SDM13GA Linear Bearing 13mm Shaft Diameter Linear Motion Bearing

The SDM13GA Linear Motion Bearing exemplifies the enduring reliability of steel in precision motion systems, offering exceptional durability for 13mm shaft applications. Constructed from high-performance steel alloy, this bearing combines inherent material strength with precision engineering to withstand demanding operational conditions. The steel composition provides superior load capacity and resistance to deformation, maintaining precise alignment even under continuous heavy use. This robust material choice ensures consistent performance in industrial environments where shock loads and vibration would compromise lesser components. Steel's natural hardness minimizes wear on both the bearing and shaft, extending service life while preserving smooth motion characteristics. The bearing's thermal stability prevents performance degradation during prolonged operation, making it suitable for high-duty-cycle applications. Precision grinding of critical surfaces ensures low-friction movement while the material's structural integrity resists the micro-deformations that can affect accuracy over time. Particularly effective in CNC equipment, automated production lines, and material handling systems, this steel bearing demonstrates how traditional material advantages translate to modern motion control requirements. The combination of steel's vibration-damping properties with precision manufacturing results in a component that delivers both durability and smooth operation. Engineers specify this bearing when they require the proven performance of steel in 13mm linear systems where reliability under stress and long-term dimensional stability are non-negotiable requirements for consistent operation.

② Features of linear bearings

1.The linear ball bearing comprises an outer race, a retainer, balls, and end rings. The retainer, housed within the outer race, features three or more rows of elliptical ball tracks that enable continuous ball circulation with minimal friction. The end rings secure the retainer at both ends of the outer race.

2.One side of the parallel straight sections of the elliptical ball tracks is open, allowing the balls to contact the shaft surface. This design permits unlimited back-and-forth ball movement along the tracks in response to the shaft’s linear reciprocating motion. Consequently, the retainer not only guides the rolling motion but also prevents ball displacement when the bearing is disengaged from the shaft.
