Linear Bushings

 (8 product groups)

Our linear bushings, often referred to as a linear bearing or linear motion bearing, are mechanical components used in various engineering and industrial applications to facilitate smooth and precise linear motion. The linear bushings in our range are designed to be specifically used with our linear shafts.

They consist of a cylindrical outer shell and an inner carriage containing rows of ball bearings. These bearings enable low-friction movement along a linear rail or shaft, allowing for accurate and frictionless linear motion in machinery and systems, such as CNC machines, 3D printers, and automated manufacturing equipment.

We've put together these handy guides to give you more information:

Adjustable Linear Ball Bushings

Adjustable Linear Ball Bushings are used in linear motion systems and are designed to provide precise positioning along a linear axis. Composed of a housing with a row of 4-6 round ball circuits housed in a cage. It has a thin slot down the length of the body which closes the clearance between the inner and outer races between the balls and the shaft when installed in a tight fit housing to illiminate play.

When installed on a linear shaft, the ball bearings circulate between the inner and outer races, providing smooth, linear motion.

It can withstand temperatures from -20C to +80C. Ideal for applications that require frequent changes or fine adjustments, such as printing machines, recording equiptment, and manufacturing processes.

Flanged Linear Ball Bushings

These Flanged Linear Ball Bushings are used in linear motion applications to provide smooth and precise movement along a linear axis. Composed of a housing with a row of 4-6 round ball circuits housed in a cage. The mounting flange allows the bushing to be easily mounted to a surface using bolts or screws. In Long Flanged Linear Ball Bushings, the increase in length gives them greater load capacity and greater stability in comparison with same size standard ball bushings.

They have low friction for reduced wear, plus high load-carrying capacity as the ball bearings distribute the load evenly across the bushing, minimizing stress concentration and extending the system's service life.

It can withstand temperatures from -20C to +80C, and is ideal for applications such as automation systems, CNC machines, assembly systems, and manufacturing processes.

  • Low friction for reduced wear, plus high load-carrying capacity, minimizing stress concentration.
