Basics of linear motion
Are you new to the field of linear motion and want to get an overview of what is meant by “linear motion“ and what characterises
Assembly of ball bushings
Assembly of ball bushings The installation of ball bushings is generally not complicated, on the contrary, it is fortunately relatively easy to carry out. There
Calculation principles (linear guides)
As with rolling bearings, certain calculation principles must also be mastered in linear motion in order not to expose the linear guides to excessive loads
Types of ball bushings
Ball bushings, which are also known as “linear ball bearings“, are an important product in linear motion. This article deals with the different variants of ball bushings and their properties but first provides you with basic information regarding their history, characteristics and design.
Guiding variants
Three different types of guiding variants are used in the area linear axis, each of which is designed for specific applications. You can choose between
Drive variants
In this article, linear axis are categorized according to their drive variants, with toothed belt drives, spindle drives, rack and pinion drives and linear motor
About linearwizard.com
We encounter linear motion every day, often unknowingly, in numerous applications: Linear guide systems are not only used in the electronics and semiconductor industry, automation technology, machine tools and packaging machines, but also – to name just a few more examples – in aircraft and automotive manufacturing or in the pioneering field of robotics.
Regardless of whether you are studying, training or working, it may be necessary to acquire expertise on this topic at any stage of your life. The knowledge platform linearwizard.com is definitely the right address for you.
