Linear rails are a great tool to help us be more efficient and reduce the physical labor that we need to do. Linear rails can typically handle over one ton of weight. They work best in cases where there is very little friction, even on tracks with two parallel twin rails. Linear rail comes in many different sizes so it has an innumerable amount of uses based on how long it is, what type of material they choose and their weight capacity. Some common applications for linear rails include: Factory assembly lines or areas that would otherwise require people or animals to constantly push heavy objects such as food processing plants and paper mills. A company may also utilize their linear rail system as an automated storage and retrieval system
