Linear Bearings For CNC
Doors and auxiliary axes on machine tools need different linear motion components than spindles.
Doors, in particular, are an axis that are often designed with less-than-ideal motion components. From an accuracy standpoint, door motion may seem like an open and shut case, but they do present some challenging design issues of their own. They tend to be large sheet-metal structures that are subject to deflection and alignment problems. They also have to work reliably in a contamination-prone environment filled with metal chips and cutting fluids.

Linear Motion Solutions For Trouble-Free Palletizing
Lubed-for-life bearings that eliminate misalignment problems keep palletizers up and running.
With their round-the-clock operating schedules and demanding uptime requirements, the palletizing systems used in packaging plants can challenge the reliability of even the best linear motion components. Linear bearings are no exception, especially when inadequate lubrication or alignment problems cause premature wear.

Medical Moves
Linear bearings play a crucial, yet under-appreciated role, in medical imaging systems.
Usually, the bearings are used to guide and support the motorized beds that position patients under the system’s scanning elements, though they are sometimes used for auxiliary motion axes, too.

Smooth Motion For Laser Glass Engraving
A two-rail linear motion system improves alignment and contamination resistance while lowering installed cost.
The top guide system in this design uses a Rollon T Series Rail to support the bulk of the engraving head’s axial loads from above. The bottom bearing uses a Rollon U Series Rail to help guide the head precisely while supporting the head’s moment loads. The lower rail also prevents the head from swinging under the influence of any vibration or inertia effects.
