🆕 Series Overview

The LMHP...LUU series extends the square-flange LMHP...UU bearing with a longer body to increase dynamic and static load ratings. Square flange dimensions — face width W, bolt-hole positions, flange thickness H — are identical to the UU counterpart. This series combines torsional resistance of the square flange with the enhanced load capacity of the extended ball circuit.

LMHP...LUU is specified when moment loads or long stroke lengths push the standard UU rating toward its limit, and where torsional resistance of the square flange is also required. The extended body provides a longer shaft contact length, improving guidance stiffness against pitching and yawing moments.

⚙ Key Design Features

📺

Flanged Axial Location

The precision-ground flange face registers directly against the housing shoulder, providing positive axial location without snap rings or adhesive retention.

●

📈

Dynamic Load 323–2490 N

Covering 9 bore sizes for applications from lightweight instrument stages to heavy industrial press guides.

🔒

NBR Dual Lip Seals

Retain factory-applied NLGI-2 grease while excluding dust and contamination. Rated −20°C to +80°C continuous service.

🛠

PA66-GF30 Retainer

Glass-filled nylon cage maintains precise ball spacing across the full 360° circuit, preventing ball-to-ball contact and associated noise.

✅

ISO/DIN Interchangeable

All dimensions conform to ISO Square Flange Extended standards for direct replacement compatibility with equivalent housings.

🔭 Materials & Construction

GCr15 chrome steel (AISI 52100), HRC 58–64. All flange faces ground flat and square to bore axis within 0.02 mm. PA66-GF30 retainer. NBR dual lip seals. NLGI-2 grease. The longer body holds a greater grease charge than UU, marginally extending re-lubrication intervals.

The ball retainer is injection-moulded from glass-fibre-reinforced nylon (PA66-GF30), maintaining precise ball spacing around the full 360° circuit to prevent ball-to-ball contact noise at higher traverse speeds. Dual NBR lip seals on both end faces retain factory-applied NLGI-2 lithium-complex grease while excluding dust, swarf, and splash contamination. Operating temperature range is −20°C to +80°C with standard seals and grease.

🏭 Typical Applications

⚙

Semiconductor & Electronics Assembly

Diamond-flange (LMK) variants are specified in SMT pick-and-place machines and PCB drilling heads where the bolt pattern must clear adjacent PCB components; the asymmetric mounting points reduce the flange envelope versus round-flange designs.

📈

Automotive Body Assembly

Square-flange variants resist the torque loads generated by hemming press guide pillars without rotating in the housing, maintaining panel datum accuracy across millions of press cycles.

🔧 Installation & Maintenance

🔎 Flange Face Seating

Ensure the housing counterbore depth matches the bearing flange thickness. An under-depth counterbore leaves the flange proud of the housing face, creating a gap at the bolt interface that allows the bearing to rock under load and introduces harmonic error motion.

🔧 Bolt Torque Sequence

Tighten flange mounting bolts in a cross pattern to 30–50% of final torque, then complete to specification. Sequential tightening distorts the flange and shifts the bore axis by up to 0.05 mm, degrading shaft alignment.

📈 Housing Bore Tolerance

Machine the housing bore to H7 tolerance. For square-flange (LMH/LMHP) variants, also verify the flange seating face is square to the bore within 0.02 mm to prevent cocking the bearing on assembly.

⚙ Lubrication

Apply NLGI-2 lithium-complex grease to the shaft before insertion. Re-lubricate every 500 km of travel or 6 months under normal duty. In washdown environments, shorten the re-lubrication interval and use a water-resistant grease formulation.

🔎 Selection Guide

Verify housing counterbore accommodates the extended LUU body before machining. Square flange dimension W is unchanged from UU — only body length L increases. Confirm torsional load magnitude against bolt preload capacity; if loads are very high, consider a keyed or dowel-pinned housing.

①

Confirm Bore & Standard

Match bore diameter to shaft. Confirm ISO Square Flange Extended housing dimensions — mixing ISO and DIN outer diameters requires housing re-machining.

②

Select Flange Style

Round flange for maximum moment resistance; diamond flange for compact bolt clearance; square flange for torsional resistance.

③

Calculate Load & Life

Compute radial load P. Target L10 = (C/P)³ × 50 km. If life is marginal, specify the LUU extended variant to raise C without changing bore.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

▶ What does the LUU suffix indicate?

LUU denotes the extended-length body. The longer race accommodates more simultaneous ball contacts, raising both the dynamic load rating C and static rating Co compared with the standard-length UU equivalent of the same bore diameter and flange style.

▶ Are LMF...LUU and LMF...UU flanges the same size?

Yes. The flange diameter, PCD, bolt-hole pattern, and flange thickness are identical between the UU and LUU variants for the same bore size. Only the body length L and the resulting load ratings differ. This means the same housing tooling accepts both standard and extended versions.

▶ When should I specify LUU instead of UU?

Choose LUU when the application involves moment loads (carriage offset from bearing centreline), long unsupported stroke lengths, or when a single bearing must resist tilting forces without a second bearing on a parallel shaft. The extended body provides additional stiffness against all these load cases.

▶ Can two LUU bearings be used on a single shaft?

Yes — and this is the standard configuration for guided carriages. With two bearings separated by a span of 1.5–2× the carriage length, the system resists pitch, yaw, and roll moments. Ensure both housing bores are aligned within 0.02 mm per 100 mm to avoid preloading the ball tracks.

▶ How does the extended length affect lubrication intervals?

The larger internal volume of the LUU body holds more grease, extending the re-lubrication interval slightly compared with the UU variant under identical duty conditions. As a starting point, use the same 500 km or 6-month interval and adjust based on observed grease condition at the first inspection.
