Inexpensive linear guide realized through
an unprecedented manufacturing process

New Type of Rolling Element Linear Motion Bearing—TranslideTM

Translide™, a new type of rolling element linear motion bearing, is well suited to transportation
equipment; for example, manufacturing lines of automobiles, automobile parts, and the like. It
defies all traditional understanding within the industry in every aspect, and is surely a landmark
in the progress of linear motion bearing technology.
