Ball and Crossed Roller Linear Tables from Automotion
Ball and crossed roller tables are low profile, high precision tables that help support and guide in a linear fashion with high accuracy, high repeatability and low friction. Crossed roller tables take higher loads than ball bearing tables when comparing like for like sized tables.
As specialists in linear motion systems we offer you a choice of materials and sizes. So whether you need lightweight aluminium rails for use in aviation applications or stainless steel components for when exposure to water or corrosive chemicals is a factor, our knowledgable technical engineers are always on hand to provide assistance.
Make sure you download your Linear Motion Handbook here and utilise our free CAD to help you save time planning your projects.

Factors affecting stage selections...
- Size and weight of load
- Moment loads
- Stroke required
- Accuracy required
- Usage conditions of water, chemicals, shock loads etc.
Generally ball slides are less expensive but cross roller slides can carry 8 to 10 times the load of ball slides.
The stroke is centred on the mid point of the slides (i.e. 50% of the stroke each way).
