2. Roller screw - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roller_screw

   Timothy A. Erhart was awarded a US patent in 1996 for a linear actuator effectively incorporating an inverted bearing ring roller screw. [9] The screw shaft is grooved the length of and to match the grooved rollers, which travel with the shaft. The bearing ring is elongated and internally threaded for the length of screw shaft travel.

3. Linear-motion bearing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear-motion_bearing

   A linear-motion bearing or linear slide is a bearing designed to provide free motion in one direction. There are many different types of linear motion bearings. Motorized linear slides such as machine slides, X-Y tables , roller tables and some dovetail slides are bearings moved by drive mechanisms.

4. Rolamite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolamite

   The Rolamite bearing has very little friction. A Rolamite is a technology for very low friction bearings developed by Sandia National Laboratories in the 1960s. [1] It consists of two cylindrical rollers held captive in a channel by an S-shaped metal strip. The strip is under tension, which keeps the rollers pressed together with the strip ...

5. Air bearing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_bearing

   Thus, the durability of air bearings is unlimited if they are designed and calculated correctly. Roller bearings and friction bearings have a high degree of friction when used at high speed or acceleration, causing a positive feedback loop where high abrasion decreases precision, which in turn causes greater wear, leading to their eventual failure.

6. Way (machine tool element) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Way_(machine_tool_element)

   The geometry of the way can vary depending on the situation. The most common types are flat, vee, and dovetail ways. Flat ways are used when there is little requirement for the slide to be constrained perpendicular to the axis of movement, or the constraint is being provided by another component or otherwise not needed, such as on the carriage of a lathe.

7. Plain bearing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_bearing

   A simple linear bearing can be a pair of flat surfaces designed to allow motion; e.g., a drawer and the slides it rests on [3] or the ways on the bed of a lathe. Plain bearings, in general, are the least expensive type of bearing. They are also compact and lightweight, and they have a high load-carrying capacity. [4]
