LM50UU 50 MM Linear Motion Bearing – Product Overview
The LM50UU 50 MM Linear Motion Bearing is a heavy-duty precision ball bushing designed for smooth, low-friction linear motion along a single axis in demanding industrial applications. With a 50 mm bore and 80 mm outer diameter, it offers substantial load capacity for heavy equipment and large-format machinery.
The bearing features a high-carbon chromium steel outer casing that provides exceptional strength and rigidity for heavy-load applications. The synthetic resin retainer plate ensures accurate ball guidance while minimizing noise, even during high-speed operation. Hardened end rings with a protective coat extend the bearing’s service life and protect against wear in demanding environments.
All components are standardized and interchangeable, so replacing worn parts is simple and cost-effective — no need to replace the entire assembly. For optimal performance and smooth motion, the shaft should be lubricated and should meet G6 tolerance with a chrome-plated, hardened surface.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an LM50UU linear motion bearing?
The LM50UU is a heavy-duty closed-type linear ball bearing with a 50 mm bore diameter and 80 mm outer diameter. It provides smooth, low-friction linear motion along a round shaft and is designed for demanding industrial applications requiring substantial load capacity.
What is the load capacity of the LM50UU?
The LM50UU offers high load capacity with its 50 mm bore and 80 mm outer diameter, making it suitable for heavy-duty industrial applications. For specific dynamic and static load ratings, please refer to the dimension charts or contact our technical team.
What shaft specifications are required for the LM50UU?
The LM50UU is designed for use with 50 mm diameter round shafts. For optimal performance, the shaft should be chrome-plated, hardened, and meet G6 tolerance specifications. Proper lubrication is also essential for smooth motion.
What is the difference between LM50UU and LM50UU OP?
LM50UU is the closed type bearing used on unsupported shafts. LM50UU OP would be the open type bearing with a cutout for supported shafts. The closed type (LM50UU) is preferred when the shaft does not require support along its length.
How do I maintain the LM50UU linear bearing?
Regular maintenance includes keeping the shaft clean and properly lubricated. Inspect the bearing for signs of wear such as increased noise, rough motion, or visible damage. Replace worn components promptly to prevent system failure in heavy-duty applications.
Is the LM50UU suitable for high-speed applications?
Yes. The synthetic resin retainer and precision ball guidance system ensure low noise and smooth operation even at high speeds, making it suitable for demanding high-speed industrial applications.
