SLIDE BUSH + SHAFT Right-Fit Adjustment Too Big of a Radial Clearance or Preloading The FIT Series can solve. [Applicable Series] SLIDE BUSH/SLIDE UNIT/ SLIDE ROTARY BUSH/STROKE BUSH Have you ever experienced...* Radial Clearance between Slide Bush and Shaft Magnified View Right-Fit Adjustment ■The Best-Fit Clearance Adjustment between Slide Bush and Shaft NB's FIT Series takes advantage of Nippon Bearing's high accuracy technology to achieve a target clearance. ■Lower-Cost and High Accuracy Taking advantage of the lower cost Slide Bush, the linear motion produces a smooth, high-accuracy performance. Right-Fit SLIDE BUSH SLIDE SHAFT Example : SM16 (2 pcs in close contact)+ Slide Shaft Standard Product Maximum clearance + 17 microns FIT Series Clearance + 4 microns Placement deviation at the shaft end Standard Product 0.046mm Compared with In some extreme cases, designs have been sacrificed over to other 'types' of linear products to prevent excessive radial clearance or preload resulting in higher production component costs. Due to the combined tolerances of the bush's bore and the shaft's diameter, accuracy can be affected by 'clearance' or increased dynamic friction caused by preloading.
