Why LM76 Minuteman Linear
Bearings™? Minuteman Self Lube Linear Bearings™ are
exceptionally tough and All Weather/All Theatre
Compatible. Unlike linear ball bearings which employ
re-circulating balls, LM76 Minuteman Self Lubricating
Linear Bearings™ offer a tough ceramic coated shell
featuring our
industry leading Minuteman Green Self Lubricating
Liner™. Since there are no balls or mechanical
mechanisms in the Minuteman Linear Bearing™,
there is no mechanical failure mode. Dirt, dust
and debris get wiped away whereas with a linear ball
bearing,
they get trapped under the seal, filling the ball
raceways and
freezing the balls - destroying the bearing and grooving
the shaft.
Minuteman Self Lube Linear Bearing™ can take a pounding
from recoil, shock/vibration, vicious environments
and high heat.
Recent testing at SAIC Surface
Platform Integration
Small Arms led to this comment:
" We feel that
your (LM76) products will improve our mounts
in regard to performance, life and cost."

Here you can see
sand/dust build-up on the weapon,
mount and tripod.
These mounts provide platform stabilization,
improve accuracy, and increase
hit probability while decreasing the time and
effort to
install and interchange weapons. |
" You need a
linear bearing that can stand-up to sand, heat,
shock and overall abuse. This environment (
desert ) plays havoc with all our systems. Your
bearings meet or exceed mission requirements."
