Linear Bearing
Linear bearings are engineered to provide precise motion and support for linear movement applications. Unlike conventional rotary bearings, linear bearings allow smooth, friction-free movement along a shaft or rail, providing high-performance support for linear motion systems. These bearings are used in various industries where exact linear motion is critical, such as in automation systems, robotics, CNC machinery, medical equipment, and precision instruments. By reducing friction, linear bearings improve the efficiency, speed, and accuracy of motion in mechanical systems.
