Design and construction is identical to the fixed bearing, and is complete with the PTFE and the polished stasinless steel sliding interface as is the free-float type, thus providing for simultaneous rotation and translational movement.
The Guide / Slide Pot bearing incorporates an additional feature to the PTFE / stainless steel slide plate in that 'guide' bars are added, thus effectively limiting lateral movement whilst still permitting translational movement in the other direction.
Therefore, the guide / slide bearing will rotate in any direction, will slide in one direction, but is laterally restrained normal to such sliding direction
