Ball-Bearing Components
Standard Ball-Bearing Components
A complete line of ball-bearing components in both imperial and metric sizes is available. Stock bushing and retainer sizes are available to accommodate pins of up to 3 inch diameter and 20 inches in length. Lamina ball-bearing retainers are made from a heat treated aluminum alloy that combines lightness and strength. Ball-bearings are placed in retainers in an off-line radial pattern that offers optimum life in high or low speed presses.
Lamina has over 750 ball-bearing components to choose from in inch and metric sizes. The Ball-Bearing Products catalogue includes ball-bearing retainers, straight sleeve bushings, demountable shoulder bushings, straight guide posts, and demountable guide posts.
See the Ball Bearing Products catalogue for specifications and operating data.
Try Lamina Ball-Lube® and Ball-Scrubb®. Lamina Ball-Lube® and Ball-Scrubb® will keep your ball-bearing guide pin assemblies operating efficiently. Lamina Ball-Scrubb® removes heavy soils, dirt and grease from ball-bearing guide pin assemblies. Ball-Lube lubricates assemblies and gives them longtime protection against wear, oxidation and heat.

LamGlide™ Bushings - New
The LamGlide™ bushing is a premium bushing designed for the most demanding applications. Its unique patented liner provides superior wear resistance over bronze and steel. The LamGlide™ bushing is maintenance free and operates burr and wear filing free. It can be used anywhere linear or vertical motion is required.
LamGlide™ Bushings have outstanding physical, mechanical and chemical properties that include self-aligning, dimensional stability, is tolerant to edge loading, chemical resistance, and lightweight material.
Stress Test Comparison
LamGlide™ vs other bushings
Description: Various bushing makes were field tested on the same Lift Mechanism within a Progressive Die. Operators did not lubricate the bushings.
| Bushing Types | Field Test Life Cycle NO LUBRICATION after installation |
|---|---|
| Hardened Steel Drill Bushing | * failure after 10,000-20,000 cycles |
| Bronze Self-Lubricating Bushing | * failure after 50,000-60,000 cycles |
| LamGlide™ | greater than 1.8 million cycles (no failure yet) |
*Note - with regular lubrication maintenance, life of bushing is significantly increased.
Conclusion: LamGlide™ Bushings are ideal for high production environments where operators do not lubricate the bushings at regular intervals or where lubricant contamination, debris or byproducts are undesirable.
