Instruments and Systems: Monitoring, Control, and Diagnostics Annotation << Back Justification of the selection of guides for automated test equipment P.A. AKULOV, D.I. PETRESHIN The types of linear guides are reviewed. The main factors affecting the frictional force in linear bearings during displacement are considered. The structure of the test bench for the experimental determination of the frictional force in linear guides is described. The analysis of the received data is made, the recommendations on a choice of linear directing for system of precision determination of force are given. Keywords: friction force; linear guides; bearing; strain gage sensor; test machine. DOI: 10.25791/pribor.03.2019.501 Contacts: E-mail: Akulov.Paul@mail.ru Pp. 01-10.
