RADIALLY ADJUSTABLE LINEAR BEARING ASSEMBLY

摘要

A linear bearing assembly comprising first and second cylindrical members. A first race member is positioned between the first and second cylindrical members. A plurality of rolling elements are positioned between the first cylindrical member and the second cylindrical member such that the first and second cylindrical members are linearly adjustable relative to one another. An adjustment mechanism is positioned between the plurality of rolling elements and one of the cylindrical members and is adjustable to remove any radial clearance between the rolling elements and the cylindrical members. The linear bearing assembly is well-suited for use with spindle applications, such as machine tools.
