Plain Linear Bearings - Closed
Closed shell plain linear bearings of the Simplicity® line feature a self-lubricating FrelonGOLD® liner for maintenance-free performance in harsh conditions like extreme temperatures, dirt, and vibration, and are available in inch, ISO metric, and JIS sizes with optional corrosion-resistant Frelon® J or FDA-compliant Frelon® W liners for specialized applications. Unlike open bearings, which allow shaft attachment to a rail for enhanced rigidity, closed bearings handle heavy loads in all directions with versatile mounting options.
