Overview

Linear motion components are responsible for the free straight-line movement of components in a specific direction. Most linear motion components translate rotational motion (provided by a motor) into straight-line motion, to move components back and forth. They are used in all types of industrial machinery and they are ideal as positioning tools as well as for high precision movement of components [1].
