What Is A Linear Guide
Jun 22, 2021
Linear sliders can be divided into three types: roller linear guides, cylindrical linear guides, and ball linear guides. They are used to support and guide moving parts and perform reciprocating linear motion in a given direction. Depending on the nature of friction, linear motion guides can be divided into sliding friction guides, rolling friction guides, elastic friction guides, fluid friction guides and other types.
Linear guides, also known as linear guides, slides, linear guides, and linear slides, are used in high-precision or high-speed linear reciprocating motion applications, and can bear a certain torque, and can achieve high-precision linear motion under high load conditions. It is called linear guide in the mainland, and generally called linear guide or linear slide in Taiwan.
The function of the linear guide motion is to support and guide the moving parts to make a reciprocating linear motion in a given direction. Depending on the nature of friction, linear motion guides can be divided into sliding friction guides, rolling friction guides, elastic friction guides, fluid friction guides and other types. Linear bearings are mainly used in automated machinery, such as machine tools imported from Germany, bending machines, laser welding machines, etc. Of course, linear bearings and linear shafts are matched. Linear guides are mainly used in mechanical structures that require relatively high precision. There is no intermediate medium between the moving elements and fixed elements of the linear guide, but rolling steel balls.
