Oil-free bushings and linear bearings each have their own advantages and application areas, and which one is better depends on the specific application needs.
Advantages of linear bearings include:
- Higher precision: The matching accuracy of linear bearings is relatively fine, which can achieve a close fit between the inner and outer rings and even load distribution.
- Strong vibration resistance: Linear bearings have strong vibration resistance and are suitable for low-speed and heavy-load movements. 2
- Wide range of application: linear bearings are mostly used in linear motion, and can also be used in linear and rotating motion.
Advantages of oil-free bushings include:
- Strong adaptability: Oil-free bushings can reduce wear and friction through the lubrication of lubricating oil and the addition of special additives, thus having a long service life.
- Low Maintenance Cost: Oil-free bushings have relatively low maintenance and replacement costs.
- Save space: The thickness of the oil-free bushing is thinner, saving space.
When choosing between linear bearings and
oil-free bearing, the following factors should be considered:
- Does the application require high precision?
- How harsh is the working environment?
- How sensitive is it to maintenance and replacement costs?
- How much weight does it need to carry?
- How fast or slow is the movement?
In general, linear bearings and oil-free bushings have their own application fields. Choosing the appropriate bearing according to your own application requirements will get twice the result with half the effort.
