Ball type linear guides use recirculating ball bearings for smooth and low-friction motion, while roller type linear guides use cylindrical rollers to handle higher loads and provide increased rigidity.
Overview:
Linear guides, also known as linear motion guides or linear rail systems, are mechanical components used to provide smooth and precise linear motion for a moving element along a predetermined path. It works in conjunction with linear bearings to support and guide the load in a straight line.
