5 Key Differences Between Crossed Roller Linear Guides and Recirculating Ball Linear Guides
In this article, we will explore the utilization of bearings in mechanisms to ensure precise guidance and positioning in a single direction, be it linear or rotational. However, it is crucial to ensure adequate stiffness in all other directions to effectively guide the mechanism. The focus of this article is to examine the disparities between Linear…

Cross roller guides: overview, characteristics and applications
Crossed roller guides are designed for limited strokes and consist of two hardened rails with a crossed roller cage for bearing support in between. The use of rolling bearings allows for a low friction coefficient of <0.003. The rollers which are 90 degrees angled to each other, are held in place by a cage. These linear guides are suitable…
