Standard ball bushings, open
Where bending (deflection) of the shaft has to be avoided, open standard ball bushings
are utilized in combination with shaft supports. This is often the case for applications
with extended travel. By way of the combination described above, the stiffness is in fact
additionally increased.

The standard ball bushings can be supplied from stock, with two wiper seals. The required seals are to be included when
ordering.

Standard flanged ball bushings (round)
Flanged ball bushings of the BBER series represent a useful addition to the standard
ball bushings.

They offer the following advantages:

• The integrated flange design enables a more efficient arrangement of the housing or
mounting holes.
• The flanged ball bushings are economical, because fewer components are required and altogether the installation is easier.
• The replacement of the ball bushings is easier.

The standard ball bushings can be supplied from stock, with two wiper seals. The required seals are to be included when
ordering.

Tandem standard ball bushings
The tandem standard ball bushings of the BBE…L series have the same dimensions
and tolerances of the ISO standard ball bushings, however they are twice as long and
they are applied where high moment load exists.

The big advantage of this type of ball bushings is that two standard ball bushings may
be replaced. Since the concentricity is built in, increased accuracy is achieved and
manufacturing costs reduced.

The standard ball bushings can be supplied from stock, with two wiper seals. The required seals are to be included when
ordering.

Tandem flanged standard ball bushings (round)

The ball bushings of the BBER…L series combine the advantages of flanged standard
ball bushings with those of tandem ball bushings, since they provide a rigid, aligned
linear guidance through their length, allowing the application of a second ball bearing.

The standard ball bushings can be supplied from stock, with two wiper seals.
The required seals are to be included when ordering.

Super ball bushings (closed, open)

The super ball bushings of the BBET series according to ISO 10285 are available as
an open and a closed model. The super ball bushings have similar dimensions and
tolerances as standard ball bushings.

Super ball bushings have crowned track segments which allow misalignments of up to
0.5° to be accomodated. Hence, overloading because of bending (deflection) of the
shaft or skew due to inaccuracies of the tooling hole is avoided.

Through the specific construction, higher capacities, smoother operation, as well as a

higher permissible operating speed of up to 3 m/s, are obtained.

Because of the self-adjustment, per shaft, at least two super ball bushings should be
utilized to avoid tilting.

The super ball bushings can be supplied from stock, with two wiper seals.

Linear units with standard ball
bushings, relubrication

Linear units with standard ball bushings,

closed casing

Due to their optimised design, the linear units of the LSE series with a relubrication system offer high precision in any type of
installation.

A LSE linear unit consists of the following:

• casing (AlMgSi0,5)
• BBE standard ball bushings
• wiper seals made from NBR

The linear units offer substantial cost advantages to the user, because of reduced construction expense.

The unit construction allows easier integration into installations. Reduced unit weight is obtained by using high grade aluminium,
allowing for greater accelerations and higher speeds.

General information

Introduction
Linear ball bushings achieve longitudinal movement along a shaft by retaining the balls in a closed circulation path, allowing
constant recirculation through the load zone. Hence, unlimited lifting heights/strokes are possible. The ball bushings offer the
advantages of any journal (ball) bearing, namely a long operational life, low friction and breakaway torque, high precision and
efficiency. The surfaces of the bearings are made from high-grade rolling bearing steel. The precisely shaped and polished
cylindrical sheet-metal outer ring consists of one single part. It is held together by way of turned parts, screwed into the
bushing/case and combining the function of smooth sealing rings through their design. Therefore, standard bearings with
wiper seals can often be utilized. A unit with high rigidity, functional reliability and sustainability is achieved.

Load ratings
Dynamic load rating C
The radial load with constant magnitude and direction, a linear-rolling bearing can theoretically cope with
for a nominal operational period of 105 m covered distance. Remark: The details of the dynamic load rating stipulate that the
lift of the linear-joint (ball) bearings should be at least three times its overall constructional length.

