Various takes on maintenance-free linear guides have been around for years, but not all of them are created equal. Some focus on achieving the longest possible maintenance-free intervals. Others focus on adding as little as possible to the size of the bearing's mechanical package. The C-Lube linear guides have a unique design that balances both of these key objectives. This white paper offers a more detailed overview … [More]
