Are there any types of mechanisms / bearings out there that aren't circular but straight that can be used on industrial machines? Basically the same idea as the mechanism used to pull out a computer desk drawer or keyboard shelf.

Absolutely! They're called "http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...vTIEJpZCgBLvDvdoLAAAAqgQFT9D7lIA&safe=active"" and service life can be calculated the same basic way it's calculated for rotating bearings.

I've used http://www.thomsonlinear.com/website/com/eng/products/linear_guides/linear_bearings.php" (now Danaher Motion), but there are many reputable manufacturers out there.

I'd suggest going to http://www.thomasnet.com/products/linear-bearings-4111209-1.html"to find suppliers in the US.

Excellent, thanks for the reply, real helpful. Appreciate it pal!
