The TRS comes in standard lengths from to 9 inches, and with shaft diameters from 00 to.00 inches.

4 LINTH Standard Positioning omponents L & LO Precision Linear earings LINTH's L & LO offer an "all steel" linear bearing design. This provides for operation in high temperature environments (up to + 00 o F) and can offer a smoother operation when compared to the L & LO style bearings for some applications. L, LO & Metric High apacity Linear earings LINTH's high capacity linear bearings have a ball conforming outer race coupled with a self-aligning feature which allows for zero bearing clearance while maintaining smooth operation. The independently self-aligning outer bearing races insure smooth operation by allowing miss-alignment up to / degree in all directions. These linear bearings are available in "open" or "closed" styles. The closed style is available in 0 to.00 inch nominal diameters, while the open style is available in 00 to.00 inch nominal diameters. Metric style diameters are available from mm to 50 mm. SLO, SL, L & LO Pillow locks LINTH's SL and SLO series have one linear bearing and two wiper seals per pillow block, and are self-aligning in all directions. The SLO and LO series have a screw for pre-load adjustment to reduce the shaft and bearing clearance. LINTH's L and LO series have two linear bearings in one aluminum pillow block, separated by a wick that serves as an oil reservoir. ach pillow block housing provides a flat top surface for load mounting and alignment. TR arriage ssemblies LINTH's TR series, TWIN RIL carriage assemblies are pre-engineered assemblies which have either SLO or LO pillow blocks mounted to a 0-T aluminum, black anodized machined plate. The pillow blocks are pre-aligned and doweled to the carriage plate to match LINTH's TRS series shaft assemblies.

5 esign onsiderations Precision Steel s LINTH's precision shafting, S and TRS shaft assemblies use Rockwell 0-5 hardened and ground shafts. These high quality carbon steel shafts are accurately machined and heat treated for uniform hardness. They are also inspected for straightness, roundness, and smoothness. The high hardness and extremely smooth surface of the steel shafts creates an abrasion-resistant surface, which reduces material wear and system friction, while maintaining an optimal surface finish. Inch and Metric shaft diameters are available in different shaft tolerances. Product escription Supports LINTH S end supports use 0-T aluminum (-), or 045 steel (-S). These supports slide over the hardened shaft, and have a screw that is adjusted to clamp the support onto the shaft. The RS series assembly support is manufactured from aluminum, while the low profile LSRS series is manufactured from -08 steel and functions the same as the RS series, but has a smaller overall height. S- Series S-S Series Stainless Steel s For corrosion resistant applications, LINTH provides 440 stainless steel shafts with the same shaft diameter tolerance, hardness depth, and straightness as our standard steel shafts. Stainless steel shafts are typically used in the chemical and food processing industries, for medical equipment in corrosive environments, or in strong oxidizing atmospheres where no lubricating oil is available. RS Series LSRS Series ase Mounting Holes hrome Plated s LINTH can also provide chrome plated precision shafting for those demanding applications that required a high level of corrosion resistance. ase Mounting Holes Tolerance LINTH shafts are precision ground to a very close diameter tolerance. This diameter tolerance is an extremely important factor when using LINTH linear bearings. It assures a dependable fit, with proper clearance between a shaft and linear bearing. Hardness The hardness of a steel shaft is its ability to prevent nicks, indentations, or grooving. It is an important factor in determining the life of a linear bearing system in an application. The heat treatment process performed on all shafts assures uniform hardness in radial and axial directions. Hardness epth ssemblies LINTH shaft assemblies (S and TRS series) use 0-T precision machined aluminum supports. These black anodized supports have pre-drilled base mounting holes that come in both single supports for the S, and TWIN RIL supports for the TRS. These precision machined supports come in,, 8, and 4 inch lengths, and can be combined for nearly unlimited assembly lengths. S Series - single rail supported assembly Pre-Mounted ase Mounting Holes TRS Series - TWIN RIL supported assembly Straightness The exceptional straightness of all shafts eliminate system binding when using a TRS shaft assembly with a TR carriage assembly, and helps the alignment process when using two precision shafts, or S shaft assemblies, in a parallel assembly application.

