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 SuperSmart ball bushing bearings are available in sizes .5 in to 1.5 in, 8 mm to 40mm.

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 derating 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.
