Product Overview: The LM 10 Linear Motion Bearing
The LM 10 is a high-precision linear motion bearing, an essential component in our LM Series of Linear Motion Bearings. With a bore diameter of 10mm, an outer diameter of 19mm, and a length of 29mm, this bearing is engineered to provide exceptionally smooth and accurate linear movement along a 10mm shaft. It features multiple rows of recirculating balls that run along a hardened outer cylinder, significantly reducing friction and ensuring stable, low-noise operation. This design makes it ideal for applications requiring high rigidity and precision.
As a key supplier of industrial mechanical parts, we ensure our LM 10 linear bearings meet stringent industry standards, offering reliability and a long service life. These bearings are fundamental in converting rotary motion into linear motion or for guiding moving parts with high precision.
