Linear guide mechanisms (linear motion systems) are used to move or position objects along a straight line with precision. Their main functions are split between guiding and driving elements. In particular, they refer to a system made up of machine elements that utilize rolling technology to move objects accurately in a straight line. The linear guide is one machine component that can be used for the guiding element.
Some of the many other possibilities include ball splines, linear bushings, slide rails, and cross-roller guides.
These components are combined in the mechanism design to achieve the precision, speed, and load requirements for the application. These mechanisms were developed around machine tools in particular, and they have been adopted for use in other types of industrial machinery as well as linear motion parts in consumer fields. "Linear motion system” is a registered trademark of ITC We also provide a lineup of machine elements that utilize the linear motion system to enable other types of motion such as arcs, or to combine linear and curved motion. ​ ​

The linear rail is the stationary component of a linear guide system. The block travels along the fixed rail, providing smooth motion along an X and/or Y axis. Linear rails can be mounted either horizontally or vertically. The length of the rail will determine the distance the block can travel. Rails can be butt-jointed together to increase overall length. The rail pitch is determined by the distance between the center of each hole along the rail. Linear rails are typically made of carbon steel or stainless steel.
