Description
What it is
The M12UU is a linear bearing ball bushing designed for high precision applications such as 3D printers and CNC machines. This component effectively replaces the SDM12UU in various 3D printer and CNC machine models.
Features
- Outer diameter: 12 mm
- Total length: 21 mm
- Linear travel length: 30 mm
- Internal ID: check datasheet
What it is for
The linear bearing LM12UU is ideal for improving the precision and usability of carriages in 3D printers like MendelMax, Prusa, and Reprap. It is equally useful in CNC machines to optimize linear movement. This component can be mounted on a MendelMax carriage in approximately 30 minutes.
Tutorial: How to use LM12UU
The linear bearing LM12UU is crucial for improving the precision of 3D printers and CNC machines. Useful for those who want to optimize the linear movement of carriages.
