Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does "LM8SUU" mean and how does it differ from LM8UU?
A: The "S" in LM8SUU indicates a short version of the standard LM8UU linear bearing. Both share the same 8mm inner diameter and outer diameter, but the LM8SUU has a shorter overall length. This makes it ideal for compact 3D printer builds or applications where axial space is limited.
Q: Are these linear bearings compatible with standard smooth rods?
A: Yes — each LMxUU bearing is designed to match the corresponding standard shaft diameter. For example, LM8UU fits an 8mm smooth rod, LM12UU fits a 12mm rod, and so on. Just match the bearing model number to your shaft diameter for a proper fit.
Q: Can I order a size that is not listed in the options?
A: Absolutely. These linear bearings support customization. If you need a size not shown in the available options, please contact customer service with your exact requirements (inner diameter, outer diameter, and length) and a custom order can be arranged.
Q: What materials are used in these linear bushings?
A: The housing is made from bearing-grade steel for durability and rigidity, while the ball cage is constructed from nylon to minimize friction and ensure quiet, smooth movement along the linear shaft.
