Linear bearings go a long way between service intervals
INA Bearing's KUVE four-row re-circulating ball linear bearing is
able to run for over 40,000km without the need for re lubrication.
Able to support moments from all directions, it has wide application in
the machine building sector and can be used in place of conventional
dovetail or sliding guidance systems -both of which are maintenance free
operation, the company can provide a long term lubrication unit, the
LZSE, in addition to special double lipped seals to retain the lubricant
and keep out the dust.
Ask for a technical paper (reference LFW) that provides in-depth
information about the KUVE system.
