Unlike conventional ball or roller-based linear guides, hydrostatic guidance systems eliminate all metal-to-metal contact. The guide carriages move on a thin cushion of high-pressure fluid, which ...

Linear guides are precision mechanical assemblies that operate as part of a system. As such, they can only perform to the degree that they are properly integrated into the overall machine. Merely ...

This article will examine several examples of how to select the appropriate linear bushing for the application. Impact on performance from material and surface treatments will be discussed.
