Linear Guide
A linear guide, also known as linear motion guides or linear rail systems, are mechanical components designed to facilitate smooth and precise linear motion in machinery and systems. It consists of a rail or track and a carriage or slider that moves along the rail. The rail typically has grooves or raceways, and the carriage contains rolling elements such as balls or rollers that reduce friction and enable efficient motion. Linear guides come in various types, including ball bearing guides, roller guides, and magnetic guides, each tailored for specific applications. They are widely used in industries such as manufacturing, automation, robotics, and electronics to provide accurate and controlled linear movement. Linear guides offer benefits such as high precision, low friction, and the ability to handle heavy loads. It works with linear bearings to support and guide the load in a straight line.
