5. What are the differences between plain and rolling linear guides?
A linear guide (or linear bearing) is a mechanical element that allows relative motion between two surfaces, with one surface supporting the other, and minimum friction between the two. There are two basic types of linear guides: plain and rolling element. While their general function is the same, their design and performance differ significantly.
This article compares the construction, operating principle, and benefits of plain and rolling element guides.
