Cross Roller Linear Slide Guides - NB Slide Way

NB SLIDE WAY cross roller guides use precision rollers to provide stable, non-recirculating linear motions in equipment such as optical and measuring equipment. NB SLIDE WAY cross roller bearings are suitable for both high-speed and low-speed applications. You can count on them to provide minute motions with exceptional stability and low noise. A perfect solution for medical slide guide needs.

Benefits and Features At-a-Glance

At the heart of all NB cross roller bearings is the STUDROLLER® mechanism. The STUDROLLER® system eliminates the cage-creep phenomenon that, over time, can create deviances in cross roller retainer performance. Benefits of this innovative system include:

• Anti cage-creep mechanism
• An up to 58-percent increase in the length of contact between roller and transfer surfaces
• Quieter operation and smoother movement compared to ball circulation guide systems
• Up to 53-percent increase in the number of effective rollers, resulting in load ratings up to 2.3 times higher than conventional sliding bearings
• More accurate linear movements and better performance with minute motions
• Less disparity between static and dynamic frictional resistances
• More stable motion at both high and low speeds

We engineered NB cross roller guides equipped with the STUDROLLER® system from the ground up to be more accurate and better performing than any other product on the market today. Like all of our products, you’ll find NB crossed roller sliding bearing systems being used in some of the most demanding applications and sophisticated equipment in a wide range of industries.
