High-Precision Linear Slides for Smooth and Reliable Movement
The global linear slides market size was estimated at USD 2.73 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2024 to 2030. The expansion of the global market for linear slides is propelled by the growth in infrastructure within the electronics and automotive domains, along with a growing need for automated industrial material handling. Tailored for high-demand scenarios needing precision, rigidity, and strength, these slides find usage across diverse sectors, including aerospace, medical, and printing. Linear slides, also referred to as linear-motion bearings or linear guides, facilitate fluid, no-resistance movement on a singular axis. These devices enable straight movement across three-dimensional axes in various applications, including robotics, actuators, sensors, and machine tools. The exerted frictional force is influenced by the contact surface's load and its coefficient of friction. Liquid ball slides exhibit a notably low friction coeff...
