Abstract

This chapter introduces the design of linear feed drive systems used in machine tools. The key factors to improve the precision of linear motion are summarized, and the design principle of the precision linear drives is given. The types of the linear motion guides and the drive systems commonly used in machine tools are described. Finally, a typical case on the design of hydrostatic slide is presented.
