Super Smart Ball Bushing Linear Bearing
|
|

Thomson
Super Smart Ball Bushing Bearing products offering: 
- Up to six times the load capacity
or 216 times the travel life of conventional linear bearings.
- Twice the load capacity or eight
times the travel life of industry standard Thomson Super Ball Bushing*
bearings.
- A precision super furnished, dual
track bearing plate for optimum system smoothness and performance.
- A universal self-alignment feature,
that compensates for misalignment of housing bores and 60 Case*
LinearRace* shaft deflection, optimizes load distribution between ball
tracks and assures uniform ball loading over the entire length of the
bearing plate. Installation time and cost is minimized while bearing
performance and life is maximized.
- A technologically advanced design
that allows the bearing to maintain its diametrical fit-up when
installed in housing that is slightly out-of-round.
- Longer travel life and minimal
machine downtime when replacing conventional linear bearings or the
industry standard Super Ball Bushing bearing.
- The RoundRail(*) Advantage combined
with universal self-alignment eliminating the need for de-rating
factors commonly required when using linear guides.
- A coefficient of friction as low as
.001. This allows the use of smaller less expensive motors, belts,
gears and ball screws, when replacing high friction, plain bearings.
- Double lip integral wipers that
keep out dirt while retaining lubrication. Travel life is maximized.
- Worldwide availability from over
1800 authorized distributors.
