What is a crossed roller slide?

September 24, 2015 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 […]
