Linear Bearing Unit,Shaft Support,Linear Bearing-What is Linear-motion bearing?

A linear-motion bearing or linear slide is a bearing designed to provide free motion in one dimension. There are many different types linear bearing unit of linear motion bearings and this family of products is generally broken down into shaft support two sub-categories: rolling-element and plane.



Motorized linear slides such as machine slides, XY tables, roller tables and some linear bearing dovetail slides are bearings moved by drive mechanisms. Not all linear slides are motorized, and non-motorized dovetail slides, ball bearing slides and roller slides provide low-friction linear movement for equipment powered by inertia or by hand. All linear slides provide linear motion based on bearings, whether they are ball bearings, dovetail bearings or linear roller bearings. XY Tables, linear stages, machine slides and other advanced slides use linear motion bearings to provide movement along both X and Y multiple axis.
