Simplicity Self-Lubricating Bearings

Originally designed as a solution to roller bearing failures, Simplicity® self-lubricating bearings perform reliably even when subjected to contamination, vibration, shock loading and liquid wash downs. Simplicity® is an economical choice with an average purchase price of 15-30% less than rolling element linear bearings. With reliable, maintenance-free operation Simplicity® bearings will not catastrophically fail! The Simplicity® product line consists of more than linear bearings, also included are: linear slides, pillow blocks, sleeve bearings, flange mounts, and die set bushings. Most products are available in inch or metric sizes

Simplicity™ Liners
  • Self-lubricating -- require no external lubricant
  • Embeddability of hard particulate eliminates galling and shaft damage
  • Dampens vibration for quiet and smooth operation
Load Capacity
  • FrelonGold liner supplies average of 20x more load capacity than standard linear ball bearing, resulting in smaller packaging requirements
  • Shock loads absorbed without damage to components
Performance
  • Simultaneous linear, oscillating, and rotary motions expand design possibilities
  • Reliable friction characteristics do not increase over bearing life
  • Liner material similar to energized Teflon® seals
  • Close fit and wiping action cleans shafting, eliminating need for seals
