Bearings for where mounting space is key
Franke Bearings reports that its LSA series slim bearings are now offered in diameters from 3in to 30in, and offer cost-effective alternatives to traditional slim bearings in applications where compact mounting space is essential.
The LSA is a development of wire race bearing technology. With the LSA two race rings are combined to a single one. Instead of four race rings as the conventional wire-race bearing, the LSA only needs two. Due to the special profile of the raceways with two contact points on each of the rolling elements, the four-point principle is maintained. Installation and adjustment are just as easy as with conventional slim bearings with a large gain in load capacity and resilience.
