Linear slides are also known as linear guides or linear-motion bearings. It is a bearing that allows for smooth and frictionless movement along a single axis. Moving components straight along any three-dimensional axes is common in machine tools, robotics, actuators, sensors, and other mechanical equipment. It is the force that two bodies provide on each other when they move in the opposite direction.
The load applied to the surface in contact and the surface attribute known as the coefficient of friction determines the amount of frictional force exerted. Linear ball slides have a low friction coefficient due to stainless steel ball rollers on four corrosion-resistant stainless steel needle rollers. Liner slides are made to withstand applications that need a lot of force, rigidity, and precision. The linear slides are created for several applications in various industries such as packaging, printing, aerospace, medical, packaging, etc. The rising infrastructure of the automotive and electronic industries is increasing, increasing the market.
Linear slides are designed for various applications in factory automation, medical, packaging, machine tool, semiconductor, printing, automotive assembly, aerospace, and food processing to provide high thrust along with high-precision accuracy and stiffness.
