PBC Linear has taken the Simplicity® linear plane bearing and put it into a smaller package. Its compact size offers weight advantages, as well as space saving features, while retaining all of the other outstanding features of Simplicity® plane bearing technology. The precision sleeve (PS/PSM) and sleeve flange bearings (PSF/PSFM) are designed for press fit or slip fit and epoxy, giving flexibility in housing design. Plane bearing design allows for simultaneous linear and rotary motion at speeds exceeding 4 m/s (165 in/s). Ball-less design will NOT catastrophically fail. Additional features and benefits include:

  • The ability to absorb hard particulates eliminates galling and shaft damage
  • Vibration is dampened, offering smooth and quiet linear motion
  • Ball-less design will NOT catastrophically fail
  • 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
