Linear rolling bearings

Linear rolling bearings are available as monorail guidance systems, track roller guidance systems, shaft guidance systems with linear ball bearings, flat cage guidance systems, guidance systems with linear recirculating roller or ball bearing units and as driven units (actuators and tables). Furthermore, INA also manufactures special miniature guidance systems for small design envelopes such as those in mechatronics and precision engineering. These very compact elements with very high load capacity, low friction and high rigidity are available as cage or recirculating systems. Due to their compact design, they can often replace solutions requiring significantly greater space.

Linear plain bearings

While in rolling bearing arrangements the bearing elements are separated by rolling parts (the rolling elements), in plain guidance systems the movable component slides on a static guideway or shaft. Depending on the type of guidance system, the sliding layer is applied to the movable or the rigid component. Lubrication is carried out by means of lubricants embedded in the sliding layer.
