ball bearing slide

Deep groove ball bearing with seals or shields

Single row deep groove ball bearings with seals or shields are particularly versatile, have low friction and are optimized for low noise and low vibration, which enables high rotational speeds. They accommodate radial and axial loads in both directions, are easy to mount, and require less maintenance than many other bearing types. The integral sealing can significantly prolong bearing service life because it keeps lubricant in the bearings and contaminants out.Integral sea

A ball bearing slide, also known as a linear slide or drawer runner, is a type of positioning component that allows for smooth and accurate movement in a linear direction. Here's a detailed introduction to ball bearing slides:

1. Functionality:

• Ball bearing slides consist of a stationary base and a mobile carriage that rides on top. They provide low friction sliding motion between the base and the carriage, enabling smooth and precise linear movement .

2. Design and Construction:

• These slides feature two rows of hardened steel balls on both sides of the base, which facilitate the smooth motion. The ball bearings are controlled by a ball retainer that holds them in place and allows the members of the slide to move relative to each other .

3. Types of Ball Bearing Slides:

• There are different types of ball bearing slides, including linear slides and telescopic slides. Linear slides offer two-way travel, while telescopic slides can extend beyond the length of the slide itself .

• Some slides are designed for partial extension (like 75% extension), while others allow for full extension or over-travel (100%+) .

4. Applications:

• Ball bearing slides are used in a variety of applications, such as delicate instrumentation, high cycle applications, and clean room environments. They are also found in commercial safes and other heavy-duty applications where reliable performance is required .

5. Load Ratings:

• The load ratings for ball bearing slides can range from a minimum of 60 pounds (27.22 kg) to a maximum of 700 pounds (317.51 kg) .

6. Features:

• Ball bearing slides are known for their quick and easy installation, low push-pull force, and quiet, smooth operation, which is ideal for frequent cycling .

• Some models include a patented safety feature like the Green Button®, which is a lock-out mechanism designed to protect against pinched fingers .

7. Maintenance:

• Ball bearing slides require minimal maintenance, and no tools are needed for the maintenance of the slide’s motor .

8. Customization and Integration:

• Ball bearing slides can be customized to fit specific applications, including the type of slide, load rating, slide length and extension, finish, and locking options .

• They are also designed to integrate seamlessly into automated systems, such as mobile medical carts, pharmaceutical dispensing equipment, automotive interiors, and robotics .

9. Safety and Electronic Features:

• Some slides come with features like electronic and mechanical synchronization to ensure simultaneous slide travel, multiple opening possibilities (fingerprint, optical, keycard, and keypad), and a plug-and-play feature for easy installation .

10. Size and Design:

• Ball bearing slides are available in compact sizes, allowing for easy integration without compromising on the application’s design .

Ball bearing slides are an essential component in many industries where smooth, reliable, and precise linear motion is required. Their versatility and durability make them a popular choice for a wide range of applications.
