Hello, i was wondering if anyone out there has experience with more that one of the following linear guideway manufacturers. If so who do you think makes the best in terms of life, accuracy, price etc
NSK, THK, Schneeberger, NB or any other manufacturer that you have used.
Thanks

weve had great succes with nsk, thk and nb.
they all make a fine bearing.
nsk has a "k1" seal that has performed very well on the miniature slides in dirty environments.
thk's new caged bearing technology has been a big deal. The recirculating balls dont ever touch each other around the return
making it alot quiter and giving it more lifetime hrs.
Nbs rod guide bearings have performed flawlessly for us.
