The Linear Bearings, Units and Shafts catalogue consolidates ball bushings, housed units (flanged/compact), open/closed types and precision shafts with supports. It provides dimension tables, load/life equations and clearance classes to help you size the bearing/shaft combination accurately. Application advice shows how to balance load capacity, rigidity and running smoothness, with examples for gantries, packaging lines and light automation.
Practical guidance includes shaft hardness/surface finish, support spacing, alignment methods and sealing/lubrication strategies for wet or dusty environments. Fit tolerances and shaft straightness limits are summarized to reduce run‑in heat and noise from first start‑up.
