THOMSON SUPER24 SUPER BALL BUSHING LINEAR BEARING

Description:

The Thomson SUPER24 Super Ball Bushing Linear Bearing is used in precision linear motion systems to provide smooth, self-aligning linear travel on 1.500-inch Class L round shafts. Commonly installed in CNC machines, industrial automation equipment, robotics, packaging machinery, semiconductor equipment, and material handling systems, this closed-style linear bearing features six ball circuits, engineered polymer retainers, and a lightweight, low-friction design for accurate, repeatable motion. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this part for repair, retrofit, expansion, or replacement of precision round shaft linear guide systems.

Applications:

The Thomson SUPER24 is designed for end-supported Class L shaft applications requiring high load capacity, precise positioning, and long service life. Its self-aligning design compensates for minor shaft misalignment, while the adjustable bearing plates allow accurate diametrical fit-up, making it ideal for CNC machining centers, robotics, automated assembly equipment, packaging machinery, semiconductor manufacturing, inspection systems, and other high-precision OEM linear motion applications.
