Re: 80/20 linear motion?

Our team uses 28mm extrusion, and instead of using any form of linear bearing we have always used a special delrin slider attachment which fits into the extrusion and acts as a linear bearing (as delrin is self-lubing). the advantage of this is that there are no moving parts really like in bearing, and it gives a more solid connection the more the delrin and aluminium overlap.

please excuse lack of pics. can`t find my CAD files.
