Product Description
Our miniature ball slide, also known as mini linear slide assembly, is a compact precision linear motion component, designed as an alternative to IKO BSP micro linear slide series.
The slide rail and slider main body adopt stainless steel or bearing steel raw material. Bearing steel balls serve as rolling elements, paired with engineering plastic retainer strips to keep smooth ball circulation. Surface treatment options include stainless steel brushing or nickel plating, offering excellent anti-rust and wear-resistant performance.
We manufacture these small linear guide slides through strict production workflow: precision grinding of raw steel, CNC machining for rail & slider profile and mounting holes, precision grinding of raceway, ball assembly and preload clearance adjustment, followed by sliding performance test and full dimension inspection.
As a professional manufacturer, we provide Custom & OEM service. Length can be customized per customer drawings or samples. This custom miniature slide delivers stable linear movement with low friction and high repeat positioning accuracy, ideal for limited-space precision motion applications.

Custom & OEM Service
We are a professional custom miniature slide manufacturer offering full OEM & custom service. You can provide your technical drawings or physical samples for custom miniature ball slide and mini linear slide assembly development.
We support custom slide length, mounting hole layout, preload setting, surface finish selection and material selection. Our engineering team can review your design, provide DFM suggestions and produce prototypes for verification before mass production.
Key Advantages
- Compact footprint: Small linear guide slide with slim 9.9×6mm profile, solving tight installation space constraints.
- Adjustable preload: Pre-calibrated clearance eliminates backlash, improves motion repeatability for precision movement requirements.
- Wear & corrosion resistance: Brushed stainless or nickel plating prevents rust and extends service life in normal workshop environments.
- Smooth low-friction travel: Bearing steel ball rolling design reduces stiction, avoids jamming during reciprocating motion.
- Customizable dimension: Flexible length custom service, no need to compromise your equipment design with standard off-the-shelf slides.
- Strict precision control: Precision ground raceway + CNC machined body maintains tight dimensional tolerances.
Quality Control
All precision linear ball slide products go through multi-stage QC procedures. Raw material incoming inspection, raceway geometry check after grinding, 100% dimension inspection after CNC machining. After ball assembly, each mini linear slide assembly undergoes sliding performance test, preload and backlash verification. We record test data for batch traceability. We can provide inspection reports upon request for custom miniature slide orders.
Shipping & Delivery
Prototype samples of miniature ball slide can be delivered within 7–15 working days after drawing confirmation. Mass production lead time depends on order quantity and custom requirements. We support international shipping by air and sea. All small linear guide slides are well packed to prevent scratches and deformation during transit. We will update shipping tracking information once goods dispatched.
