📌 What is a Linear Guide?
A Linear Guide is a mechanical component that enables objects or machine parts to move smoothly and precisely in a straight line while minimizing friction and increasing motion stability. It is widely used in machinery, automation systems, and CNC machines.

📌 Functions of a Linear Guide
✅ Guides Linear Motion – Ensures precise straight-line movement of machine components.
✅ Supports Load and Pressure – Distributes load forces and reduces impact.
✅ Reduces Friction – Uses ball bearings or rollers to decrease wear and extend lifespan.
✅ Enhances Accuracy and Speed – Minimizes vibrations for smooth machine operation.

📌 Components of a Linear Guide
🔹 Rail – The track along which the carriage moves.
🔹 Carriage/Block – Mounted on the machine part, moving along the rail.
🔹 Ball Bearings or Rollers – Reduce friction and facilitate smooth motion.

📌 Types of Linear Guides
🔹 Ball Bearing Linear Guide – Uses ball bearings for low friction and high precision.
🔹 Roller Linear Guide – Uses rollers for high load capacity, suitable for heavy machinery.
🔹 Slide Bearing Linear Guide – Uses slide plates instead of ball bearings, providing durability and robustness.

📌 Applications of Linear Guides
🔹 CNC Machines – Ensures precise control of cutting tools.
🔹 Industrial Robotic Arms – Enables smooth and accurate movement.
🔹 Automation Systems – Used in 3D printers and robotic equipment.
🔹 Heavy Machinery – Supports high-load applications in production lines.
