LMF / LMK / LMH Flanged Linear Bearings

LMF, LMK and LMH flanged linear bearings integrate the bearing and mounting flange in one assembly. Round, square and compact flange forms are documented across the 6–60 mm shaft range.

MOQ flexible. Minimum order value USD 1,500; mixed orders and trial quantities welcome.

A flanged linear bearing removes the need to machine a separate cylindrical bearing pocket and retaining arrangement. Instead, the flange locates the bearing against the carriage face and provides a direct bolt pattern, which can shorten the assembly and make bearing replacement easier.

The catalogue separates the flange geometry into LMF round flange, LMK square flange and LMH compact/hexagonal form. The outline documents a 6–60 mm bore range and lists flange dimensions, PCD, mounting-hole geometry, radial runout, clearance and basic load ratings as the key selection data.

Key Features

LMF round flange for symmetric mounting

LMK square flange for simple bolt-pattern orientation

LMH compact flange where edge space is limited

Documented shaft range d = 6–60 mm

Catalogue note: The supplied catalogue table includes the complete mounting dimensions and load ratings. Confirm the hole pattern and flange envelope as well as the shaft bore before machining a carriage plate.

Typical Applications

Flanged bushings are useful on gantries, small machine slides, dispensing equipment, inspection axes and fixtures where the carriage face is accessible for bolts. The flange also makes field replacement more straightforward because axial retention is built into the component.

Round LMF bodies work well when rotational orientation of the flange is flexible. LMK gives obvious orientation on rectangular plates, while LMH can help when adjacent hardware leaves little edge clearance.

Selection Guide

After choosing shaft diameter, select the flange shape from the available mounting area. Then check PCD, hole diameter and flange thickness against the carriage plate. Finally verify the basic load rating and required radial clearance at the exact model.

Do not rely on the same bolt pattern across all brands or families. For replacement work, send the old flange outline and hole spacing or a drawing so the mounting interface can be checked before shipment.

Installation & Maintenance

Bolt the flange to a flat, clean face and tighten evenly. Distortion from an uneven plate can change internal clearance. The shaft should pass freely through the installed bearing without a forced bend.

Inspect mounting bolts and seals during planned maintenance. Fretting around the flange is a sign that the bearing is moving relative to the carriage or the mounting face is not sufficiently rigid.

FAQ

What is the difference between LMF and LMK?
LMF uses a round flange; LMK uses a square flange. Both are bolt-on linear-bearing arrangements.
What is LMH used for?
LMH is a more compact flange form suited to installations with restricted edge space.
What bore range is shown in the outline?
The documented family covers 6–60 mm.
Which dimensions should I send for a replacement?
Provide shaft diameter, flange outside dimensions, bolt-hole pattern, bearing length and any carriage drawing.
