The split/open arrangement is intended for installations where the bearing must clear a shaft support or where the catalogue open profile is required. This open configuration is aimed at supported-shaft systems. The cutaway section must line up with the shaft support, so orientation becomes part of installation rather than an afterthought.
Because the bearing slides rather than recirculates balls, surface pressure and sliding velocity interact. The family limit is expressed as PV = 0.4 N/mm²·m/s maximum. For thermal screening, keep steady duty within -50/+90 °C. The +120 °C upper figure belongs to brief exposure, not continuous operation.

Data boundary: The figures above are published family properties. Exact dimensions, housing fits and load values for LIN-01RSK stay model specific and should come from the selected catalogue row.
Use Cases
The open cylindrical profile belongs on supported shafts in conveyor auxiliaries, packaging equipment and long guide stations where structural rail support is part of the axis.
For LIN-01RSK, corrosion resistance and lubricant-free travel can simplify machine housekeeping. The catalogue also notes that the LIN material can be cleaned with disinfecting solution, which is useful context for equipment where oil migration would be undesirable.
Selection Priorities
Selection starts with a supported-shaft layout, then moves to the open-section dimensions and orientation. Include the rail/support drawing when there is little clearance around the carriage.
After the geometry is identified, compare the real duty with the dry-running material limits. Record load, sliding speed, stroke, shaft finish and operating temperature in the RFQ so LIN-01RSK is checked as a system rather than as a bore-size lookup.
Installation Review
After mounting an open bearing, move the carriage over every support joint by hand. Any contact between the open section and rail should be corrected before powered operation.
This family does not depend on scheduled grease replenishment. Inspection should instead look for abnormal clearance, embedded abrasive particles, heat and uneven wear; those symptoms often point to shaft or alignment issues around the LIN-01RSK installation.
