The NB linear system is a linear motion mechanism which utilizes the recirculating movement of ball or roller elements to provide smooth and accurate linear travel. NB offers a wide range of linear motion products that may contribute to the size and weight reduction of machinery and other equipment, while providing dependable performance in high-
precision equipment. Low Friction and Excellent Response:
ADVANTAGES
High Load Capacity and Long Travel Life:
The dynamic friction of rolling ball or roller elements is substantially lower than that of full-face surface sliding friction. Since the difference between rolling dynamic and static friction is small, motion response is excellent and results in superior dependable movement. This also allows for easy fabrication of mechanisms requiring precise positioning or high-
speed acceleration. Although the NB linear system is designed to be compact, the use of large rolling elements and machined raceway surface results in high load capacity and long travel life. >
Ease of Installation:
The NB linear system shortens machining and assembly time when compared with that of a full face surface sliding
bearing system. >
High Precision and Smooth Movement: Variety of Models:
The NB linear system is designed for smooth rolling movements. The rolling element's raceway contact surface is finished through high-precision grinding. The recirculating movement of the rolling elements allow for continuous high-precision
linear movement without clearance. A wide variety of models and types of NB systems are available for just about any shape or material option. This permits the selection of the best appropriate linear component for any application. Eng-1 >