6 esign onsiderations Product escription Precision Steel Linear earings LINTH's L and LO precision steel linear bearings are manufactured with high quality steel that is hardened and precision ground. The recirculating precision ground bearing balls roll freely into and out of the load zone. The balls are guided through their recirculation path by a steel retainer and hardened sleeve. These bearings are used in high temperature applications and where self alignment is not required. Hardened and Precision Ground Sleeve ross-section "Outer Race" Linear ushing Retainer Self-ligning Linear earings LINTH's L, L and Metric style linear bearings consists of a wear resistant, low friction, smooth, resilient, plastic ball retainer and plastic outer sleeve. The load carrying components of the linear bearing are precision machined, hardened steel bearing plates, and recirculating steel balls. There are longitudinal grooves along the inner surface of the steel bearing plates which contact the recirculating steel balls. The steel bearing plate is also designed slightly thicker in the middle than at either end. This tapered thickness along the bearing plate length allows the bearing plate to automatically align itself with the "inner race" steel shaft. This assures smooth entry and exit of the recirculating steel balls in and out of the load area, along with a more uniform load distribution within the linear bearing. "Inner Race" Steel Recirculating Steel alls Steel earing Plate ross-section Pillow locks LINTH's SL, SLO, L and LO series pillow blocks use one or two, L or LO, linear bearings with integral seals to obtain their long life, and high load capacity. The precision machined 0-T aluminum pillow block mounting surface allows for accurate and easy mounting to a common carriage plate. The SLO and LO pillow block models have an adjusting screw to permit adjustment of radial play between the "inner race" steel shaft and the "outer race" linear bearing. retention pin is used to secure the linear bushing within the aluminum housing. losed Pillow lock "Inner Race" Steel Steel earing Plate "Inner Race" Steel "Outer Race" Linear ushing Recirculating Steel alls Longitudinal Groove Recirculating Steel alls Linear ushing Mounting Thru Holes Integral Wiper Seal Linear ushing Steel earing Plate Open Pillow lock all Retainer Retention Pin Linear ushing Integral Wiper Seal Mounting Thru Holes Preload djusting Screw Self-ligning in all irections 0

7 esign onsiderations Travel Life The rated life of a linear bearing, pillow block or carriage assembly is measured in inches (or km) of travel under a specified load. The failure of a linear bearing system occurs when the operating stresses from the rolling balls in the linear bushing cause material fatigue, resulting in flaking of the steel balls or steel shaft and/or grooving in the steel shaft. very linear bearing, pillow block or carriage assembly has a dynamic load rating associated with it based on a L 0 life of million inches of travel (approximately 50 km). For most applications, knowing the load applied to a linear bearing and the life required is all that is needed in selecting the proper components for the task at hand. For more demanding applications the hardness of the shaft used, operating temperature, direction of the load, additional shock loads, and linear speed of the bearing are all factors that should be considered. This allows for an accurate prediction of the dynamic life of a linear bearing, pillow block or carriage assembly in a specific application. Load Ratings The applied load that a linear bearing, pillow block or carriage assembly will see needs to be compared against the load capacity of that component. The dynamic load rating of a linear bearing, pillow block or carriage assembly pertains to the component in motion and this load rating is based on the number of inches (or km) traveled. Required Life It is important to evaluate the required or expected life from a linear bearing system for a given application load. This required life is specified by the user as the desired life prior to a possible failure. This period of time (usually in years) then will need to be converted into a travel distance (typically inches or km) to select the appropriate size linear bearing, pillow block or carriage assembly. How to Select a Positioning omponent Required Life xamples elow are two examples which illustrate the importance of a dynamic load rating based upon travel life. These two applications could lead to the selection of different components due to the difference in the number of required inches of travel, even though the the applied load is the same 50 lbs (8 kg). xample : assembly needs to last years with a 0 inch move out, then back 0 inches every 90 seconds for 8 hours per day for 5 days per week and 50 weeks per year (0 x ) inches 90 sec 5 days week xample : (4 x ) inches 30 sec X X X 0 sec min 50 weeks yr 0 sec min X 0 min hr X 8 hr day X years = 9,590,400 inches of travel assembly needs to last 8 years with (4) inch moves out, then back 4 inches every 30 seconds for hours per day for 7 days per week and 5 weeks per year 7 days week X 5 weeks yr X 0 min hr X hr day X 8 years = 0,77,440 inches of travel X X

