Thomson SPB 6 Super Pillow Block on 3/8 x 15-3/8 Rod 14 Travel Black Mounts

Description:

The Thomson SPB6 Super Pillow Block Linear Slide Assembly is used in precision linear motion systems requiring smooth, self-aligning travel and rigid shaft support. Commonly installed in CNC machines, industrial automation equipment, packaging machinery, test fixtures, and material handling systems, this assembly includes a Thomson SPB6 Super Pillow Block mounted on dual 3/8-inch precision shafts measuring 15-3/8 inches in length with approximately 14 inches of usable travel. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this linear slide assembly for repair, retrofit, expansion, or replacement of compact linear guide systems.

Applications:

The Thomson SPB6 linear slide assembly is commonly used in robotics, pick-and-place equipment, automated inspection systems, packaging machinery, laboratory automation, machine guarding, and custom OEM equipment requiring accurate, low-friction linear movement over a 14-inch travel distance. The black support mounts provide rigid end support for stable operation in light- to medium-duty industrial applications.
