Product Spotlight: Ball-Bushing Bearings
With a coefficient of friction as low as 0.002, Thomson Super Ball Bushing bearings permit the use of smaller, less-expensive motors, belts, gears, and ball screws in place of high-friction plain bearings.
A
self-aligning capability up to 0.5°
automatically compensates for inaccuracies
in base flatness or carriage
machining. The bearings come in
adjustable, closed, and open configurations
and feature acceleration
rates to 150 m/sec″; steady-state
travel speeds to 3 m/sec without
derating factors; double-lip integral
wipers that keep contaminants out
and retain lubrication; and lightweight,
wear-resistant polymer
retainers and outer sleeves that reduce
inertia and noise. The bearings
are available in metric sizes 16, 20,
25, 30, 40 and 50 mm.
