Abstract
A bearing assembly for a sliding mechanism in which the potential for erosion of bearing surfaces is significantly reduced. The bearing assembly includes a cylindrical bearing that engages the bearing surface of a slide as it slidably moves with respect to the bearing assembly. The bearing assembly is configured such that rotation of the cylindrical bearing is in no way restricted and at no time is an edge or end of the cylindrical bearing engaged with the bearing surface of the slide.
