Linear bearings are used in applications where a component needs to be moved along a straight line with high accuracy

Linear guides and rails provide a smooth, precision, guiding surface on which the rolling element of a linear bearing rides

Linear slides are simple linear motion devices composed of a stationary base and a moving carriage. Linear stages are slides with a drive mechanism that provide controlled, precise positioning along a linear axis

Electric linear actuators have an output rod that provides linear motion via a motor driven ball screw, lead screw, or ACME screw assembly. The actuator's load is attached to the end of a screw or rod and is often unsupported

Bearing retainers or bearing cages are used in rotary and linear bearings to separate and maintain a specified distance between rolling elements, whether they are balls, needle rollers, or rollers

Plastic bearings are used in wet and corrosive environments, clean environments, areas that are difficult to lubricate, and applications that require non-magnetic bearings

Air bearings use a thin film of pressurized air to support a load. They do not generate friction

Pillow block bearings are mounted bearings that are used to provide load support for a rotating shaft’s axis. 

Flange mounted bearings are used when a shaft axis is perpendicular to the bearing mounting surface. They are available in 2, 3, or 4-hole configurations

Plain bearings and sleeve bearings (also referred to as bushings or journal bearings) are used to constrain, guide or reduce friction in rotary or linear applications. They function via a sliding action

Magnetic bearings use an electromagnet to provide noncontacting, friction-free motion in rotary applications

Shock absorbers, linear dampers, and dashpots provide motion damping in linear applications. They frequently incorporate fluid dampening, and can include mechanical or elastomeric elements

Ball slides are simple linear motion devices that provide smooth linear motion, accurately controlled by the rotation of the drive mechanism. 

Linear thrusters use double-acting pneumatic, hydraulic, or electrohydraulic cylinders mated to plates and shafts to provide cyclical linear motion. They are used in conveying, positioning and inspection systems

Linear shafts are elongated, rod-shaped devices that provide linear or rotary motion for power transmission applications
