Linear Crossed Roller Slides:
Overall dimensions and characteristics are the same as ball slides, however, crossed roller
slides feature high capacity rollers and flat raceways to allow extremely smooth movement
and 6-8 times the capacity of a similarly sized ball slide. Features include positive stops and
travel range of 0.5” through 12”.

Linear Ball Bearing Slide assemblies:
High precision subminiature, easy to install and use, ball slides reduce friction between
moving parts in all types of automated equipment. Sizes range from: 0.23” high, 0.38” wide,
0.75” long, load capacity 1.5 lbs. up to 1” high, 2.62” wide, 15” long, load capacity 205 lbs.

Miniature And Subminiature Slides:
Small in size, lightweight miniature linear bearings and components feature the same high
quality materials and construction as used in the larger versions
See page 8
MINIATURE AND SUBMINIATURE PRODUCTS
Each of Tusk’s product types include a subminiature member useful in today’s increasingly small
mechanical mechanisms in modern industrial machinery and instrumentation
ECONOMICAL LINEAR SLIDES
For guiding, supporting and reducing friction in reciprocating mechanisms. Tusk ball and crossed
roller slides utilize a straight line design which allows for low friction characteristics and inexpensive
production methods resulting in an economical alternative in linear bearing design.

Recirculating Slide Guides:
Differing base and lengths allow fully supported travel of the recirculating member along the
entire length of the base rail. The SG series is interchangeable with those of other
manufacturers and available in stainless steel, sealed, and in a wide cross section type for
increased stability and greater overhung load capacity. Travel up to 30” and high load
capacities are available in this all steel series of high performance slide guides.
See page 14
UNLIMITED TRAVEL SLIDES
Unlimited travel design allows a relatively small carriage to travel the entire length of the mating rail or
shaft. The rolling elements, (balls) recirculate along on oval path entering and leaving the load zone
as the slide moves. The linear ball bearing and shaft type is available as separate components or
complete assemblies. the square rail slide guide type can be purchased with more than one carriage
on the common rail to add versatility and stability.
