Slides & Linear Motion

For slides and linear motion assemblies, ball dimensions must be considered with raceway geometry and clearance. Precision rolling-contact guides commonly evaluate chrome steel balls (BOYA supplies G10 as our primary grade, with G5 available on request; select the grade according to your drawing), while general hardware and drawer slides often evaluate low-carbon (AISI 1010/1015) or high-carbon (AISI 1085) steel balls. Include travel, load, lubrication and noise acceptance criteria in the enquiry.
