Optimizing Linear Guide Mechanisms with Linear Bushings
Optimizing Linear Guide Mechanisms with Linear Bushings Introduction to Linear Guide Mechanisms Linear guide mechanisms are mechanical devices used to support and guide linear motion along a straight path. These mechanisms are typically composed of two main components: a guide rail and a carriage assembly. The guide rail is a flat, rigid surface that directs the motion of the carriage assembly. The carriage assembly is made up of two main components: a carriage and a linear bushing. The carriage is the part that is mounted on the guide rail and contains the linear bushing which allows it to move along…
