Recomended Tolerance of Housing bore for SAMICK Linear Bushing are in Table. Normal fit is standard, but for without clearacnce, pressed fit is also available.

Normal fit is standard for using of Linear Bushing with LM shaft. And for without clearance, tight fit is available.

High holding strength toward LM shaft direction is not required, but just press fit only for mounting is not recommended.
Feasible mountin methods are illustrated in Fig 8 and Fig 9. At this moment, fix the linear bushing with retaining rings and cover plates.
Retaining ring for LM type SAMICK Linear Bushing are used for mounting as shown in the table below.

Note ) The information in the table are common for LM and LM -L type.
Mounting a Linear Bushing with a set screw as shown in Figure will cause deformation of the outer sleeve and should be avoided.
Mounting for LMF, LMK, LMH (included long type), only mounting the flange with mounting bolt can be all of mounting because of its single body shape. Geometric Dimensional Tolerance should be considered when the Outer Sleeve is the datum for installation.
Adjustment of clearance for Adjustable type (AJ) and LM shaft can be obtained by assembling with the adjustable type Housing,. In this case, the slotted side of Linear Bushing should be located at 90¢ª of open side of Housing for equivalent deformation against radial direction.
Open type(..OP) also can be used with clearance adjustable housing as shown on Figure, Light pre-load is applied for normal using, but heavy pre-load should be avoided.
Shaft support, SK can be mounted with mounting bolt for table, and LM shaft can be mounted with tightening bolt.
Monting of SC type Both side mounting of SC(E), SC(E)_W, SC(E)_V type from the top and the bottom side with mountng bolt are both available and it gives you minimum mounting time.
