In the early days of 3D printers, most builds used smooth rods and bearings that rode on them. But these days, printers are shipping with either V-slot extrusions with Delrin wheels or linear rails.

I have bought some linear rails to make something. The need was for two 150mm MGN7 (7mm wide) rails and four trucks, and it transpired that buying five rails+trucks was the cheapest way to do this as ...

Here’s an interesting experiment that attempts to measure the quality of a linear rail by using a form of visual odometry, accomplished by mounting a camera on the rail and analyzing the video with ...

Telescopic sliding systems are one of those quietly brilliant engineering solutions that often go unnoticed and unappreciated ...

Adding linear rails to a length of aluminium extrusion is a common way to make a fairly rigid guiding structure, and I have been doing just that in the workshop. But things were not working quite ...

Redesigned for use with overweight patients, an imaging table required rails with a high load capacity and extended stroke. A line of rails offered by a linear motion ...

Three new sizes of BGS linear rail systems for brushless linear DC motors (BLDCs) were added to the Haydon-Kerk 24-Hour Express Store. The single- or double-stacked BGS04, BGS06, and BGS08 linear ...

The BGS04 linear-rail system handles high moment loads. Its roll, pitch, and yaw-moment load capability lets it maintain tight accuracy and repeatability, even for applications requiring cantilevered ...

LG Motion has been offering a quick turnaround service on cut-to-length rails. The service covers Monorail sizes 15, 20, 25, 30 and precision linear rails with various carriage types and accessories.
