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 and to prevent failures, a shortened service life and as well the oversizing of linear guides. It is therefore essential, for example, to calculate the service life of linear guides. […]
