I have a circular saw jig which I made myself and it uses bits of

I'd like to make a better one with longer "rails" and rather than
using the L shaped strips, which tend to sag, I'd like to use tubing
and I know you can get some things that run along tubing and probably
have ball bearing in, but I can't remember what they're called.
Can anyone tell me what these are called please so I can look them up
online
I would call them linear bearings. They can be fully circular or part,
so to fit round shafts or guide rails respectively.
so:
linear bearing pillow
linear guide rail
An idea:
