How It Works

Bearings pressed into each end of the arm pivot on fixed mounting bolts, allowing the connected platform to glide forward and back in a controlled arc — with minimal friction and noise.

Why Bearing Type Matters

PTFE-lined bearings offer self-lubrication for quiet, maintenance-free operation. Metal-to-metal bearings support higher loads. Nylon inserts reduce noise in furniture applications.

OEM vs. Standard

Standard catalog arms cover most furniture dimensions. OEM-custom arms allow modified hole patterns, arm geometry, material, and surface finish — supplied to your drawing.

What Is a Glider Bearing Arm?

glider bearing arm is a structural linkage component used in gliding furniture mechanisms and industrial motion systems, enabling smooth oscillating or sliding movement with significantly reduced friction. The arm connects the stationary base to the moving seat or platform via precision bearings pressed into mounting holes at each end — allowing controlled, repetitive motion under sustained loads. Key design variables include arm length, hole center distance, bending angle, plate thickness, and bearing type.
