    Structure and Features


    Linear Bushing model LM is a linear motion system used in combination with a cylindrical LM shaft to
    perform infinite straight motion. The balls in the loaded area of the nut are in point contact with the
    LM shaft. This allows straight motion with minimal friction resistance and achieves highly accurate
    and smooth motion despite the small permissible load.
    The nut uses high-carbon chromium bearing steel and its outer and inner surfaces are ground after
    being heat-treated.
    The Linear Bushing is used in a broad array of applications, such as slide units of precision equip-
    ment including OA equipment and peripherals, measuring instruments, automatic recorders and dig-
    ital 3D measuring instruments, industrial machines including multi-spindle drilling machine, punching
    press, tool grinder, automatic gas cutting apparatus, printing machine, card selector and food pack-
    ing machine.

    Features of the Linear Bushing

    [Interchangeability]
    Since the dimensional tolerances of the Linear Bush's components are standardized, they are inter-
    changeable. The LM shaft is machined through cylindrical grinding, which can easily be performed,
    and it allows highly accurate fitting clearance to be achieved.
    [Highly Accurate Retainer Plate]
    Since the retainer, which guides three to eight rows of balls, is integrally molded, it is capable of
    accurately guiding the balls in the traveling direction and achieving stable running accuracy.
    Small-diameter types use integrally molded retainers made of synthetic resin. It reduces noise gener-
    ated during operation and allows for superb lubrication.
    [Wide Array of Types]
    A wide array of types are available, such as standard type, clearance-adjustable type, open type,
    long type and flanged linear bushing, allowing the user to select a type that meets the intended use.

    Dedicated Shafts for Model LM


    The LM shaft of the Linear Bushing needs to be manufactured with much consideration for hardness,
    surface roughness and dimensional accuracy of the shaft since balls roll directly on it.
    THK manufactures dedicated LM shafts for the Linear Bushing.

    Standard LM Shafts
    THK manufactures high quality, dedicated LM shafts for Linear Bushing model LM series.

    Specially Machined Types


    THK also supports special machining processes such as tapping, milling, threading, through hole
    and end journals, as shown in the Fig.2, at your request.
