PBC Linear®’s Simplicity® linear plain bearings, equipped with a Frelon® liner, outfits customer’s design with the advantage to last longer and reduce unnecessary replacement costs. By designing the bearings with no rolling elements which can cause stick-slip, the maintenance-free Simplicity bearing cannot catastrophically fail and ensures a long life—even in the most demanding environments. The Frelon liner is bonded to the Simplicity bearing at the molecular level and requires no additional lubrication; creating a clean, green, and widely applicable linear motion solution that is great for almost any environment. The Simplicity bearing has 50% more effective surface area as well as a superior liner proven to last twice as long as its competition. If you compare the numbers, Simplicity performs three times as well in overall calculated life and equips customer’s design with long-term linear motion control.

Get the facts on linear plain bearing performance. At the website, download the free whitepaper, “An Analytic Comparison of Round Shaft Plain Linear Bearings,” and watch the video, “The Results: Simplicity vs. Igus DryLin Bearings,” to learn more about the advantages of using Simplicity linear plain bearings over the competition.

Simplicity is available in a host of linear motion components—pillow block assemblies, flange mounts, precision bushings—and is available in standard inch, as well as ISO and Japanese metric sizes. Simplicity bearings can be integrated into almost any application to improve performance, extend life and save on cost.
