There are two broad types of linear motion bearings: rolling element linear bearings and plain linear bearings. These components are found in any equipment that needs precision-controlled motion across a single axis in an X-Y plane, including consumer goods and industrial equipment. At Emerson Bearings, we can provide high-performance linear motion bearings that can fit any equipment assembly with reliable mounting equipment and long-lasting components.

The accurate diagnosis of a bearing failure is imperativeto prevent repeated failures and their additional expenses.This comprehensive guide to bearing failures outlines themany ways bearings can and do fail.

Our linear motion bearings are high-precision and highly accurate constructions. They offer some of the lowest values of friction on the market. We provide open-type constructions for fully supported ball bushings and closed-type bushings with end-supported constructions. Both our ball guides and linear guides have high load capacities due to superior construction and cutting-edge product development.

At Emerson Bearing, we can help you choose the right motion bearing for the job. Some of the factors to consider include:

LinearGuide Rail

Plain bearings can reduce friction and ensure smooth contact between two surfaces. These parts are very simple to use, with simple construction and, as a result, a low production cost. They can handle a large load due to the increased contact surface area, and they can also handle shock and vibrations better than other linear bearings.

Linear roller bearings have balls or rollers in the guide rails, which act as the smooth rolling element to control motion. The rolling elements sit within the housing, and they may be either recirculating or non-recirculating rolling elements. The bearing roller can be large or small, depending on the linear speed the guide demands, and rolling linear bearings are one of the most common solutions for linear motion. Each unit can be customized to have the size and contact angle needed for the assembly’s loading capacity and motion requirements. Small changes in the contact angle will determine the radial loading capacity with a directly proportional relationship; the angle is inversely proportional to the lateral loading capacity. For example, a rolling linear bearing with a 45° contact angle is ideal for general movement, as it can minimize friction when loads are moving radially, reverse radially, and laterally.

“Laser Photonics’ equipment has worked out very well for us, and we have developed a valuable relationship with the company.”

Linear motion bearings can support motion across a single linear axis. It ensures a low-friction surface for guide rails on carriages, allowing precise movement with minimal wear and friction. Our linear motion bearings are assembled with precision rolling elements to reduce friction and ensure smooth, precise operations in any system with a guiding rail, ranging from compact 3D printers and robotics systems to sliding doors and machining equipment.
