The LMF30UU is a flanged linear bushing (linear bearing) designed for use with 30 mm shafts. The “UU” version indicates that it includes rubber seals at both ends, providing protection from dust and debris while maintaining low friction. As a flange linear motion component, it offers convenient mounting via the integral circular flange, simplifying installation in linear motion systems.
Flanged linear bearings like LMF30UU are widely used in CNC machines, 3D printers, robotics, linear actuators, precision guides, and industrial automation. Its flange design enables stable mounting to structural plates, which helps in controlling alignment in machine assemblies.
Key benefits include:
Easy mounting via flange — no need for separate clamping blocks
Sealed “UU” version — helps block dust, chips, and contaminants
Low friction motion — recirculating ball bushing design ensures smooth translation
Compatibility with standard 30 mm shafts — widely available and standardized
Compact and reliable — high rigidity, long life with proper lubrication
Many catalogs of flanged linear bearings (LMF series) list variants with flange size, outer diameter, length, and load ratings. For example, one listing shows the LMF30UU in the Misumi catalogue with g6 tolerance and nominal dimensions. (Misumi data)
| Parameter | Value / Typical |
|---|---|
| Shaft compatibility | 30 mm diameter |
| Outer diameter | ~45 mm (typical for LMF-series flange) |
| Length / housing length | ~64 mm (common for LMF30UU) |
| Flange outer dimension | (varies) — typical for mounting use |
| Seal type | UU — rubber seals both ends |
| Bearing type | Linear ball bushing (flanged) |
| Load type | Radial / lateral loads as linear guide |
| Material | Hardened steel shell, ball recirculation |
| Use case | Linear motion systems, CNC guide rails, automation |
Installation Tips
Mount the LMF30UU flange flush to a flat plate with appropriate bolt pattern
Ensure shaft straightness and alignment to reduce side loads
Use proper lubrication (grease or oil) even with seals to maintain low friction
Avoid contamination during assembly — seals help but aren’t perfect
Monitor wear over time; replace when internal play becomes excessive
Note: The sealed “UU” version may add slight rolling resistance compared to open models, but in most practical CNC or automation setups this increase is negligible.
Q1: What does “UU” mean in LMF30UU?
“UU” indicates rubber seals on both ends of the bushing, protecting internal components against dust, chips, or moisture.
Q2: Is it suitable only for 30 mm shafts?
Yes — LMF30UU is designed for 30 mm shaft diameters, matching standard 30 mm linear rods.
Q3: Can it support axial loads?
Primarily it supports lateral/radial loads in linear motion; it is not designed for significant axial force.
Q4: Does it require lubrication?
Yes — though sealed, periodic lubrication helps maintain smooth operation and longevity.
Q5: Is fast shipping possible?
Yes — dispatch from our base in Lublin:
