Description
Oilless Linear Bearings with External Retaining Groove
A standard and extended length oilless linear bearing with a visible external retaining groove.
Combine smooth, self-lubricating linear motion with secure axial fixing. This advanced series of LM linear bearings features a precision-machined external groove for a retaining ring (circlip), providing a definitive solution for preventing axial movement. Built with a robust steel housing and a maintenance-free oilless bronze liner, these bushings are a superior drop-in replacement for traditional ball bearings in demanding applications.
Product Versions
Standard Length Type
Offers a compact, reliable solution for a wide range of applications, combining self-lubrication with positive axial location via a retaining ring.
Extended (Double) Length Type
Provides a larger contact surface for significantly increased load capacity and enhanced stability against moment loads, making it ideal for heavy-duty or high-precision systems.
Key Advantages
- Positive Axial Location: The external groove allows for secure fixing with a standard retaining ring, preventing any axial slippage.
- Maintenance-Free Performance: The inner oilless bronze liner provides continuous self-lubrication.
- Robust Bimetal Construction: A hardened steel outer housing ensures rigidity and durability under high loads and in harsh environments.
- High Load Capacity: Far exceeds the load capacity of equivalent-sized linear ball bearings.
- Drop-in Replacement: Dimensionally designed to fit standard linear bearing housings.
