This article will examine several examples of how to select the appropriate linear bushing for the application. Impact on performance from material and surface treatments will be discussed.

Design refinements boost performance of self-aligning ball bushing while maintaining their error-correcting nature.

Back in the 1980s, Pacific Bearing Co. (PBC) invented and commercialized plain bearings, which were sized to be interchangeable with linear ball bearings. Plain bearings worked very well in certain ...
