Slide ways feature stable motion at high to low speeds

April 29, 2021 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

linear slide ways

NB Slide Ways are non-recirculating linear motion bearings used primarily in optical and measurement equipment where high precision movement is required. The SV style consists of 2 roller cages with precision rollers in a cross arrangement and four rails with V-shaped raceways. The SVW has one rail with V-shaped grooves on both sides and 2 […]

Precise miniature slide guides from NB Corporation

January 4, 2021 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

slide guides

SEBS-B type slide guides from NB Corporation feature standard radial clearances that are twice as accurate. The guides are available in both retained-ball (whose elements allow for easier handling because the guide block may be removed from rail without ball loss) or low-cost non-retained ball lines. Available sizes are from 2 mm with friction-free travels […]

Linear guides with more rollers feature high load capacities

June 2, 2020 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

linear guides

NB Corporation’s EXRAIL linear guide has more rollers in less space than other linear bearings, which increases load capacity and disperses the load more evenly. It has longer rollers for greater contact surface and less contact pressure. In comparison to presently available linear guides, the EXRAIL slide guide provides smoother movement. It uses multiple small […]

New high load capacity BG actuator from NB

April 4, 2018 By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

NB Corporation presents a compact, single axis actuator with a unique “U” shaped integrated slide guide and ball screw. The BG actuator’s highly rigid structure may be one-end supported, and the four ball circuits contained in its slide block deliver high load capacity, accuracy, and rigidity. To accommodate a wide range of installations and applications, these […]

Flange bushings eliminates bulky housings (and deliver smooth linear motion)

November 17, 2016 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

NB’s Flange Linear Ball Bushing line offers the best of both worlds … the benefits of a slide bush with the mounting ease of a flange. When an application calls for ease of assembly, select a completely integrated system. Choose from single, doublewide, or center mount configurations. Flange types are available in inch, Asian or European […]

Top ballscrew trends: More capacity and miniaturization

March 2, 2015 By Lisa Eitel 1 Comment

NB High-speed-ball-screw

Ballscrews are a mainstay in motion applications, partly because their performance is so predictable, and they’re relatively easy to design into machinery. Over the last few years, advances in manufacturing and materials have improved ballscrew performance so OEMs today can get better linear motion with them at lower cost. For starters, the latest generation of […]
