Bearing for optic travel
(OP)
Could anyone recommend a good bearing manufacturer for tight tolerance applications? I have a metal optic holder(CAD drawing picture provided) holding an optic. I would like to use some linear ball bearing to slide this metal optic holder on rails that would eliminate almost any "wobble" down to the micron level. Is there a manufacturer that comes to mind that offers a tolerance this tight? Say bearing size is about 1/3" or so, optic is 1" diameter.

I would give Steinmeyer a call with your exact requirements.

Also drew a possible V design, but I'm leaning more towards the opposite force design...

You can make nice long sliders on v-flat ways, and put a little grease on them, or make them of dissimilar materials if grease is not allowed.

Have you ordered from them before? Are the tolerances/precision high enough for optic use?

Pretty pricey, though I suppose you have to pay to get precision parts. They quoted me at $91.10 with a minimum purchase of 10. Do you guys have any other recommendations? I'd like to try a few other places to see if I can get price down a bit.
