I think that they will do the job. My only concern is that you need to use only one per axis, because you need to use only one motor per axis. You can't control each axis with 2 motors.

You have to use one per axis, and you need two tracks (or guide rails) with linear bearings on each side of them to support the weight of the axis and to make the axis stable.

You should use guide rails like those : https://voltatek.ca/49-linear-blocks-guides
