Linear motion technology

Linear-motion components guide parts accurately along a straight path in automation, fixtures, handling equipment and CNC machinery. Solutions include profiled rails with carriages, round shafts with linear ball bushings and other guide systems.

Select by rail or shaft size, travel, mounting dimensions, load, stiffness, precision, sealing and lubrication.

Practical guide

How to choose the correct version

A suitable replacement cannot be identified by appearance alone. Compare the designation, dimensions, design and operating conditions.

What to compare before ordering

  • technical designation and manufacturer
  • dimensions, tolerances and mounting method
  • material, version and critical parameters
  • operating environment and assembly compatibility

Send a drawing or the carriage or bushing designation together with the application and load requirements.