8 esign onsiderations Safety Factors s a practice, safety factors should always be used when selecting a linear bearing, pillow block or carriage assembly for a given application. For most real world applications people do use safety factors. However, sometimes the incorrect safety factor or no safety has been used. This can lead into an unexpected system failure. LINTH provides, in a chart form, different safety factor recommendations for linear bearings, pillow blocks or carriage assemblies. Keep in mind that these recommendations for safety factors are not hard and fast rules. Safety factors for a specific linear bearing system may have to be increased or decreased based upon the application requirements. Linear earing Load apacities Linear earing Load apacities are usually specified with a dynamic value. These values are used to help select the proper linear bearing, pillow block or carriage assembly size for a given load/life application. The use of adequate safety factors is a key element in the selection process of a linear bearing system for a given application. Selecting a bearing system with no safety margin can lead to problems relating to performance and long term life. Load apacities ynamic Load apacity ynamic Loads exert a force upon the linear bearing, pillow block or carriage assembly while in motion. very linear bearing system has a load capacity associated with it that is based upon the number of inches (or km) traveled. If the load applied to the linear bearing system is less than the rated value at million inches (or 50 km) of travel, the linear bearings will have a longer life associated with them that is exponential. Therefore, to properly select a linear bearing, pillow block or carriage assembly that will last the required travel life for an application, the forces acting upon the linear bearings need to be reviewed. Once the force on the heaviest loaded bearing has been determined and a proper safety factor selected, then the life of that bearing, pillow block or carriage assembly can be determined by using a simple mathematical equation. ven though the forces acting upon a bearing, pillow block or carriage assembly can be calculated, other parameters such as changing loads, speeds, acceleration rates, environments, and lack of lubrication produce extra forces (stresses) that are hard to quantify. s a bearing moves, there are additional resultant loads as a by-product. The rate at which the bearing begins to move a load can have a large impact on its life. The linear bearings see this start/stop rate as a shock load each time. These and other variable loads cannot be calculated precisely. Thus, a safety factor should be applied to account for these loads which could fatigue the system and cause premature failure. See the below chart as a guideline. Recommended Linear earing ynamic Safety Factors Impacts or Vibration Speed (in/sec) cceleration (G's) Min. Safety Factor - S None < 5 < Small Medium Large Very Large > 50 > Safety Factor xample The application calls for moving a part (weight = 50 lbs) that is mounted to a carriage assembly. The carriage assembly will be moved to various positions at a speed of 9 IPS, with an acceleration of 0.75 G's. From above chart - use a 3 safety factor Load 50 Safety Factor Select a carriage assembly that has a dynamic capacity greater than this value x 3 = 55 lbs

9 esign onsiderations Load apacities Hardness factor - F H The maximum travel life of a linear bearing is achieved when the shaft surface has a hardness value greater than (>) Rockwell 0. This hardness assures that no shaft grooving or flaking will occur under normal operating conditions. LINTH SL, SS, SN, SM, S & TRS standard 00 steel shafts 440 stainless steel shafts chrome plated 00 steel shafts Rockwell Hardness F H factor Temperature factor - F T mbient temperatures over 0 F (00 0 ) will fatigue any linear bearing system, and will cause a decrease in travel life. Please note that some LINTH linear bearings, pillow blocks and carriage assemblies have a maximum operating ambient temperature of 85 0 F. Therefore these bearings, pillow blocks or carriage assemblies, should never be used in ambient temperatures above 85 0 F. Refer to the temperature graph below for the correction factor when using a linear bearing system in an ambient temperature that exceeds 0 F (00 0 ). When using LINTH bearings, pillow blocks or TR carriage assemblies with different shafting and hardness ratings, refer to the Hardness graph below for the correction factor Temperature factor - F T Hardness factor - FH Hardness factor - F H Temperature factor - FT F F F F mbient Temperature F F Hardness (Rockwell )

10 esign onsiderations Load direction factor - F L The maximum travel life of a linear bearing, pillow block or carriage assembly may need to be de-rated depending upon the direction the load is applied to the bearing. The Polar charts shown below for each bearing type indicate the de-rating factor (or multiplier) based upon the direction the load is applied to the bearing. In most applications not all the bearings will see the same applied load, so you can use the adjacent equation to determine the estimated life based upon the heaviest loaded bearing or the bearing which requires the greatest de-rating factor. This will yield a system life value showing the bearing which has the lowest overall travel life. To use the below graphs, simply find the intersecting point based upon the direction of the load (that the bearing sees) and then use the de-rating factor (i.e. 0.9, etc.), if any.

