How to Avoid Premature Linear Bearing Failure

June 24, 2022
This white paper outlines the common threats linear motion devices can face and tips to help you get the most from your guide.

When implementing a linear guide or actuator into a system, you will likely have high expectations for how well the linear components will perform and how long they will last. Meeting those expectations requires careful product selection and preventative measures against various threats. Neglecting these threats can result in crashes or premature failures that cost production time and money. This article will describe the common threats linear motion devices face and tips to help you get the most from your guide.
