SC…UU / SCE…UU Linear Motion Bearing Units

SC and SCE linear motion units combine a round-shaft linear bearing with a ready-to-mount housing. Standard, vertical/spherical and long variants reduce the amount of carriage machining required.

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

SC/SCE units move the housing decision out of the customer’s machine shop. Instead of purchasing a bare bushing and machining a precise cylindrical pocket, the linear bearing arrives assembled in a block with mounting faces and threaded or clearance holes ready for a carriage plate.

The outline identifies SC...VUU, standard SC...UU and long SC...LUU, plus European SCE...VUU/SCE...UU families. Standard SC coverage is documented around 8–50 mm shafts, with SCE extending to about 60 mm.

Catalogue note: The catalogue table combines housing dimensions with the bearing load rating and mass. Match the mounting-hole pattern as carefully as the shaft diameter.

Typical Applications

SC blocks are common in 3D-printing frames, light CNC attachments, packaging equipment, gantry carriages and fixtures where modular construction saves machining time. Long SC...LUU units are helpful on taller carriages or where the plate needs more angular support.

SCE versions are useful for machinery already built around the European dimensional family. When replacing an installed block, photograph the mounting face and measure hole spacing because a same-bore block from another family may not bolt in.

Selection Guide

Pick SC or SCE from the dimensional standard, then choose standard, long or alternate housing geometry. Check shaft diameter, block height, width, bolt pattern and carriage clearance before looking only at C and Co.

If the shaft is supported continuously, compare SBR/TBR open units instead. A closed SC housing is intended for a shaft that can pass through the bearing bore without a support web.

Installation & Maintenance

Mount the block to a flat carriage surface, leave bolts slightly loose during initial alignment, then traverse the axis before final torque. This helps prevent the housing from forcing the shaft sideways.

Check mounting bolts, seals and shaft condition at service intervals. A loose block can damage both the bearing and the carriage plate.

FAQ

What is an SC linear unit?
It is a linear bearing assembled in a ready-to-mount housing block.
What is SC...LUU?
The outline identifies it as the long housing version for additional support length.
How large is the SCE range?
The outline gives approximately 8–60 mm for the European SCE family.
When should I use SBR instead of SC?
Use an open supported-rail unit when the shaft must be continuously supported along its length.
