Product Overview: The LMF 50 Flanged Linear Motion Bearing
The LMF 50 is a high-precision linear motion bearing, featuring an integrated round flange for straightforward and secure mounting. With key dimensions of a 50mm bore diameter, 80mm outer diameter, and 100mm length, this component is specifically designed for 50mm shafts. As a crucial part of our Linear Motion Bearings collection, the LMF 50 utilizes a sophisticated system of recirculating balls to provide exceptionally smooth, low-friction, and accurate linear movement. The built-in flange simplifies installation by allowing the bearing to be bolted directly to a housing or machine frame, eliminating the need for additional mounting hardware.
Ideal for a wide array of automated machinery, the LMF 50 ensures reliable and consistent performance. Its robust construction makes it a dependable choice for applications demanding high precision and rigidity. Explore our full range of LMF Series bearings to find the perfect solution for your linear motion systems.
