We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Linear Bearing",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Automation saves Eur45,000 at coating factories from
Schaeffler (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "Collini Wien of Austria is making savings of around Eur15,000 euros per year after installing FAG Motion Guard Champion automatic lubricators from FAG Industrial Services".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Wall planner helps manage maintenance from
RS Components UK: "RS Components' 2008 Maintenance Solutions Wall Planner provides a reference source for those involved in the specifying, integration and use of process control and automation equipment".
In October 2007, we covered the news from LG Motion
concerning its Monorail BM recirculating ball guideway
- take a look at Guideway provides quiet operation
which says: "Monorail BM can provide load support for direct-drive linear motor or servo-driven ballscrews, where accuracy, stability and precise velocity control are application requirements".
Take a look also at the news release from Micromech, Ceramic bearings provide long life,
as well as Aluminium assembly offers reduced weight from Euro-Bearings,
and Guides provide precise linear motion from Micromech.
