ABSTRACT:
A slide mechanism for accurate linear, nonlinear and rotational motion. A first slide located in slidable relation to a second slide wherein the slides are separated by a distance except for small bearing surface. A portion of each of the slides is made of a magnetic material such that the slides are attracted to each other thereby maintaining the first and second slides in slidable relation. Apparatus for adjusting the separation distance between the magnetic materials of said surfaces such as a bearing set screw is disposed in one of the slides thereby providing the adjustment of the distance between the magnetic surfaces of the first and second slides. The bearing of the bearing set screw rest upon the opposite slide and provides a smooth movement of the sliding of the slide mechanism. The slide mechanism provides smooth and accurate movement for several mechanical devices.
