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. Way (machine tool element) - Wikipedia

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

   It facilitates precise linear motion along a given axis. A way is ground, scraped, or (less often) molded to be very flat, and ways often come in pairs to ensure a flat plane for the carriage or sliding element (slide) to move along smoothly. Ways are usually lubricated with way oil (a kind of machine oil specially made to adhere to the ways ...

4. 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.

5. X-Y table - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Y_Table

   XY tables are flat surfaces mounted on ball bearing slides or roller slides with multiple linear bases and are composed of forcers and platens. [1] The forcer glides over the platen on frictionless air bearings and moves continuously in a linear motion across the platen. To create multiple axis, linear bases are often stacked on top of one ...

6. High performance positioning system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_performance...

   A typical linear recirculating bearing rail, of a high performance positioning stage, has a stiffness on order of 100-300 N/um. Such a performance is required in semiconductor process equipment, electronics assembly lines , numerically controlled machine tools , coordinate-measuring machines , 3D Printing , pick-and-place machines , drug ...

7. Backlash (engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backlash_(engineering)

   The linear sliding axes (machine slides) of machine tools are an example application. Most machine slides for many decades, and many even today, have been simple (but accurate) cast-iron linear bearing surfaces, such as a dovetail- or box-slide, with an Acme leadscrew drive. With just a simple nut, some backlash is inevitable.
