Please Note:
Linear Bearings are designed to ride on smooth rods directly which can cause unwanted results if the bearings or the rods themselves are not suited to each other.
Please note that while most bearings are oiled during the manufacturing process this is typically used as a rust prevention is most cases and we highly recommend an application of aftermarket lubricant before using any linear bearing of these types.
Maintaining your bearings with grease/oil periodically is also ideal to prevent undue wear or any performance issues (periods of approx. 6mths is ideal). The Rust prevention oil is harmless to other greases, though Misumi do recommend an application of degreasing before applying lubricants/grease.
We use Superlube® PTFE oil or grease when required. But other common use lubricants can be just as effective, though these should not be used before conducting your own research as some lubricants may cause damaged or have little effectiveness.
As we endeavour to provide the best service we can to our customers, we encourage you to contact us if you have any other questions or concerns.
