How Seals Extend the Life of Linear Systems

★ By Danielle Collins 7 Comments

When selecting a linear system – ball screw, linear guide, or actuator – most of the focus is on application data such as load, speed, travel, and duty cycle. But there’s another factor that should be considered, especially for technically demanding applications or harsh environments. That factor is sealing. How are the bearings protected against […]

New Whispah™ Linear Slide from LM76

★ By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

E. Longmeadow, Mass. – The new Whispah™ Linear Slide from LM76 is a low-cost, quiet linear slide designed to use the properties of LM76’s Minute Man Linear Bearings series such as low friction, high load capacity, high speed (400 sfm), shock absorption, self lubrication, zero absorption, and low coefficient of friction (0.09 to 0.12). The […]
