Linear Ball Bearings & Bushings

High speed, enduring linear motion

Considered by many to be the default choice for linear motion applications, the round shaft recirculating Linear Ball Bearing is a tried and tested option suitable for most linear motion applications where little debris is present. Each bearing type is crafted to offer reliable, efficient, and quiet operation across a wide range of linear motion systems, ensuring high performance and long life. The standard type of linear ball bearing can be loaded from any direction for ease of assembly. Linear Ball Bearings from PBC Linear are the ideal choice for linear motion applications where high speed and high precision are a priority.

Key Features for Linear Ball Bearings:

  • Interchangeability: Compatible with industry standards and PBC Linear Simplicity bearings.
  • Material: High-quality heat-treated alloy steel shells with a low coefficient of friction.
  • Self-Lubricating: Maintenance-free operation with FrelonGOLD®, Frelon J, and Frelon W liners.
  • Durability: Resin retainers for reduced noise and double seals included as standard.
  • Temperature Range: Suitable for -4°F to +176°F (-20°C to +80°C) environments.
  • Designs: Available in closed, adjustable, open, wide, and compact thin-wall configurations.
  • Size Ranges: From 1/4" to 2" (Imperial) and 5 mm to 50 mm (Metric and JIS).


Linear Ball Bearings Product Variants:

  • IP Series (Inch): Closed, adjustable, and open models for traditional imperial measurements.
  • EP Series (ISO Metric): Closed, adjustable, and open designs tailored for European standards.
  • JP Series (JIS Metric): Closed, adjustable, and open types for Asian standards.
