THOMSON SUPER24OPN SUPER BALL BUSHING LINEAR BEARING

Description:

The Thomson SUPER24OPN 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 continuously supported round shafts. Commonly installed in CNC machines, industrial automation equipment, robotics, packaging machinery, semiconductor equipment, and material handling systems, this open-style linear bearing features five ball circuits, an adjustable self-aligning design, and engineered polymer retainers for low-friction, high-speed operation. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this part for repair, retrofit, expansion, or replacement of continuously supported round shaft linear guide systems.

Applications:

The Thomson SUPER24OPN is designed for continuously supported Class L shaft applications requiring high precision, smooth motion, and long service life. Its open bearing configuration accommodates supported shafting, while the self-aligning and adjustable design compensates for shaft misalignment and provides accurate, repeatable movement. It is widely used in CNC machining centers, robotics, semiconductor equipment, automated assembly systems, packaging machinery, material handling equipment, and custom OEM linear motion applications.
