Linear Guides

  • LM76 Ceramic Bearings

    The LM76 Ceramic Coated Bearing was the final choice for our linear bearing needs. It not only met all our requirements, but it also had a very low coefficient of friction. In addition, the toughness of the bearing maintains the tight tolerences we need throughout the life of the bearing.

  • Igus

    The Igus NK01-80 Linear Guide System was our initial choice. It met our requirements for speed, acceleration, and load capacity. It was also a simple system, preassembled for the most part, and supported along its entire length. This eliminated many of the tolerence issues we needed to address. We did end up using this system for our prototype, but our final setup uses the higher quality ceramic bearings.
