The LPAT series from SKF comprises linear supports that hold and guide linear shafts in motion systems. These mounting components are common in automation, machine tools, and material handling equipment, where they help maintain alignment and smooth travel. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this SKF line to customers throughout the United States and Latin America.
Reading the LPAT code is straightforward. The letters LPAT stay the same across the series, and the number that follows indicates the nominal shaft size. So LPAT 12 and LPAT 20 are not different materials or precision grades; they are simply supports for different shaft diameters. When you specify a support, the shaft diameter and the load it will carry are the two key details.
You will find these supports in conveyor systems, coordinate tables, Cartesian robots, presses, and test rigs. They provide a stable, aligned mounting point for linear shafts, which helps reduce friction and wear. Industries such as automotive, food processing, metalworking, and automation rely on them for repetitive, accurate movement.
Selection involves more than the part number. Check the shaft diameter, the load the support must bear, and the operating environment. Alignment with the rest of the system matters to avoid added stress. Keeping the support lubricated and protected from dust and moisture supports a long service life. Clean, flat mounting surfaces are important during installation.
SKF linear supports can often be used in place of other brands that share the same standard dimensions. Before substituting a component, confirm tolerances and the mounting style. Our team can help you evaluate compatibility with other brands and series.

- LPAT is the series designation. The letters identify the family, and the number that follows gives the nominal size, usually the shaft diameter. For instance, LPAT 12 and LPAT 20 are different sizes. Send the full part number so we can confirm compatibility.
- How do I choose the right LPAT support for my application?
- You need the shaft diameter, the load to be supported, and the working conditions. Also check alignment and available space. Contact us via WhatsApp or email for guidance.
- Are SKF LPAT supports interchangeable with other brands?
- They can be interchangeable with other brands that use the same standardized dimensions. Always verify tolerances and the mounting type. We can help you assess compatibility before you buy.
