Re: extrusion of Linear Bearing pillow block question...

Hello,

Just came to my own post and find it a bit poorly written. Sorry
about that. Corrected the 2nd paragraph below: Additions in < >

Hello again,

As I posted before, many of the newer "round rail" type linear
bearings RELY on the bore of the HOUSING <they are mounted in> to
meet their specs!

The load is transfered <from the round rail, by the balls> to the
<load bearing> steel plates, which are held in POSITION by the
plastic housing <of the linear bearing itself>.
These steel plates in turn, bear upon the <walls of the> housing <the
linear bearing is placed into>. On Thomsons' super smart series,
these <steel> plates are "rounded" to allow for misalignment(s). The
down side is that this means EVEN MORE of the force is concentrated
on EVEN LESS area of the <bored hole of the> housing, making its'
precision/hardness even more important.
