LM…UU Standard Metric Linear Bearings

LM…UU standard metric, closed/sealed family linear bearing for d = 3–100 mm. Built for round-shaft linear motion, with model-specific dimensions and load ratings selected from the supplied catalogue.

LM...UU is the standard metric, closed/sealed family member of the catalogue linear-bearing range. Its four-ball-circuit layout is intended for h6 precision shafts; the outline also notes bearing-steel construction and an optional nickel-plated A suffix. The practical buying question is whether its envelope and mounting style match the shaft, housing and carriage already designed into the machine.

The supplied catalogue places this series on pages 39–40. The documented selection range is d = 3–100 mm. Rather than treating the series code as interchangeable with a similar-looking bushing, confirm the exact diameter family and the mounting geometry before an RFQ is released.

Catalogue note: The source provides model-by-model tables. This import row intentionally keeps the published family limits and field structure; final dimensions, C/Co ratings and mass must be taken from the selected catalogue model rather than inferred from a neighbouring size.

Applications

LM bushings fit compact automation, fixtures and machine modules where a conventional closed round shaft can pass through the bearing body.

The OP and AJ variants change how the bearing interacts with a supported shaft or an adjustable housing, so the suffix belongs in the selection discussion rather than being added after installation.

Selection Guide

Begin with the shaft diameter and whether the shaft is fully free or continuously supported. A supported rail normally drives the design toward an open version instead of a closed LM body.

After the geometry is fixed, compare the exact C and Co values, radial clearance and runout for the chosen size. A larger bore alone does not correct shaft deflection or a flexible carriage.

Installation & Maintenance

Deburr the shaft lead-in and press on the outer shell instead of transmitting force through the ball tracks.

During service, keep the shaft clean and lubricated as required by the duty; rough travel should trigger a check of shaft scoring and alignment as well as the bearing itself.

FAQ

What is the main reason to choose LM...UU?
Choose it when the machine needs the standard metric, closed/sealed family geometry and its documented dimensional family matches the shaft and housing.
Can I select only by shaft diameter?
No. Shaft diameter is the starting point; outside diameter, length, flange or housing form, clearance and the model-specific load data also need to match.
Where should final dimensions come from?
Use the exact model row in the supplied catalogue pages 39–40; do not extrapolate dimensions between sizes.
What should I send for an RFQ?
Send the series/model if known, shaft diameter, housing or flange dimensions, expected load, travel/speed and quantity.
