Flange connection or flange joint refers to a detachable connection in which flange, gasket and bolts are connected to each other as a combined sealing structure. Spherical flange is one type of flange.
[0003] Linear guides are used in high-precision or high-speed linear reciprocating motion. The function of linear guides is to support and guide moving parts to make reciprocating linear motion in a given direction. Sliders are commonly installed on linear guides. The spherical flange is fixed to the slide at the upper end of the guide through a connecting structure, while the existing connecting structure is directly fixed to the slide at the upper end of the guide through bolts and nuts.
