Minuteman Self Lubricating Linear BearingsTM
Self lubricating plain bearings and because LM76 PTFE composite has no abrasive fillers, it can run on RC60, soft 300 series stainless and aluminium linear shafts. Fit and forget.

Ceramic Coated Linear BearingsTM

The ‘original’ drop-in replacement for linear ball bearings in 1976, featuring a hardened RC89 coating over an aluminium substrate. This bearing requires lubrication, light oil is sufficient, and has broken all test records for linear distance travelled. Great for high acceleration and high speed applications.

FDA & Stainless Steel Linear BearingsTM

A 304 stainless steel shell which features LM76 FDA/USDA complaint PTFE, self lubricating liner. Available in closed and open configurations. FDA Linear Motion BearingsTM give excellent corrosion protection and are wash down rated for applications which require FSD, USDA and 3A compliance.
