Editor Motion Control – Minuteman Linear Bearings
Linear Motion – Why are LM76 Minuteman Linear Bearings™ the 1st choice when failure under poor environmental conditions is simply, “NOT AN OPTION?” Because Minuteman Self Lube Linear Bearings™ are exceptionally tough and All Weather Compatible! Unlike linear ball bearings which employ re-circulating balls, LM76 Minuteman Self Lubricating Linear Bearings™ offer a tough ceramic coated shell featuring LM76’s industry leading Minuteman Green Self Lubricating Liner™.
Since there are no balls or mechanical mechanisms in the Minuteman Linear Bearing™, there is no mechanical failure mode. Dirt, dust and debris get wiped away whereas with a linear ball bearing, they get trapped under the seal, filling the ball raceways and freezing the balls – destroying the bearing and grooving the shaft. Minuteman Self Lube Linear Bearing™ can take a pounding from recoil, shock/vibration, vicious environments and high heat.
