DIN ISO 10285:2018-06

This International Standard specifies the boundary dimensions, tolerances and definitions for sleeve type linear motion ball bearing. Linear motion rolling bearings provide for linear motion as opposed to rotational motion. The sleeve type linear ball bearing described in this International Standard uses balls which circulate in a number of closed loops in the cylindical bearing that surrounds the shaft. Linear ball bearings are typically applied to meet one or more of the following criteria: a) smooth low-friction motion, free from stick-slip or chatter b) low force required to produce relative linear motion between the bearing and the shaft. These requirements, as well as others, can be met by appropriate use of the various linear motion rolling bearing types (closed sleeve type, adjustable sleeve type and open sleeve type).
