Simplicity ® Plain Bearing Product Overview

Linear Plain and Ball Bearings

100%

Plain Bearing Only

Good engineering principles dictate that the best bearing design be utilized for any given bearing application. Each type of bearing has advantages and disadvantages. Strengths or limitations can make it a clear choice depending on the application environment. At other times, an engineer will have a choice because multiple types of bearings can meet the need. In 1983, PBC Linear ® created the self-lubricating Simplicity linear bearing – a technology that solves problems in dirt, vibration, shock loading, cleanrooms, welding, foundry, and washdown situations where linear ball bearings regularly fail. Today, PBC Linear provides a full range of linear motion solutions for both plain bearing and ball bearing applications – giving engineers the versatility to choose the right bearing for the application. Chart to the right here is intended to help guide in that decision making process.

Simplicity 60 Plus ® Shafting The PBC Linear development team, working in close conjunction with engineers from Lee Linear ® , have together formulated a linear shaft designed specifically for optimal bearing performance – Simplicity 60 Plus Shafting . Advanced process capabilities maintain the ideal surface finish resulting in the longest life and highest performing shaft-to-bearing combination. Don’t be misled–all shafting is not alike! Don’t settle for below average performance. The smoothest shafting is NOT always the best for all situations. In most applications, smoother does not equal better; in fact, it means decreased performance and shortened life. A shaft surface finish of 8-12 Ra is the optimal smoothness for linear plain and ball bearings. Simplicity 60 Plus Shafting provides maximum linear bearing performance and the following features: • Optimized shaft surface finish for plain bearings • Customizable length and machined features via the configurator with no minimum quantities • Faster Made in the USA

Only certified Simplicity 60 Plus Shafting provides maximum linear bearing performance. Inch Series–page 52 Metric Series–page 90

Running Clearance Simplicity bearings are available with two classes of running clearance: PRECISION–“FL”: • Performs like a preloaded ball bearing • Tightest running clearance approximately 0.001" (0.025 mm) • Used in applications that require high precision

RUNNING CLEARANCE

Standard “FL” Performs like a preloaded linear ball bearing 0.0005" per side clearance average (0.0127 mm)

Shaft

Not recommended for all parallel shaft applications Any misalignment can cause binding on the shaft. Recommend: Compensated–“FLC” (see below).

COMPENSATED–“FLC”: • Performs like a standard ball bearing • Additional clearance built into the I.D.–all other dimensions are the same as the precision bearings • Ideally suited for parallel shaft applications Note: Many parallel shaft applications will run “FL” precision on one rail and “FLC” compensation on the opposite rail to accommodate slight misalignments. Bearing Shell Simplicity bearings are available in a variety of configurations to help meet specific application needs: • Standard is aluminum alloy with anodized finish • 316 stainless steel (no plating) MATERIALS: Aluminum Alloy – Is a heat treated and artificially aged aluminum with good strength and corrosion resistance. 316 Stainless Steel – Has an excellent corrosion resistance and is widely used by the paper, food, and other industries. FINISHES: Standard Anodized – A sulfuric bath anodizing with a nickel acetate seal that will stand up to 14 days exposure in a 5% salt spray solution at 96°F. It is applied at a 0.0002” thickness.

Plain Bearings Simplicity ®

Transfer Process of Liner to Shaft The interaction of the Frelon ® material and the shafting creates a natural, microscopic transfer of the Frelon to the running surface. A thin film is deposited on the shaft, and the valleys in the surface finish are filled in with Frelon material during the initial break-in period. This transfer creates the self-lubricating condition of Frelon riding on Frelon. This break-in period varies depending on several criteria: 1. Preparation of the shafting prior to installation – it is best to clean the shafting with a 3-in-1 type oil before installing the bearings. This ensures that the surface will receive a full transfer of material. 2. Speed, load, and length of stroke specific to the application – typically the initial transfer process will take approximately 50-100 strokes of continuous operation. The running clearance on the bearing will increase an average of 0.0002" to 0.0005", depending on the length of the stroke and surface requiring the transfer. 3. How often the shafting is cleaned – if the shafting is cleaned regularly, increased wear will be seen in the bearings. This is due to the transfer process being performed over and over again.

FrelonTransfer Process

Before

After

Shaft

At break-in, Frelon deposits a microscopic film on the shaft and fills the valleys in the surface finish creating a Frelon-on-Frelon running condition that is true self-lubrication.

Do not repeatedly clean the shafting with alcohol. This will remove the previously transferred material entirely and increase the wear to the bearing liner. Do not use smooth chrome shafting with Frelon bearings. The surface finish is less than 8 Ra and does not maintain proper transfer of Frelon material. This will result in accelerated wear.

RECOMMENDED LUBRICATION • Waylube Oil • Light Weight Oils • Petroleum Based Grease • 3-in-1 oils

Lubrication • Reduce friction up to 50% • Minimize wear of liner • Reduce heat buildup allowing greater speeds Actual speeds achieved are dependent on type of lubricant and frequency of application • Aid in cleaning the shafting for a proper transfer process A minimum of initial lubrication of Simplicity bearings is strongly recommended Chemical Resistance Simplicity bearings stand up to harsh environments and provide excellent performance in a submerged condition. FrelonGOLD ® – the fillers in the material can be attacked by deionized water and other harsh chemicals Frelon J – almost universal chemical inertness: Only molten sodium and flourine at elevated temperatures and pressures show any signs of attack Frelon W – A white colored food-grade liner that is FDA compliant Anodized Aluminum Shell (Standard) – good chemical resistance in most industrial applications 316 Stainless Steel Shell (Optional) – excellent chemical and corrosion resistance in harsh environments

NOT RECOMMENDED • WD-40 • PTFE Sprays • Fluorocarbons • Silicon Oils, Grease or Spray WD40® is a registered trademark of the WD40 company

Temperature Simplicity bearings can operate in a wide range of temperatures (-400°F to +400°F) (-240°C to +204°C). Depending on the materials housed in the pillow block and the size of bearing • Maintains the same performance characteristics • The thin liner allows heat to dissipate through the bearing shell Thermal Expansion The standard bearing I.D. options are designed for use in most industrial applications. For temperatures below 0°F, the standard I.D. is recommended (FL series). For extreme high temperatures, the Compensated I.D. bearing is recommended (FLC) for the increased running clearance.

