Also known as linear cages, they are components used in linear guide systems to provide support and guidance to rolling elements such as rollers or balls. They are designed to keep the rolling elements aligned and evenly spaced along the linear guide, allowing for smooth, precise movement.
They play an important role in the proper distribution of the rolling elements along the guide, avoiding contact between them and providing consistent linear movement. Furthermore, flat cages can also contribute to reducing friction and wear on rolling elements, extending the life of the system.
