    A couple of possible cons to the ball roller posted by K James. grit could get stuck in the device, and it could be weight prohibitive.

    The beauty of these is that dirt does not affect the operation, it is all bearing constuction. There are small bearings behind the large roller bearing. They are used for cnc positioning tables, so you can imagine the crud they get exposed to. Yes, weight could be an issue, the lightest one i have seen weighs 3 oz., not to mention the extra hardware to install it.
