FAQ

What does the "2LS" suffix mean in the SKF LBCR 40-2LS designation?

Answer: The "2LS" suffix indicates that the bearing is fitted with integral double-lip seals on both sides. These seals are highly effective at preventing contaminants from entering the bearing and retaining the internal grease lubrication.

Is this LBCR 40-2LS bearing suitable for use with unhardened shafts?

Answer: For optimal performance and service life, linear ball bearings should always be used with hardened and ground shafts (typically to HRC 60-64). Using them on soft, unhardened shafts will lead to rapid wear of the shaft and premature failure of the assembly.

What type of lubrication is recommended for this bearing?

Answer: The SKF LBCR 40-2LS comes pre-lubricated with a high-quality grease suitable for most general applications. If relubrication is necessary, a lithium-based grease like SKF LGMT 2 or LGMT 3 is typically recommended.
