Round FlangeExtended BodyHighest CapacityDry Running

🆕 Series Overview

The LIN-02RFL combines a round flange for axial location with an extended body using the LIN-02 membrane in a longer format. Load ratings exceed those of the standard LIN-01RF — making LIN-02RFL the highest-capacity round-flange option in the LIN family.

Dynamic load ratings 1,300–17,500 N and static 9,100–122,500 N across 8 bore sizes. Round flange provides positive axial location and allows clocking to any angle before bolting. LIN-02 membrane replaceable independently.

⚙ Key Design Features

📺

Round Flange + Extended Body

Combines positive axial location with extended body for higher load than standard LIN-01RF.

📈

Highest Capacity Round Flange

1,300–17,500 N dynamic — highest load ratings in the LIN round-flange format.

⚙

Any Clocking Angle

Round flange rotates freely before bolting — clock to align housing features.

🔧

Dry Running

LIN-02 membrane. No lubrication. Replaceable. Food-grade compatible.

🛣

Anodised Housing

Corrosion-resistant. Compatible with alkaline food-industry cleaners.

✅

Replaceable Membrane

Replace LIN-02 membrane when worn — housing and flange body retained.

🔭 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

🍽

High-Load Food Equipment

Heavy-duty filling, portioning, and slicing machines where round flange mounts to frame and load exceeds LIN-01RF capacity.

💊

Industrial Medical Equipment

Large-format medical imaging and therapeutic device stages requiring high-load dry-running with flanged mounting.

⚙

Heavy Automation

Pick-and-place and palletising robot guide bearings where flange mounting simplifies frame design.

📈

Packaging Machine Drives

Primary carriage bearings where payload mass pushes LIN-01RF load ratings to their limit.

LIN-02RFL in application environment

🔧 Installation & Maintenance

🔎 Housing Counterbore

Counterbore to accept flange thickness ts. Bolt circle must match d3. Flange face square to bore within 0.02 mm.

🔧 Bolt Torque

Cross-pattern tightening to prevent flange distortion.

🔧 Shaft Specification

h6, Ra 0.8 µm. No hardness requirement.

✅ Membrane Service

Remove bolts, pull axially, press out LIN-02 membrane, press in new, reinstall.

🔎 Selection Guide

Select LIN-02RFL when load exceeds LIN-01RF capacity and round-flange mounting is required.

①

Confirm Environment

Confirm round-flange mounting is required and load exceeds LIN-01RF capacity.

②

Select Bore & Type

Match d1 bore to shaft. Verify d2h7 fits H7 bore. Confirm flange d3 bolt circle matches housing pattern.

③

Verify Load & PV

Verify F ≤ dynamic rating from LIN-02RFL table. Ratings are higher than LIN-01RF for same bore.

LIN series plastic linear bearings overview

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

▶ What is the difference between LIN-01R and LIN-02R bearings?

LIN-01R uses the LIN-01 standard membrane for higher load capacity. LIN-02R uses the narrower LIN-02 membrane in a shorter housing body. Both use identical aluminium housings; the membrane type determines load rating and body length.

▶ Can the membrane be replaced without replacing the housing?

Yes — this is the key service advantage. When the membrane wears and shaft play develops, only the membrane is replaced. The aluminium housing is retained. This significantly reduces replacement cost and maintenance time compared with ball linear bearing units.

▶ What housing bore tolerance is required?

H7 tolerance. Press the bearing into a H7-tolerance bore. Do not use adhesive — the membrane must remain free to flex slightly under load, and the housing must be removable for membrane replacement.

▶ Are LIN bearings suitable for vertical shaft applications?

Yes. The dry-running design is unaffected by shaft orientation — no grease migration issue. In vertical applications, the spiral groove assists axial expulsion of particles that might otherwise accumulate at the lower end.

▶ What is the maximum operating speed?

Maximum linear velocity is 1.5 m/s for oscillating motion and 1.1 m/s for continuous linear travel (PV limit 0.4 N/mm²·m/s at P = 5 MPa). For higher speeds, reduce applied load to stay within the PV envelope. Contact GBC for applications above 1 m/s continuous.
