Thomson® 500 Series profile rails now come standard with an enhanced carriage design that delivers 66% smoother operation with up to 50% lower drag force than previous models. Additionally, a ball spacer carriage option is available to reduce carriage running noise by up to 6 dB. Enhanced design models are 100% interchangeable with previous Thomson® 500 Series carriages and rails. The new design optimizes the surface interfaces between steel and plastic transition areas along the ball bearing circulation path for more precise operation. New standard end seals provide twice the contaminant protection compared to competitive products, with optional low drag end seals idea for low push-force requirements.

Shaft support blocks are used for end or intermittent support where loads are light and deflection between supports is not a problem. Unlike shaft support rails, blocks do not permit longitudinal passage of open-type Ball Bushing® bearings. Type SB shaft support blocks enable clamping of shafts and eliminate the need for bolts, to maintain shaft position. Shimming is suggested for high-precision applications to eliminate the effect of variations in surface of base or manufacturing tolerances between supports.

Precision Steel Ball Bushing® bearings offer great improvements in efficiency, productivity and accuracy over high-friction plain bearings flat-ways. The all-steel design makes the bearing product line perfect for replacing plain bearings in high temperature applications. Rigid construction makes them very durable compared to ball bushing bearings with polymer components. When installed in a standard Thomson® pillow block, the Precision Steel Ball Bushing® bearing can self-align up to 3 deg in all directions.

The Super Ball Bushing® bearing has been the industry standard for self-aligning linear bearings for over twenty years. This bearing provides three times the load capacity or 27 times the travel life of conventional linear bearings. Besides the dramatic increase in load capacity, the Super Ball Bushing® bearing is self-aligning, lightweight and adjustable with a low coefficient of friction. It is a quick and easy replacement for high friction plain bearings. The wear-resistant, engineered-polymer retainers and outer sleeves reduce inertia and noise in critical, high speed applications.
