White Paper: Flanged Linear Bearings for Fitness Equipment
Flanged linear bearings play a key role in specialized fitness equipment, where designs have proliferated to meet women's and seniors' needs for smooth, consistent motion. Options include linear rolling element bearings, bronze bushings, solid plastic bearings, and Simplicity self-lubricating plain linear bearings.
This paper explores components and requirements for weight stack and fitness applications, including smooth motion, repeatable tolerances, easy assembly, and low maintenance. While various bearings offer advantages at different life stages, only Simplicity self-lubricating flanged plain linear bearings deliver consistent performance across all areas. Their FrelonGOLD® material ensures uniform friction throughout the bearing's life, with reliable fit and function from manufacturing through assembly and use.
