Sometimes, an application leads you to an immediate, off-the-shelf solution – like this one. Harvesting bee honey is a seasonal opportunity and these systems are hauled across the country to make it happen. They need to be all weather, tough and maintenance-free. The next time you take some honey and put it in your tea, think of us – LM76. Read more »

When a design engineer has fully defined a linear-motion application’s requirements regarding travel length, speed, force, and accuracy as well as repeatability, the next question to answer is this:
Does an off-the-shelf linear slide (or a stock linear slide from a catalog) fully satisfy the application?
Off-the-shelf linear slides are advantageous for their quick delivery and lower cost than that of custom components. No wonder most linear-motion designs do in fact employ off-the-shelf linear slides from various component and system suppliers.

December 16th, 2016 Editor Transporter 2 Roller Block and Rail system from LM76
The Transporter 2 Roller Block and Rail system from LM76 is just that…practical. A black anodized aluminum carriage plate which features 4 plastic wheels pressed over ABEC 1 roller bearings. Transporter’s rail features a ceramic coated aluminum extrusion which offers a hard, extremely durable running surface. Transporter 2 offers 2 carriage plate designs: Option 1 is a standard block with 4) 10-32 mounting holes. Option 2 is a longer and more narrow block with 4) 10-32 mounting holes and a hand lock assembly. This low friction, maintenance free system is superb for sliding doors, manual assembly lines, camera motion and any other applications where low friction motion is required. Transporter is not for high loads or moment loading or for applications which require high speed, critical accuracy or wash down.

E. Longmeadow, MA – Linear Motion – Tiger Bearings from LM76 are a tough maintenance-free option to traditional PTFE lined or injection molded plastic linear bearings. Available as 3/4 inch and 1 inch closed bearings, these are the ideal bearings for high load applications up to 35,000 lbs. such as: Backhoes, front end loaders, marine davits/sheaves, valve stem bushings, hitches, hydraulic cylinder pivots, graders, and mining equipment.
Tiger Bearings, developed by LM76 engineers, are multi-layered. These drop-in replacement bearings feature a standard diameter ceramic coated aluminum outer shell. The innermost layer consists of a synthetic fiber/PTFE layer. The middle layer consists of epoxy-coated high-angle glass filaments, and the outer layer is of epoxy-coated low-angle glass filaments. It is this multilayered design that withstands the crushing shock loads, environmental contamination, the simultaneous rotating and twisting motion, shaft misalignment, corrosive chemicals and high and low temperatures found in construction and marine environments.
The electrically insulated, layered Tiger Bearings are self-lubricating (coefficient of friction is just .02 to.25), operate in temperatures of -300O F to +300O F, and have very low water absorption (<.05%). The layers of high angle and low angle epoxy coated glass filaments stabilize the bearings preventing “Creep” or “Cold Flow” under high pressure typical of standard PTFE bearings under high loads.
