Linear Plane Bearings

PBC Linear has combined the Frelon material with precision bearing technology to create the Simplicity® linear plane bearing. “Simplicity” means quality, performance, and lower maintenance costs. The Frelon liners are bonded to the bearing shell at the molecular level. This configuration transfers the load and dissipates heat throughout the bearing. It also allows the bearing to move in linear, oscillating, rotary, or any combination of motions at speeds exceeding 4 m/s (165 in/s). Made to thrive and survive in the presence of harsh contaminants, the self-lubricating liners offer a number of other desirable features:

• Available in inch sizes from 3/16" thru 4", and metric sizes from 5 mm thru 80 mm
  
• Handles loads over 700 kN (157,000 lbs)
  
• Wide temperature range:  -240° C/ 204° C (-400° F/ 400° F)
  
• Shock loads are absorbed without damage to components
• Reliable friction characteristics that do not increase over the life of the bearing
• Close fit and wiping action cleans the shafting and eliminates the need for seals in 90% of applications
• They will not catastrophically fail

Convenient color coding differentiates between inch, ISO metric, and JIS metric sizes. Also available with optional 316 stainless steel shell for the most severe environments.

Red anodized aluminum shell identifies the inch series, which is available in off-the-shelf industry standard sizes and interchangeable with recirculating ball bearings and some bronze bushings.  Closed style is for use with end-supported shafting.

• ID sizes range from 3/16” to 4”
• Static Load Capacities up to 100,000 lb (444 kN)
  
• Wide temperature range:  -400° F/ 400° F (-240° C/ 204° C)
  
• Self Lubricating for oil free operation
• O-ring and retaining ring grooves offer multiple mounting options
• Can be press fit or slip fit
  

Blue anodized aluminum shell identifies the ISO metric series, which is available in off-the-shelf industry standard sizes and interchangeable with linear ball bearings and some bronze bushings.  Closed style is for use with end-supported shafting.

• Conforms to ISO tolerance standards
