The role of linear guide

The function of linear guide motion is to support and guide the moving parts to make reciprocating linear motion in a given direction. Depending on the nature of friction, linear motion guides can be divided into sliding friction guides, rolling friction guides, elastic friction guides, fluid friction guides and other types. Linear bearings are mainly used in automated machinery, such as machine tools imported from Germany, bending machines, laser welding machines, etc. Of course, linear bearings and linear shafts are matched. Like linear guides, they are mainly used in mechanical structures that require relatively high precision. There is no intermediate medium between the moving elements and fixed elements of the linear guide, but rolling steel balls.
