Plain Linear Bearing - FLN24 1.50″ Open
No reviews
Open plain linear bearing with a 1.5" precision ID for round shafts, which provides a 0.0005" running clearance per side. The open anodized aluminum shell provides clearance for rail-supported shafting or profiled rails, while the bonded, self-lubricating FrelonGOLD® liner supports maintenance-free linear, rotational, and oscillating motion without grease. Built for harsh environments where extreme temperatures, dirt, vibration, shock loads, contamination, or washdowns can make rolling element bearings harder to maintain.
- Inch Series - Open anodized aluminum shell
- Precision running clearance of 0.0005" per side
- Optional liners: corrosive chemical resistant Frelon®J FDA Compliant Frelon®W
- Temperature Rating: -400°F/+400°F or -240°C/204°C
- Vibration Damping: Ensures smooth and quiet operation
- Straight outer diameter (crowned ODs have FLA part numbers)
- Click "Configure" for the option of a stainless steel shell
- Optional double seals of Polymod, Urethane, or high-temperature Viton
- Optional JKM lubrication system (zirk fitting thru hole, felt wick)
