LIN-01RS Series — Cylindrical Plastic Linear Bearing with Aluminum Housing Short Type
8 bore sizes · Short body · Space-saving · LIN-01 membrane
🆕 Series Overview
The LIN-01RS is the short-body variant of the LIN-01R cylindrical plastic linear bearing. It uses the same LIN-01 sliding membrane and anodised aluminium housing construction, but with a reduced overall body length for installations where axial space is restricted.
Load ratings are proportionally lower than LIN-01R for the same bore due to the shorter contact length. Where load permits, LIN-01RS provides the same dry-running, maintenance-free, and wash-down capability in a more compact envelope. All bore dimensions, housing-bore fits, and material properties are identical to LIN-01R.
⚙ Key Design Features
Compact Body
Shorter overall length than LIN-01R for same bore — suited for space-constrained actuators and instrument stages.
LIN-01 Membrane
Same high-performance sliding membrane as LIN-01R. Spiral groove design. Dry-running. Replaceable.
Anodised Aluminium Housing
Corrosion-resistant. H7 outer diameter for press-fit. Suitable for washdown.
No Lubrication
Maintenance-free dry running. Compatible with food, pharmaceutical, and medical applications.
−50°C to +90°C
Full temperature range. Short-term peak +120°C.
Replaceable Membrane
Membrane replaced independently of housing — lower service cost.

🔭 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
Compact Medical Devices
Short-stroke infusion pumps, pipette dispensers, and diagnostic guides where instrument length is constrained.
Tight-Pitch Automation
Multi-axis stages with closely spaced bearing positions where LIN-01R length would overlap adjacent axes.
Mini Packaging Equipment
Small-format form-fill-seal and sachet machines requiring food-grade guidance in minimal axial footprint.
Instrument Stages
Laboratory automation and analytical instrument stages where compact dry motion is critical.
🔧 Installation & Maintenance
🔎 Housing Bore
H7 tolerance. Press LIN-01RS into bore using press tool on outer housing end face. Identical procedure to LIN-01R.
🔧 Shaft Specification
h6, Ra 0.8 µm. No hardness requirement. Identical to LIN-01R.
📈 Load Check
Short body gives lower load capacity than LIN-01R. Verify applied force against rated dynamic value.
✅ Membrane Service
When shaft play exceeds 0.1 mm, replace LIN-01 membrane. Procedure identical to LIN-01R.
🔎 Selection Guide
Select LIN-01RS when LIN-01R body length is too long for the housing depth and reduced load rating is acceptable. Identical bore selection and housing-fit procedure.
①
Confirm Environment
Confirm shorter body is required. If housing depth permits LIN-01R, use it for higher load capacity.
②
Select Bore & Type
Match d1 bore to shaft. Verify d2h7 fits H7 bore. Confirm short body B fits housing depth.
③
Verify Load & PV
Load ratings lower than LIN-01R — check specification table before finalising selection.
