Precautions To Be Taken if an Eccentric Load Is Applied

Copy item link
Add item to favorites

The Model LG achieves a much higher load-carrying capacity in receiving the eccentric load (moment and torque) than the Linear Bushing Model LM because of its four rows of raceways. However, under conditions where the eccentric load is larger, the product may experience poor operation or early failure. In such cases, we recommend using ball splines that have larger load carrying capacities. See Ball splines
