  2. 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.

  3. Bearing (mechanical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_(mechanical)

    A ball bearing. A bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion to only the desired motion and reduces friction between moving parts.The design of the bearing may, for example, provide for free linear movement of the moving part or for free rotation around a fixed axis; or, it may prevent a motion by controlling the vectors of normal forces that bear on the moving parts.

  4. 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.

  5. Plain bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_bearing

    The simplest example of a plain bearing is a shaft rotating in a hole. 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.

  6. Linear stage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_stage

    Zaber motorized linear stage. A linear stage or translation stage is a component of a precise motion system used to restrict an object to a single axis of motion. The term linear slide is often used interchangeably with "linear stage", though technically "linear slide" refers to a linear motion bearing, which is only a component of a linear stage.

  7. Ball screw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_screw

    A ball screw (or ballscrew) is a mechanical linear actuator that translates rotational motion to linear motion with little friction. A threaded shaft provides a helical raceway for ball bearings which act as a precision screw. As well as being able to apply or withstand high thrust loads, they can do so with minimum internal friction.
