This pillow block concept localizes machining complexity in the bearings.
Contact pressures in this concept are relatively high.
The turntable underneath allows rotational displacement around the vert
axis. The linear slide at the bottom is undersized in these views (early
version).
The log roller approach brings contact pressures down. The blocks may
need to be laminated to minimize eddy currents. The linear slide is
enlarged here and the turntable is up top.
