When your application requires the use of a linear guide, LinMot offers several strategic options.  Linear guides are commonly used as load bearings, to resist side loading and to support cantilevered loads. They are also used as an anti-rotation device. LinMot linear guides provide high-precision guidance and allow dynamic and precise positioning of loads. They are mechanically compatible with standard pneumatic guides, making them an ideal replacement for air cylinders when you need higher speeds, longer life and complete control during movement.  The T-slot design of LinMot linear guides allows for easy additions, such as mechanical brakes and load balancing MagSprings for use in vertical applications.

LinMot linear guides are available with either linear ball bearings or sintered bronze bushings. Ball Bearing linear guides are recommended for standard applications under normal environmental conditions and ensure nearly frictionless operation. Linear guides with bronze bushings are recommended in dirty, damp, or wet environments and in highly dynamic applications with accelerations over 50m/sec.
