Ball bearings in pillow block, flange block designs
LM76, East Longmeadow, Mass., introduced redesigned lubricating stainless-steel and self-aligning linear ball bearings in pillow block and flange block options.
The new design features a lubrication fitting and an alignment set screw in the pillow blocks and flange blocks, where lubricants can then be pumped directly inside of linear ball bearing races without having to remove the bearing from the shaft. The pillow and flange blocks have also been designed to accommodate an encapsulated ETX Scraper Seals that prevents contaminants from getting inside the bearing, yet still retaining the lubricant in the bearing.
