FAQ

What is the primary use of this unibearing?

It is designed for linear motion applications on 15 series aluminum extrusions, commonly used in machinery, automation, and custom structural projects to facilitate smooth sliding or rolling movements.

Does it require additional lubrication?

No, the included UHMW pads are self-lubricating, which means they operate efficiently without the need for external oils or greases, reducing maintenance and contamination risks.

What tools are needed for installation?

Basic tools like hex wrenches are sufficient, as the bearing comes with screws and shims for straightforward attachment to 15 series extrusions, following standard assembly procedures.

Can it be used with other extrusion series?

It is specifically made for 15 series extrusions; using it with incompatible series may affect performance and safety, so always verify compatibility before installation.

What materials are the pads made from?

The pads are constructed from UHMW (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene), a tough, self-lubricating plastic known for its low friction, high wear resistance, and durability in industrial settings.
