I am wanting to have a rectangular base plate move on two parallel linear rails. The base plate will have a linear bearing in each corner. The plate will be driven from the center.
My question: Is there a common (rule-of thumb)ratio of the width Vs. length for a bearing arrangment like this?
I am concerned that if the bearings are too close together and the distant between the rails is excessive, the base plate will tend to "Bind" and not move freely.
Thanks
