A linear guide is a two part system including a linear rail with a linear bearing block. Multiple bearing blocks can be put on the linear rail to support more weight.
A linear guide block contains stainless steel balls that recirculate within the block. The block end cap continuously takes the force of the recirculating balls, evenly distributing the force in the linear guide.
