Linear ball bearings FAQs

What are the main types of linear ball bearings?

  • Open Linear Ball Bearings: Designed for use on supported shafts.
  • Closed Linear Ball Bearings: Fully enclosed and used on unsupported shafts.
  • Flanged Linear Ball Bearings: Have a flange for easy mounting and alignment.
  • Adjustable Linear Ball Bearings: Allow for adjustments to accommodate shaft misalignment or wear.

What materials are linear ball bearings made from?

Linear ball bearings are typically made from high-quality steel or stainless steel for durability and resistance to wear. The ball bearings inside are usually made from hardened steel.

How do I maintain linear ball bearings?

  • Regular Lubrication: Apply appropriate lubricants to reduce friction and wear.
  • Clean Environment: Keep the bearings and surrounding areas clean to prevent contamination.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the bearings for signs of wear or damage and replace them if necessary.
