eBook: Master Linear Bearing Specs for Extreme Loads & Long Service Life

Maximizing load capacity, speed and reliability in demanding linear motion applications.
Feb. 16, 2026

Bearings do some of the heavy lifting in linear motion systems. Rather than defaulting to familiar choices by picking a size from a catalogue, engineers are weighing important specs and criteria such as load paths, rigidity, misalignment tolerance and installation realities to squeeze out more performance. They’re also evaluating new architectures and materials that make machines lighter and faster without compromising durability and exploring self aligning solutions to mitigate the impact of nonideal mounting conditions common on the shop floor. If you are thinking about your next system upgrade, this eBook brings together engineer-friendly guidance on when newer bearing solutions are the right fit, what tradeoffs to consider and clear examples of how next-gen solutions can simplify assemblies, while boosting uptime.   aligning solutions to mitigate the impact of non ideal mounting conditions common on the shop floor.
