Black Racer Ceramic Coated Linear Motion Bearings

Product catalog summary
Overview
The document discusses Black Racer Ceramic Coated Linear Motion Bearings, emphasizing their superior performance in high load, low friction, and wear life applications compared to traditional linear ball bearings.
Specifications
Black Racer bearings offer unlimited linear speed and acceleration, with a load capacity exceeding 6000 lbs for a 1-inch bearing. They are designed to handle shock, vibration, and contamination, ensuring quiet and smooth operation with minimal wear over long distances.
Performance Comparison
These bearings require lubrication but provide higher load capacities and longer lifespans than linear ball bearings. They are ideal replacements for linear ball bushings, especially in harsh environments due to their low friction coefficient.
Technical Data
The document includes specifications for various bearing sizes, detailing dimensions, load capacities, and recommended shafting materials. It also covers self-lubricating options and lubrication requirements.
Product Variants
Different configurations are available, including closed, open, and self-aligning options, as well as complete pillow block units with bearings, grease fittings, retention pins, and seals.
Applications
Black Racer bearings are suitable for linear, rotary, and oscillatory movements, performing well in high acceleration and speed conditions where traditional bearings may fail.
Ordering Information
Detailed ordering information is provided, including part numbers, dimensions, and configurations for various bearing types and sizes.
Chemical Resistance
The document lists chemicals and their effects on the bearings, categorized as 'A' for little or no effect, 'B' for minor to moderate effect, and 'C' for severe effect. Testing under service conditions is recommended before new applications.
Test Parameters and Results
Test parameters include a dynamic load of 100 PSI, speed of 100 feet per minute, and lubrication with lithium stearate grease. Results show minimal wear, indicating high durability and performance.
Lubrication Recommendations
A consistent thin film of lubrication is essential for optimal performance. Recommended lubricants include lithium stearate grease and MOS 2 Dry Film, while silicon-based sprays are not recommended.
Performance Data
Performance data for linear and rotary motion is provided, emphasizing the importance of correct shaft hardness and finish for efficiency. Coefficient of friction and maximum velocity are specified.
Precision Linear Shafting
Specifications for hardened and precision ground linear shafting are detailed, including dimensions, weight, and maximum length. Custom shafting inquiries are welcomed.
Precision Linear Shafting Overview

Black Racer Family Linear Ball Bearing Family Mike Quinn is VP Sales & Marketing at LM76 Please call me with any questions: 617-538-8756 Since 1976 LM76 has been helping engineers solve their most desperate linear applications. Our Black Racer Ceramic Coated linear bearings are without equal when compared to PTFE, plastic and linear ball bearings. Case in point, linear ball bearings must be greased - the same with our Black Racer Ceramic Coated Bearings. Do linear ball bearings offer a lower coefficient of friction - yes - but so low they blow the Black Racer out - NO. The Black Racer will take...

If you lubricate, there is no equal in performance or price! BLACK RACER, CERAMIC COATED LINEAR BEARINGS™ The “original” drop-in replacement for linear ball bushings, our Ceramic Coated bearing is simply awesome in applications where traditional linear ball bushings fail. Ceramic Coated bearings require lubrication - either a grease or light oil. They excel in “ Hellish “ environments, operate with a low Coefficient of friction ( .04 - .08 ) and outlast any comparable product: .00004” wear after 100 million linear FEET! OVER 100 G’s Acceleration! To date, we are not aware of any application where...

Minuteman PTFE composite linear bearings offer a tough, hard ceramic coated aluminum shell which does not chip, flake or generate debris. Bonded to the bearing shell ID is our Minuteman - Green - PTFE , self-lubricating liner which ranges from .025" - .035" thickness depending on bearing size. Minuteman's self-lube PTFE linear is not filled with abrasive materials like glass or metallics that require hardened steel or 440c stainless shafting. Rather, our blend employs high load, non-abrasive polyimide fillers which are able to run on soft, 300 series stainless steels- 303, 304 and 316 SS. Our...

Performance Data (Ceramic Series) Linear Motion Performance Data Rotar Motion Performance Data Temperature Limitation PV limits as applied to plane bearings vary depending upon the manufacturer's testing procedures. The PV limit for the LM76 bearing was determined to be that point in the testing where the constant coefficient of fric- tion (e.g. .04 increased to .05) remained at that level or higher. At that point, the test was terminated and that load and speed was determined to be the PV limit. Therefore, it should be noted that the PV limit only sig- nifies an increase in friction, and NOT...
