🆕 Series Overview

The LIN-11GL is the long-design variant of LIN-11G, containing two LIN-01R plastic linear bearings separated by a spacer in a single extended housing. The two-bearing configuration substantially increases resistance to moment loads compared with the single-bearing LIN-11G.

Available in 5 bore sizes from 16 mm to 40 mm. Both internal LIN-01R membranes are replaceable independently without removing the housing from the machine.

⚙ Key Design Features

📺

Two-Bearing Long Housing

Two LIN-01R bearings separated by spacer. Significantly higher moment-load resistance than single-bearing LIN-11G.

📈

5 Bore Sizes

16 mm to 40 mm covering the main diameters where extended bearing span is typically required.

🔁

Moment Load Resistance

Longer span improves resistance to pitching and yawing moments from offset loads and long-stroke traversal.

🔧

Dry Running

Two LIN-01R membranes. No lubrication. Both replaceable in situ.

🛣

Anodised Aluminium

Corrosion-resistant long housing for wet and chemically aggressive environments.

✅

Independent Replacement

Each internal LIN-01R membrane replaced independently when worn.

🔭 Materials & Performance Data

The LIN sliding membrane is a proprietary high-performance plastic with density 1.48 g/cm³ and kinetic friction coefficient 0.05–0.15 against steel (dry). Max PV value (dry) 0.4 N/mm²·m/s, continuous temperature −50°C to +90°C, short-term peak +120°C. Tensile strength 75 MPa (ISO 527), compressive strength 60 MPa, elastic modulus 2,400 MPa, Rockwell hardness HRR 107. The spiral groove pattern on the membrane bore expels contaminants axially rather than allowing accumulation — the key advantage over ball linear bearings in dusty environments. The aluminium housing is anodised for corrosion resistance.

📈

Max PV (Dry)

0.4 N/mm²·m/s. Kinetic friction 0.05–0.15 against steel without lubrication. Higher PV possible with lubrication.

🌡

Temperature Range

Continuous −50°C to +90°C. Short-term peak +120°C. Cold-start capable at −50°C without special preparation.

🔧

No Lubrication Required

Dry-running design suitable for food, pharmaceutical, and medical applications where lubricant contamination is prohibited.

🛣

Chemical Resistance

Resistant to alkaline detergents, dilute acids, mineral oils, and common industrial solvents. Washable with food-industry sanitisers.

🏭 Typical Applications

⚙

Cantilevered Carriage Guidance

Carriages with tooling mounted at offset from bearing centreline — long housing resists the resulting moment load.

📈

Long-Stroke Linear Axes

Guidance for long traverse distances where single bearing would yaw under lateral forces.

🍽

Heavy Conveyor Side Guides

Wide conveyors with tall product loads creating significant pitching moment on guide bearings.

💊

Large Medical Device Stages

Horizontal positioning stages where cantilevered detector or treatment heads create moment loads.

🔧 Installation & Maintenance

🔎 Base Mounting

Flat base within 0.05 mm. Tighten four bolts in diagonal sequence. Verify housing is not rocking before inserting shaft.

🔧 Shaft Insertion

h6, Ra 0.8 µm. Insert through both internal bearings — both bores pre-aligned at factory within housing.

📈 Alignment

Align twin-shaft systems parallel within 0.02 mm per 100 mm.

✅ Membrane Replacement

Replace one or both internal LIN-01R membranes independently. Remove shaft, access each position through housing ends, press out worn, press in new.

🔎 Selection Guide

Select LIN-11GL when moment loads from offset payloads or long strokes exceed standard LIN-11G capability. Verify long housing length L fits machine frame space.

①

Confirm Environment

Confirm moment loads are present. If only radial loads, standard LIN-11G is sufficient and more compact.

②

Select Bore & Type

Match bore to shaft. Verify long housing L and W fit the machine frame mounting zone.

③

Verify Load & PV

Verify radial load F ≤ dynamic rating. For moment loads, calculate bearing reactions from moment and span — each reaction within individual bearing rating.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

▶ What is the LIN-11G pillow block and what does it include?

The LIN-11G is a complete linear bearing unit: anodised aluminium housing block with one LIN-01R plastic bearing pre-installed. Mounts to machine base via four threaded holes. Shaft, end caps, and mounting fasteners not included.

▶ What is the difference between standard (G) and long (GL) pillow blocks?

LIN-11G contains one LIN-01R bearing. LIN-11GL contains two LIN-01R bearings separated by a spacer in a longer housing. The two-bearing span provides greater moment-load resistance — specified wherever pitching or yawing loads are present from offset payloads or long strokes.

▶ What is the advantage of the open (GK) pillow block?

The LIN-11GK has an open slot running the full length of the housing top, allowing lateral mounting onto the shaft without removing the shaft from its supports. Essential for retrofit applications and field replacement on machines where shaft disassembly is not possible. Load ratings are lower than closed LIN-11G — select next bore size up if load is close to the limit.

▶ Can the LIN-11G housing be used in washdown environments?

Yes. The anodised aluminium housing resists alkaline cleaners, and the LIN membrane needs no lubrication that could contaminate wash water. Seal the housing mounting-face joint with food-grade silicone sealant and orient the housing with any drain hole facing down.

▶ How is the LIN-11G aligned on a twin-shaft system?

Mount both pillow blocks on a common base plate machined flat within 0.05 mm. Align shaft axes parallel within 0.02 mm per 100 mm using a dial indicator on the shaft. The LIN plastic bearing tolerates more misalignment than a ball linear bearing, but excessive misalignment accelerates membrane wear at the loaded edge.
