NB Precision Linear Motion Products

Features and Benefits

1) Low Friction and Excellent Response

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.
 

2) High Precision and Smooth Movement

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.
 

3) High Load Capacity and Long Travel Life

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.
 

4) Ease of Installation

The NB linear system shortens machining and assembly time when compared with that of a full face surface sliding bearing system.
 

5) Variety of Models

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.