Static load rating C0

Static radial load results in deformation at the contact zones with the highest load/stress between the rolling element and the
orbital path (shaft) of 5300 Mpa.
Remark: The permanent overall deformation of the rolling element and the orbital path corresponds approximately to a factor
of 0,0001 of the diameter of the rolling element.

The load capacity of a ball bearing (closed and adjustable) varies depending on the reference point of the load
(and) on the circumference (size). The value in the Tables indicates the smallest load rating assuming a load
working from/on the topside of a ball element. Where two ball elements are utilized that are being evenly loaded, the value
increases. The Table above displays the values for the number of ball elements in each of the cases.

Where a load is applied in the open direction, the load capacity (rating) is reduced, because the load is
working on a smaller number of rows of balls.

Material
Depending on the application, various models of ball bushings may be utilized.

Standard ball bushings of the BBE series consist of the following:

• a hardened and polished outer sleeve (100Cr6)
• a guidance cage made from plastic (POM)
• balls made from ball-bearing steel (100Cr6)
• wiper seals made from NBR (optional)

These ball bushings have as distinctive advantages for instance reduced noise during operation and
a cost-efficient model.

Standard ball bushings of the BBE…A series consist of the following:

• a hardened and polished outer sleeve (100Cr6)
• a guidance cage made from austenitic stainless steel (X2CrNi 18-9)
• balls made from ball-bearing steel (100Cr6)
• wiper seals made from NBR (optional)

Potential applications: high temperatures, for instance in foundry applications or applications involving vacuum, where the
utilization of plastic parts is not feasible.

The corrosion-resistant ball bushings of the BBES series consist of the following:
• a hardened and polished outer sleeve made from martensitic stainless steel (X105CrMo17)
• a guidance cage made from plastic (POM)
• balls made from ball-bearing steel (100Cr6)
• wiper seals made from NBR (optional)

Potential applications: corrosive environments.

The corrosion-resistant ball bushings of the BBES…A series consist of the following:
• a hardened and polished outer sleeve made from martensitic stainless steel (X105CrMo17)
• a guidance cage made from austenitic stainless steel (X2CrNi 18-9)
• balls made from ball-bearing steel (100Cr6)
• wiper seals made from NBR (optional)

The ball bushings of the BBES…A series are specifically intended for use under extremely dirty conditions, for instance cement
works or the wood processing industry. A further potential area of application is the industry in which aggressive cleaning
agents are used (e.g. the food industry, chemical industry, pharmaceutical and medicinal industry).

76
Super ball bushings of the BBET… series consist of the following:
• a guidance cage and outer sleeve made from POM
• hardened steel inserts with polished orbital path groove (15CrMo5)
• balls made from ball-bearing steel (100Cr6)
• wiper seals made from NBR (optional)

The high-grade super ball bushings of the BBET series distinguish themselves from the conventional ball bushings by a triple
load capacity and by an operational life that is 27 times as long as the normal one.

The ball bushings of the KH… series consist of the following:

• a hardened sleeve, shaped without cutting (chipless)
• a guidance cage made from plastic (POM)
• balls made from ball-bearing steel (100Cr6)
• wiper seals made from NBR (optional)

Service life
Nominal service life
The nominal service assumes a 90% certainty for achievable service life for a single rolling bearing or a group consisting of
similar rolling bearings, running under the same conditions, with standard material of normal production quality and under
standard operating conditions.
The sizing of the ball bearing is determined by the required service life and load. The service life of the ball bushings is
calculated in the same manner as all rolling bearing, using the following formula:

L nominal service life, km

ƒh• ƒT • ƒc C dynamic load rating, N

Temperature °C

If the ambient temperature of the ball bushings exceeds 100°C (212°f) during operation, negative effects from the high
temperatures must be taken into account. Moreover, the respective ball bearing has to be suited for high temperature ranges.

78
Contact factor fC

If multiple ball bushings are put closely together, the running motion is influenced by moments and the mounting precision, in
such a way that an equal load distribution is very hard to achieve. In such a case, a contact factor is to be taken into account.

