Linear Bearings

These specialty bearings slide axially along a round shaft or tube’s length in order to achieve simple linear motion. Use a set of linear bearings to replace complex radial bearing stack setups and build sliding mechanisms with the strength and rigidity of FRC linear elevators for a fraction of the complexity!

While our linear bearings work with any shaft or tube material, we recommend thin-wall steel in heavy-use subsystems to decrease wear on the shaft while still maintaining strength and keeping weight low. Alternatively, having replacement shafts or tubes prepared for heavy-use subsystems utilizing linear bearings helps alleviate this problem.
