A linear guide is a block-and-rail system that helps support motion. The linear block moves forward and backward along the plane on which the rail is positioned.

Properly specified and installed, linear guides deliver effective performance in linear motion systems. Be alert for the pitfalls above and your system will be positioned for success.

The Rollon MiniRoller Rail delivers a compact, roller-bearing linear guide system with induction-hardened raceways– between ...

Applications that require rapid acceleration/deceleration or high start-stop rates need rails with low or inertia ratings, and typically the larger inertia-rated rails. Friction, vibration, and noise ...