Load factor fW

In general, machines with oscillating movements cause vibrations and shocks during their operation. Generally, it is quite
hard to exactly determine the vibrations and shock loads, caused by repeated starting and stopping, during operation at high
speeds. If the loads acting on the ball bushings cannot be measured or in case of high speed and shock loads having a large
influence, the appropriate load factor has to be applied.

Operating conditions, speed V fw

Normal operating conditions, V≤0,25 m/s 1,0…1,5
Normal operating conditions with limited vibrations/shocks, 0,25<V≤1,0 m/s 1,5…2,0
Operating conditions with strong vibrations/shocks, V>2,0 m/s 2,0…3,5

Static safety coefficient fS

The static safety factor is used to prevent unacceptable permanent deflections of the raceways and rolling elements. It is the
relation between the static load capacity rating C0 and the maximum occurring load F0max. The maximum load condition
including transient conditions is assumed.

Lubrication and friction
The friction levels for ball bushings without wiper seals are quite low, at approx 0.001 to 0.003. The general rolling bearing
criteria apply to the lubrication. Lubrication can be mineral based oil or grease and the following is to be taken into account.
The grease enhances the sealing and adheres to the ball bearing. Further lubrication is only necessary over longer intervals.
Contrary to ball screws and track rail guides, substantially less lubricant is required for ball bushing guides, due to the limited
contact surface between the rolling bearing and the orbital path.

We recommend mineral based grease of K2K DIN 51825 quality. In case of loads that are more than 10% higher than the
dynamic load capacity rating, greases with EP additives are to be used (KP2K DIN 51825). The ball bushings as standard
are treated and delivered with an oily preservative. The preservative can be used with and can be combined with lubricants
having an oily basis, so that in general the bearing does not have to be washed before installation.

Under normal circumstances, grease SNR LUB EP is used. Specific requirements under certain environmental conditions
require the use of suitable grease. In vacuum applications, lubricants are required that have a lower evaporation rate, in order
to keep the vacuum atmosphere in good order. In the food industry and cleaning room, there are special requirements for the
lubricant with regard to emission and compatibility. Basically the compatibility of the lubricants in relation to each other should
be checked. In case of special ambient conditions, we will gladly assist you.

* This grease is registered as H1 product: it has been developed for occasional, technically unavoidable contact with foodstuff.
Experiences have shown that the grease can also be used for the corresponding applications in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic
industry, on the conditions listed in the product information. However, there are no specific test results, for instance, on the
biocompatibility, as may be required under certain circumstances in the pharmaceutical area. Therefore, before it is used in this
area by equipment manufacturers and distributors, corresponding risk analyses must be performed. If necessary, measures to
avoid health hazard and injuries must be taken. (Source: Klüber Lubrication).

81
In case of the initial lubrication and further lubrication through the lubricating hole, lubricant has to be applied to the bearing
in installed shafts until it abundantly ‘fills’ the bearing.

The lubrication period depends on many influential factors, for instance:

• Load
• Speed
• Motion sequence
• Temperature

The following influential factors reduce the lubrication interval:

• Greater load
• High speed
• Short stroke (stroke is shorter than three times the length of the ball bearing)
• Lower ageing resistance of the lubricant

Precise lubrication intervals can be obtained upon request, based on the operating conditions.

Fittings
In general, in case of standard ball bushings, the normal clearance fit is applied. The transition fit is used,
in order to reduce the play and increase the accuracy.

The pre-tension for the adjustable and open ball bushings must be set according to the values displayed in the table for the
radial play (clearance), so that the allowable limit values for the pre-tension cannot be exceeded.
In case of the super ball bushings, it has to be taken into account that adequate play (clearance) occurs between the super
ball bearing and the shaft. If that is not the case, early failure and/or jerky movements may be caused.

Standard ball bushings are otherwise inserted in a H7 bore and retained by way of locking rings. Alternatively, they can and
may also be fixed or adhered by way of screwed disks, locking plates or washers.

Using complete bearing units in which the bearings have already been installed eliminates fitting concerns and offers a
significant cost benefit.
