The linear guide and the linear slide are both spare parts in the machine, which accept a certain load and complete the movement of this accuracy under high load conditions. But the linear guide and the linear slide are not the same before, and there are still different centers.
Linear guide rails and linear slide rails are a kind of linear sliding installation. Linear guide rails are a general term for many kinds of guides. Linear guide rails can also be called linear rails, linear slide rails, and dual-axis guide rails. Linear slide rails are a kind of linear guide rails. Linear guide rails can be divided into sliding guide rails and rolling guide rails. Sliding guide rails are in direct contact with guide rails and sliders, low price, low accuracy and high friction coefficient.
The rolling guide is equipped with a rolling element (roller or ball) between the guide and the slider. The rolling guide has a more complicated structure, a relatively high price, a small friction coefficient and high accuracy. All linear driving as a guided sliding track can be collectively referred to as linear guides, such as biaxial guides, linear slides, and rolling guides. These are all varieties of linear guides.
