RoundWay Roller Bearings
Thomson invented the RoundWay® Linear roller bearing for use in high load, heavy duty applications. The RoundWay bearing combines the high load capacity of hardened and ground steel recirculating rollers with a rigid malleable iron mounting block providing high load capacity with smooth linear travel. The chain-connected rollers allow the RoundWay to travel at extremely high speeds in unforgiving, contaminated environments.
