Create: Linear Bearing
by StievenNob
Linear Bearing gives Create Aeronautics builds a sliding joint, so a glued structure can move along a physics-driven track powered by the Sable engine.
What it does
The mod adds a linear bearing that works like the swivel bearing of Create Aeronautics. It gathers the structure above it and turns that structure into a sliding mechanism, which can drive lifts, hoists and track-mounted carriages anchored to the world. The mechanism runs on the power of the Sable engine, and a linear casing completes the setup.
Several supporting blocks sit around the bearing. A torsional anchor with a cogwheel passes rotation through springs, a magnetic port carries rotation over a distance in the same way Sable physics does, and a gyroscopic gearbox aligns connected mechanisms that rotate against the rotation of the Sable sub-level they sit on. A redstone converter turns rotation speed into a redstone signal level.
The mod requires Create, Create Aeronautics, Linear Bearings Fix and Sable. It is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, under the Apache License 2.0, and is not open source. Both the server and every player need it, because the bearing runs as part of the physics of the world.
Key features
Linear bearing
A bearing that turns a glued structure above it into a sliding mechanism driven by Sable physics.
Torsional anchor
A cogwheel block that transmits rotation through springs, with a spring head attached at one end and an anchor at the other.
Magnetic port
A device that carries rotation over a distance and works in the same way as Sable physical components.
Andesite lamp and redstone converter
The andesite lamp shines in proportion to a redstone signal, and the converter maps rotation speed onto a redstone signal level.
Gyroscopic gearbox
Aligns connected mechanisms that rotate in opposition to the Sable sub-level they are located on.

What the author says
Hey everyone! If you are playing with Create Aeronautics, you already know how awesome it is to build moving vehicles and airships. But there was always one missing piece: a reliable way to make stable, physics-based linear sliders, cranes, and elevators that hook directly into the world physics. Create: Linear…
