LMBS is the inch precision family member of the catalogue linear-bearing range. LMBS provides the precision linear-bearing concept in inch dimensions for imported machinery and designs based on imperial shafts. 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 61–62. The documented selection range is 1/4–2 in bore. 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.
Key Features
Technical Specifications
| Item | Documented Value | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Series | LMBS | Catalogue family identifier |
| Design form | Inch precision family | Mounting / envelope decision |
| Documented range | 1/4–2 in bore | Use the exact model row for final dimensions |
| Key specification fields | model / ball circuits / weight / nominal inch bore dr / D1 / L / L1 / L2 / C / Co | Check drawing symbols and tolerance columns |
| Source | Catalogue pp. 61–62 | Supplied bearing catalogue / outline |
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
LMBS appears in precision equipment built around inch shafting, including retrofit situations where converting the surrounding machine to metric dimensions would add unnecessary work.
It is also useful in mixed-standard plants that need a documented imperial replacement rather than a near-size metric substitute.
Selection Guide
Identify the nominal inch bore and measure the actual housing envelope before selecting.
Do not substitute a metric precision bearing on bore proximity alone; outside dimensions, length and clearance conventions must also agree.
Installation & Maintenance
Protect the precision shaft from nicks and dirt during installation and use a square pressing tool on the outer shell.
Track changes in running resistance or repeatability over time; these can indicate shaft wear, contamination or loss of mounting accuracy.
