We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Roller Guides",
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 High-speed actuators suit varied applications from
Inmoco, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Extrak's speed greatly increases the application versatility of the actuator, allowing the fastest index times for users along stroke lengths that extend to 7.6m".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Linear motion guides keep optics on track from
THK UK: "In the demanding worlds of optical engineering and instrument manufacture, precision linear motion guides not only enhance performance, but also cut costs and reduce maintenance requirements".
In October 2006, we covered the news from SKF UK
concerning its Linear motion systems
- take a look at Cut out creep
which says: "Nick Brooker, Marketing Manager for the UK Division of Actuation and Motion Control of SKF, explains how cage creep is being eliminated from the latest linear motion systems".
Take a look also at the news release from THK UK, Roller guide range adds larger sizes,
as well as Linear slides build complete multi-axis systems from SKF UK,
and Heavy duty roller guides boast top precision from Hoerbiger-Origa.
