Linear Bearings for 3D Systems

Linear bearings are used in applications where a component needs to be moved along a straight line. The object may also need to be returned to its original position with a high degree of repeatability. Linear bearings come in a variety of styles and have wide load capacities. A Linear Ball Bushing is similar to a traditional bushing but has rows of balls to reduce friction and increase smoothness. Linear bearings are used on transportation equipment, 3D printers, automation equipment, food processing equipment, semiconductor manufacturing equipment and other systems that require smooth, precise motion.
