Linear guides are used to support and guide moving parts for linear reciprocating motion, which can achieve high-precision linear motion under high load conditions, and have a higher rated load than linear bearings.

Linear guides can be divided into: roller linear guides, cylindrical linear guides, and ball linear guides, which are used to support and guide moving parts and perform reciprocating linear motion in a given direction. According to 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.

The function of the linear guide is to support and guide the moving parts to perform reciprocating linear motion in a given direction. In order to use the right type of linear guide for the right occasion, it is necessary for the design engineer to understand the advantages and capabilities of different guides, so as to make a reasonable choice.

Ball linear guide is a kind of linear guide with rolling parts as balls. It has the characteristics of strong load capacity, high precision, long service life, high rigidity and relatively high maintenance cost.

When using linear guide rails, some friends who are new to this kind of linear guide rails may find a strange phenomenon, that is, the guide rail sliders are locked, and the situation is still unclear for a while. Let me introduce the linear guide rail sliders. Six principles of locking: locking screw locking, cylinder clamping, clamper, locking slider, with self-locking function and guide rail is damaged.
