and linear systems, they reduce wear, noise and maintenance.
