Linear ball bearings

Linear ball bearings – also known as ball bearing bushes or shaft guides – use linear motion to guide a machine element along a cylindrical shaft with as little friction as possible. In contrast to conventional ball bearings, they therefore also have axial ball recirculation.

The ball bearing bushes from norelem consist of a steel or plastic housing with raceway segments made of hardened steel. They guide the ball sets within the system and ensure unlimited travel at low guidance. Linear bearings are therefore important components for the mechanical engineering and fixture construction industries and are used in applications including automatic production machines, machine tools and rolling stock as well as in the food and medical technology sectors.
