For mounting of standard type SAMICK Linear Bushing into the Housing, a jig should be used to avoid direct hitting on the outer sleeve or seal when installing. See Below.
Care must be taken to align the bushing and the shaft when inserting a shaft into a linear bushing. If the shaft is inserted with slanted, balls may depart from the damaged or deformed retainer.
External loads should be distributed uniformly on a Linear Bushing. When moment loads are applied, two or more Linear Bushings should be used on one LM shaft, and the distance between two Linear Bushings should have enough distance. When the moment loads are applied, calculate the equivalent load and choose the proper Linear Bushing.
Please mount the open type Linear Bushings with three ball circuit as same as Figure for considering of load distribution.
Linear Bushing is not suitable for rotational motion. If the Linear Bushing is exposed to rotational motion it may lead unexpected accidents.
