Simplicity ® Plane Bearings<br />
Technical Information<br />
Linear Motion Systems<br />
BEARING SHELL (cont.)<br />
MATERIALS:<br />
Aluminum Alloy – Is a heat treated and artificially aged<br />
aluminum with good strength and corrosion resistance.<br />
316 Stainless Steel – Has an excellent corrosion resistance<br />
and is widely used by the paper, food, and other industries.<br />
FINISHES:<br />
Standard Anodized – A sulfuric bath anodizing with a nickel<br />
acetate seal that will stand up to 14 days exposure in a 5% salt<br />
spray solution at 96°F. It is applied at a .0002" thickness.<br />
NOTE: See page 62 for details on chemical resistance.<br />
TOLERANCES:<br />
• All bearings are precision ground both I.D. and O.D. to<br />
provide the highest quality.<br />
• Statistical Process Control (SPC) capabilities also increase<br />
fi nal quality.<br />
SELF-ALIGNMENT FEATURE<br />
Simplicity bearings are available with a standard straight O.D.<br />
or a crowned self-aligning O.D.<br />

Technical Information<br />
“FL” – (Standard):<br />
• Straight O.D.<br />
• Pacifi c Bearing standard pillow blocks have the self-aligning<br />
capability designed into the block using standard “FL”<br />
bearings for the final assembly<br />
“FLA” – (Self-aligning O.D.):<br />
• Has a crown on the O.D. allowing the bearing to re-align<br />
itself in binding situations<br />
• Specifi cally designed to easily retrofit straight<br />
bore housings<br />
• The bearing will allow 1/2° of misalignment capability from<br />
centerline (1° overall).<br />
• O-rings are used on either side of the crown. This cushions<br />
and eliminates clatter in operation.<br />
FL = Straight O.D.*<br />
*NOTE: Standard pillow blocks use “FL” bearing with<br />
the self-alignment built into the I.D. of the block.<br />
FLA = Spherical O.D.** 1/2°<br />
**Use in straight bore housings. 1/2°<br />