11 esign onsiderations Lubrication LINTH shafts, shaft assemblies, linear bearings, pillow blocks or carriage assemblies require a small amount of grease or oil for proper, long term operation. Lubrication will decrease system wear and the potential for rusting of shafts and linear bearing surfaces. For most applications a medium to heavy oil, light grease, or silicone based lubricant is recommended. The many built-in pockets within the linear bearing allows the adhesive properties of these lubricants to be stored for extended periods of time while minimizing sealing problems. To obtain the estimated travel life for a given application, the linear bearings, pillow blocks or carriage assemblies should not run dry for an extended period of time. This lubrication schedule will ultimately need to be determined empirically during operation at the installation site since it can vary depending upon the environment, operation conditions, quantity and type of lube used, and other unforeseen conditions. ll LINTH shafts, shaft assemblies, linear bearings, pillow blocks and carriage assemblies are shipped lightly coated with a rust preventative oil in the bearings or on the shafts. This will help prevent corrosion during the shipping period of the product. It is highly recommended that all shafts, shaft assemblies, linear bearings, pillow blocks and carriage assemblies be lubricated during installation or prior to operation. lso, periodic re-lubrication of the linear bearings and shafts, will help assure that the rated life of the system is obtained. NOT: Use of W-40 or other cleaning solvents should strictly be avoided as they can cause damage to the linear bearing and shaft. Frictional Resistance The total friction resistance of a LINTH linear bearing, pillow block or carriage assembly can be calculated by using the following equation. R = W x Note: LINTH recommends using linear bearing systems. =.0 for all The coefficient of friction ( ) of a LINTH linear bearing, pillow block or carriage assembly consists of the rolling friction and the static (breakaway) friction. Two main factors affect the coefficient value. The type of lubrication used (i.e. oil, grease, or none) and the ratio between the total load weight and the dynamic load rating of the linear bearing, pillow block or carriage assembly used. + For most applications, LINTH recommends using a value of.0 for the coefficient of friction. This value can be used for all linear bearings systems. The.0 value provides for an adequate safety margin when evaluating system performance. Other frictional resistances of a LINTH linear bearing are seal drag and system preload. While wiper seals are used to retain lubricants and prevent entry of foreign particles into the linear bearing, they will increase the frictional resistance of the system. Increasing the preload of a linear bearing will also add extra frictional resistance. The chart below lists the nominal values for frictional seal drag of LINTH linear bearings, pillow blocks and carriage assemblies.

12 esign onsiderations Load apacities ll individual bearing force equations below pertain to a four bearing carriage which is at constant uniform velocity or with the carriage at rest. uring acceleration and deceleration intervals of a positioning system, the force exerted upon an individual bearing changes as the acceleration or deceleration rate varies. In most cases, the extra force acting upon an individual bearing during the acceleration interval is offset by a reduced force during the deceleration interval. Therefore, using just the constant uniform velocity equations will adequately determine the life of an individual bearing for a particular application. d d d 3 d 4 F X F Y F Z W - distance between center lines of shafts or rails (in) - distance between center lines of linear bearing blocks (in) - distance between carriage center and load center of gravity (in) - distance between carriage center and load center of gravity (in) d r - distance between carriage surface and linear bearings (in) - force acting upon bearing in X-axis direction (lbs) - force acting upon bearing in Y-axis direction (lbs) - force acting upon bearing in Z-axis direction (lbs) - load weight (lbs) W xample # Horizontal pplications xample # d 3 d 4 d 4 d 3 d W d F Z = W 4 + F Z = W 4 - W W x x d 4 d d 4 d + + W W x x d 3 d d 3 d W d F Z F 3Z F Z F 4Z F Z F 3Z W d F Z F 4Z W F 3Z = + 4 W x d 4 d - W x d 3 d F 4Z = W 4 W d 4 - x - d W x d 3 d Side Mounted pplications Vertical pplications W d 4 W d 3 F Z F Z d r d r W d 4 F Y F Y d F 3Y F 3X F X 3 F 3Z F 4Z 4 d F 4X d 3 F 3Y F 4Y F 4Y d d W W d 4 F Z = F 3Z = + x 4 F Z = F 4Z W W = - x 4 d d 4 d F Y F 3Y = W x d 3 d + d r W d 4 + d r F X F 3X = x F X + F 3X F X + F 4X d W F Y F 3Y = x d 3 d F Y + F 3Y F Y + F 4Y Mean earing Load alculation When the force acting upon an individual bearing varies, as is the case with the bottom axis bearings of a multiaxes positioning system, a mean bearing load calculation determines the life of that bearing.

