In this Design Guide, the editors of Design World explain basic linear-bearing terminology and detail the most common linear-bearing types, as well general ways to quantify the performance and capabilities of linear bearings for sizing, selection, and installation.

Deep dives on crossed-roller slides, accuracy and preload, linear bushings, and ball splines are included in other Design Guide installments.
