LIN-11G Series — Standard Pillow Block Linear Bearing Unit Plastic Sliding
7 bore sizes · Complete pillow block · LIN-01R bearing · Ready to mount
🆕 Series Overview
The LIN-11G is a complete pillow block linear bearing unit: anodised aluminium housing block with LIN-01R plastic linear bearing pre-installed. Mounts directly to a machine frame via four threaded holes. No additional components required other than the shaft and mounting fasteners.
Available in 7 bore sizes from 12 mm to 50 mm. Dynamic ratings 1,152–15,000 N, static 8,064–105,000 N. The LIN-01R membrane inside the housing is replaceable in the field without removing the housing from the machine.

🔭 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 Processing Main Guidance
Pillow block bearings for conveyor guides, filling head carriages, and portioning actuators in food-grade wash-down zones.
Medical Equipment Frames
Complete bearing units for large-format medical device positioning where pillow block mounting simplifies frame design.
Industrial Linear Axes
Standard pillow block guidance for pick-and-place, conveyor systems, and linear transfer in dusty or wet environments.
Packaging Line Carriages
Primary carriage bearings for form-fill-seal, cartoning, and labelling machines in continuous-duty cycles.

🔧 Installation & Maintenance
🔎 Base Mounting
Mount to flat base within 0.05 mm flatness. Tighten mounting bolts in diagonal sequence.
🔧 Shaft Insertion
h6, Ra 0.8 µm shaft. Insert through housing bore. Fasten shaft retaining clips after insertion.
📈 Alignment
On twin-shaft systems, align both pillow blocks parallel within 0.02 mm per 100 mm.
✅ Membrane Replacement
Remove shaft, press out worn LIN-01R bearing, press in new LIN-01R, replace shaft. Housing remains bolted to machine.
🔎 Selection Guide
Select bore to match shaft. Verify housing W and H dimensions fit available mounting space. Check load against dynamic rating.
①
Confirm Environment
Confirm dry-running pillow block is required. For two-bearing long spans, use LIN-11GL.
②
Select Bore & Type
Match bore to shaft. Verify housing W, H fit frame mounting zone. Check bolt hole pattern against frame.
③
Verify Load & PV
Verify F ≤ dynamic rating from table at P = 5 MPa. For moment loads, use two LIN-11G units spaced along shaft.
