Grease linear bearings? No thank you!
A set of shelves. An empty set of shelves. A lot of space for other things. It looks like a TV advert for a Swedish furniture company once Christmas is over.

No more lubricating pastes, grease cartridges, grease guns, protective gloves. And not only in January, but lifelong. The following are some examples of rail guides with which you can enjoy lifelong freedom from the need for maintenance.