Rotary Applications Simplicity bearings will operate very well in rotary applications if applied properly. Stationary rotary applications do not allow the heat to be spread over an extended area. It is retained in the I.D. of the bearing limiting speed and load. • MAX rotary speed (No lube/continuous motion) • 40 sfm (12.2 m/min.) for standard precision I.D. clearances • 140 sfm (42.6 m/min.) for compensated I.D. clearances V(sfm) = 0.262 x d x RPM d = shaft diameter (inches) RPM = revolutions per minute • Properly maintained lubrication can increase these speeds dramatically

Shaft

It is always best to do specific testing for rotary applications above these limits where lubrication is to be used.

Submerged Applications Simplicity bearings will provide excellent performance in a submerged condition. The bearings will employ the fluid as a lubricant showing increased velocities and wear life. Oils and non-salt water are especially effective. Note: Please contact factory before specifying FrelonGOLD for submerged applications.

Vacuums/Outgassing/Cleanrooms Due to self-lubrication, low outgassing, and a minimum of particulate (buildup), Simplicity bearings are excellent in clean rooms and vacuums. Testing has been done on the Frelon ® materials in accordance with ASTM E-595-90 with acceptable maximums of 1.00% TML and 0.10% CVCM.

0-Rings Used in standard pillow blocks and with self-aligning bearings. Nitrile Buna 70 (standard) – A good general purpose rubber that is used in 98% of applications (-65°F to 275°F (-54°C to 135°C)). Viton (special – designate with “V”) – Used only in high temperature applications up to 400°F (up to 204°C). Seals Use only in the most contaminated environments. Polymod ® (standard) – A high performance polymer modified material that reduces friction of a standard buna material by 50% and increases wear life. Polymod is a registered trademark of Polymod Technologies, Inc. Temperature : -20°F to +212°F Urethane (special - designate with “U”) – A moly-impregnated urethane scraper that is only for the severest applications - friction is greatly increased! Temperature : -40 to +200°F Viton ™ (special - designate with “V”) – A brand of synthetic rubber and fluoropolymer elastomer used only in high temperature applications. Temperature : Up to +400°F

Attention: 90% of applications do not require seals when using Simplicity bearings. The liner has a natural ability to wipe particles from the shafting. Any particulate (metal, sand, etc.) that does enter the bearing will embed itself into the soft liner not scoring the shafting or locking mechanical parts. When ordering a bearing with any internal features (seals or internal lubrication), the bearing may or may not be shipped with extra internal grooves in addition to those needed for the ordered option. Low volume orders are more likely to have additional grooves. The extra grooves will not negatively impact the performance of the bearing. Also, internal grooves are typically an anodized surface; however, in the interest of the quickest possible delivery, the internal grooves may not be anodized. Bearing Alignment Linear ball bearings will continue to operate in a misaligned condition, but can cause damage to the shafting and catastrophically fail. Simplicity bearings DO NOT tolerate misalignment. They simply stop moving without any damage to the shafting. Self-aligning housings aid in misalignment – up to 1/2° from centerline. Note: Please refer to the tables in the installation section for possible solutions to misalignment.

Lubrication System Order with “JKM” modifier

Lubrication system includes: Felt wick – Retains oil lubricants (remove when using grease lubrication). Wicks are glued in place on open bearings while they just sit in place on closed bearings. Zerk fitting – Installed into pillow block, other housing, or directly into die sets PAC, PACM. (Standard lube fitting with ¼-28 thread)

Applications

LAB EQUIPMENT: This blood analyzer utilizes Simplicity ® plain bearings because they are self-lubricating and do not require additional grease, which can cause contamination.

PRINTING: Commercial printers, 3D printers, laser printers, and deskjets all require smooth, precise, and quiet linear motion, which Simplic- ity linear plain bearings provide.

THERMOFORMING: Simplicity linear plain bear- ings operate in a wide range of temperatures, which is required when molding heated plastic sheeting in thermoforming machines.

ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING: 3D printers require smooth, repeatable linear motion, which is achieved with Frelon ® -lined linear plain bearings.

16 Round Shaft Technology • pbclinear.com

STONE SAWS & HEAVY DUTY CUTTERS: Simplicity ® linear plain bearings are self lubricating and excel in dirty or contaminated environments such as saws and cutters.

SEAT ADJUSTMENT & SHOCK AB- SORPTION: Not all applications are easily accessible for maintenance or repair, including tough military vehicle seating. This is one reason Simplicity plain bearings, with Frelon ® self- lubricating liner, is the best choice. Simplicity provides long-lasting linear motion that will not catastrophically fail.

ASSEMBLY & INSPECTION STATIONS: Round Shaft Technology utilizes precision round shafting as a guideway and combines linear plain or ball bearings for movement – providing a low maintenance solution in assembly stations.

WELDING MACHINES: Simplic- ity linear bearings handle loads over 700 kN (157,000 lb.) and have a high temperature range (up to 204°C). As required in welding applications, they require low maintenance in contaminated environments.
