| All of 80/20's Linear Bearings use Wear Pade made of *UHMW-PE, which stands for Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethelene. UHMW-PE is an easily machined, self-lubricating plastic with a low coefficient of friction. Our Linear Bearings are designed to mate and glide on our family of T-Slotted Aluminum Extrusions. 80/20's Linear Bearings provide a modular and cost effective alturnative to traditional bearings. | |||||||||||||||
