Linear Bearings › LIN Plastic Series
LIN-01R Series — Standard Cylindrical Plastic Linear Bearing with Aluminum Housing
8 bore sizes · Complete unit · LIN-01 membrane · Replaceable membrane
🆕 Series Overview
The LIN-01R series is a complete cylindrical plastic linear bearing comprising an anodised aluminium outer housing pre-fitted with a LIN-01 sliding membrane. Ready for direct installation into an H7-tolerance housing bore. No additional components required.
Dynamic load ratings from 870 N to 15,000 N and static ratings from 6,090 N to 105,000 N across 8 bore sizes (10–50 mm). The membrane is the only wearing element — replace it alone when wear is detected, retaining the aluminium housing for multiple service cycles.

⚙ Key Design Features
Complete Unit
Aluminium housing pre-fitted with LIN-01 membrane. Ready to install — no additional parts required.
High Load Ratings
870–15,000 N dynamic, 6,090–105,000 N static. Higher load per bore size than ball linear bearings via surface contact.
Replaceable Membrane
Only the membrane wears — replace at fraction of full bearing cost. Housing retained for multiple cycles.
Dry Running
No lubrication required. Maintenance-free. Compatible with food-industry washdown.
Anodised Aluminium Housing
Corrosion-resistant for wet, humid, and chemically aggressive environments.
−50°C to +90°C
Full LIN temperature range. Suitable for cold-store and oven-adjacent duty.

🔭 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
Food & Beverage
Filling, portioning, and packaging machinery in wash-down zones where ball-bearing grease would contaminate product.
Medical Equipment
Infusion pump slides, diagnostic instrument carriages, and surgical table positioning systems.
Industrial Automation
Linear actuator guides, pick-and-place bearings, and conveyor guides in dusty or wet environments.
Packaging Machinery
High-cycle carriage guidance for form-fill-seal, label applicators, and case-packing lines.

🔧 Installation & Maintenance
🔎 Housing Bore
Press LIN-01R into customer housing bore (H7 tolerance) using press tool on outer housing end face only. Do not use adhesive — housing must be removable for membrane replacement.
🔧 Shaft Specification
h6, Ra 0.8 µm or better. No hardness requirement — compatible with stainless steel, aluminium, and plastic shafts.
📈 Membrane Replacement
When shaft play exceeds 0.1 mm: remove bearing, press out worn membrane, press in new LIN-01 membrane, reinstall. Aluminium housing not replaced.
🛣 Washdown
Wash in situ with food-grade alkaline cleaner. Ensure drain holes face downward. No relubrication after washing.
🔎 Selection Guide
Select bore to match shaft nominal diameter. Verify housing d2h7 fits available mounting bore. Check load against rated dynamic and static values.
①
Confirm Environment
Confirm dry-running, food-grade, or maintenance-free requirement that makes ball linear bearings unsuitable.
②
Select Bore & Type
Match d1 bore to shaft. Verify d2h7 fits customer housing H7 bore. Check body length B against available housing depth.
③
Verify Load & PV
Verify F ≤ dynamic load rating at P = 5 MPa. For static loads, verify F ≤ static rating at P = 35 MPa.
