Ball Bushing Bearings Thomson offers an extensive family of linear bearings. Super Smart Ball Bushing® Bearings are available in inch and metric sizes. Thomson uses the latest technology - universally self-aligning bearings. These bearings are offered in a dual-track design and offer load capacities up to 7,760 lbf (30,000N). The Super Smart Ball Bushing Bearings are available in sizes 0.5 to 1.5” (8 to 40mm). Super Ball Bushing pillow blocks are available in closed, adjustable and open styles in both single and twin versions. These are the original, self-aligning, precision, anti-friction...

RoundRail Linear Guides and Components Shafting While shafts may appear the same, there are significant performance differences due to the manufacturer’s selected standards, and the manufacturing processes used to achieve them. The linear inner race demands the highest levels of material cleanliness, surface topography, surface hardening, diameter, taper and roundness, surface finish and straightness to provide optimum performance, minimal maintenance and long life. Unlike common shafting, Thomson 60 Case® LinearRace® shafting is manufactured to the highest quality standards. Our techniques...

RoundRail linear guides are the non-driven building blocks for linear slide tables. They offer the customer flexibility to fit specific envelopes by allowing customized separations between shafts and between bearings on shafts to produce higher moment capacity. When combined with ballscrew assemblies, they become a driven slide table. Because RoundRail linear guides are offered in a wide range of sizes, bearing types and mounting configurations, they are typically selected by the qualitative attributes that are most appropriate for a given application (i.e. environmental considerations,...

RoundRail Linear Guides and Components Let Thomson help you choose the right rail type and carriage. Since the introduction of the square, or profile rail, linear guide in the 1970s, the design engineer has been faced with the pivotal question: round or square? While square rails initially cost many times more than round technology due to the extensive grinding requirements inherent in the design, new manufacturing techniques and economies of scale have allowed square rails to compete effectively in a broader application space. Once subjugated to the realm of machine tools, profile rails...
