Thin Wall Plain Linear Bearing FMT20 20mm Closed

Thin Wall Plain Linear Bearing with a precision 20mm ID, 28mm OD and 30mm length, ISO Metric, featuring a self-lubricating FrelonGOLD® liner for maintenance-free, oil-free operation in harsh conditions including extreme temperatures, dirt, vibration and shock. The precision ID provides 0.0005" running clearance per side. Static load capacity is 14,832 N (3,335 lb). Weld splatter wipes away rather than adhering to the bearing surface.
