We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Linear Slide",
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 Catalogue offers 300 extra pages of products from
Ondrives/Rino Industries, which we summarised at the time by saying "Rino Industries' new precision engineered components catalogue is nearly 900 pages long".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Linear guides need no lubrication from
Igus (UK): "The DryLin W linear guide system was chosen for an updated incubator for transporting newborn babies".
In June 2007, we covered the news from Zaber Technologies
concerning its Travel T-LSR motorised linear slides
- take a look at Compact slides suit travelling
which says: "Integrated motors and controllers allow T-LSR slides and T-LS stages to be daisy chained with other Zaber products".
Take a look also at the news release from Ondrives/Rino Industries, Side-mounting slides keep balls in check,
as well as Linear slide units suit hygienic environments from Ondrives/Rino Industries,
and Linear slides feature precision design from Ondrives/Rino Industries.