The pillow blocks are mounted, aligned, and then doweled in-place. They are designed to mate directly with the LINTH TRS series, TWIN RIL shaft assemblies.

14 esign onsiderations TR Rated Load apacity The dynamic load capacity of a LINTH TR carriage assembly is based upon having the load forces centered on the carriage and the combined dynamic load capacity values of the SLO or LO linear bearings used.

The estimated deflection that a configuration will experience is dependent upon the shaft diameter, unsupported shaft length, shaft material, along with the type and number of bearings being used. Minimizing the deflection of the components will reduce additional stresses which can lead to premature failure. xcessive deflection can cause binding or rough operation when the bearings are at the area of travel furthest from the supported portion, which is usually at mid-stroke.

16 esign onsiderations Life xample The following example is provided to aid in the understanding of how the various charts and equations in this technical section should be implemented. For this example, the life estimation will be determined for an application that will use a LINTH TR carriage assembly with a TRS shaft assembly. pplication Parameters The load weight of 00 lbs is centered on the TR carriage along with a inch total travel in the horizontal plane. The LINTH TRS shaft assembly will use 440 stainless steel shafts, and will be mounted to a support structure so that the carriage will be inverted. Various outward moves will be made with a maximum return speed of 5 IPS. This return speed will be the most demanding speed profile in the application and the installation environment will be at 80 o F. Life stimation xample ifferent Options In the application below, utilizing a custom carriage length which has six () SLO- pillow blocks instead of two () LO- pillow blocks on the TR carriage assembly, would increase the R value from,880 to,80 lbs. Thus, increasing the L life estimate value to 98,538,84 inches of travel from 9,9,88 inches of travel. nother option would be to utilize chrome plated shafts for the TRS assembly instead of the 440 stainless steel shafts. This would increase the shaft hardness factor to instead of 0. Thus, increasing the L life estimate value to 07,4,00 inches of travel from 9,9,88 inches of travel for just using the standard TR-. 00 # F etermine Safety and orrection Factors Step : Use chart on page 7 for 5 IPS to select a safety factor: Step : Use chart on page 8 for 440 to select a shaft hardness factor: Step 3: Use graph on page 8 for 80 o F to select a temperature factor: Step 4: Would like to use a TR-. From chart on page : Step 5: Use polar graph on page 9 to select load direction factor: Step : Use the equation on page 9 to compute the estimated life: S = F H = F T = R =,880 lbs F L = L = F H x F T x F L x R F x S 3 x L = x x x x,000, x L = 9,9,88 inches of travel Step 7: Use the equation on page to determine the required life of your application. If the estimated L value above (for a 00 pound load) is less than your desired life, then select a larger carriage assembly from the chart on page, and then plug its dynamic load capacity for the R value into the equation above to re-calculate the estimated L life. s an example, the TR- load rating of 3,0 lbs would increase the L life estimate to 33,45,5 inches of travel from 9,9,88 inches of travel.

34 Options ( -L ) Hand Wheel Lock This option adds an aluminum clamping block to the end of a pillow block, which then provides for a manual lock of the bearing to the shaft. The threaded hand wheel shaft presses into a bronze insert which makes contact to provide a "pressure lock" to the shaft. The threaded steel screw will not back drive and does not make physical contact with the steel shaft (no steel to steel contact). The lock will be installed as shown below when ordered with a SL, SLO, L, LO, or TR series. Multiple locks can be installed onto a TR assembly. imensions open closed F F.00 ustom arriage Sizes ustom carriage sizes that need to be wider, or longer than shown in this catalog can be provided upon request. This will allow for larger rail and bearing spacing (d & d dimensions). ustom arriage Material & Finishes The standard carriage material is aluminum with a black anodized finish. luminum plates can be finished in many different colors, while steel carriage plates can be provided with a black oxide finish. Many other custom alternatives for carriage plates are available. Special Grease Options earings can be supplied with special greases, or lubricants, in order to meet the environmental requirements of the application. xamples of operating environments which may require a special lubricant include: high or low temperature, clean rooms, vacuums and food grade applications.
