Plain Linear Bearing - Square Flanged SFPM12 12mm Precision ID

Square Flanged Plain Linear Bearing of 12mm ISO Metric ID (inner diameter.) Compensated running clearance of 0.0015” per side allows pairing with another bearing on a parallel shaft with imperfect alignment, while the Simplicity® FrelonGOLD® liner ensures maintenance-free performance in harsh conditions like dirt, vibration, and extreme temperatures. The aluminum alloy shell provides lightweight durability, with optional Frelon® J or FDA-approved Frelon® W liners for corrosive or food-grade applications. Its design supports smooth linear and rotational movement with superior vibration damping for quiet, reliable operation.

Bullet Points:

  • Compensated running clearance of 0.0015” per side enhances alignment flexibility.
  • ISO metric standard size with 12mm inner diameter ensures precise compatibility.
  • Temperature range of -240°C to 204°C (-400°F to +400°F) suits extreme environments.
  • Variant ID sizes available from 3/16” to 3” (inch series) and 6mm to 60mm (metric series).
  • Supports linear and rotational movement for versatile applications.
  • Compensated ID design enables slightly higher operational speeds
