What is a crossed roller slide?

★ By Danielle Collins 1 Comment

crossed roller slide

As their name suggests, crossed roller slides (also referred to as crossed roller bearings) are linear bearings that use cylindrical rollers—as opposed to balls—to carry a load. The rollers ride between parallel guides in which v-shaped grooves have been ground. The term “crossed” refers to the fact that the rollers are arranged in a crisscross […]

Linear motion tips for food and beverage applications

★ By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

Machine wash down

It’s not hard to understand why applications in the food and beverage industry are especially challenging for linear motion systems. Food processing and packaging equipment must simultaneously meet high throughput requirements and withstand harsh environments, while safely handling and processing products which are at constant risk for spoilage or dangerous contamination caused by environmental factors or improper handling. Add to this […]
