Thomson offers the world's largest selection of state-of-the-art linear bearings. Choose from several families of inch or metric linear bearings and accessories to meet your specific design needs, including our Super Smart Ball Bushings, which offer load capacities up to 7760 lb. When used with RoundRail linear guides, the inherent self-aligning-in-all-directions design of these linear bearings allows for ultra-smooth travel when mounted to wider-toleranced prepared surfaces. When used with Thomson 60 Case® shafting, our linear bearings last up to 50% longer than conventional bearings.
Jayme Stockton, Thomson Product Specialist, describes the advantages of replacing linear bearings early during scheduled system maintenance and the cost savings associated versus unplanned, costly shut downs. Learn what to look and listen for when bearings begin to deteriorate over long term use - catch your failures early, keep throughput at a maximum.

Customer ServiceFor Ball bushing bearings this is the “Dynamic” load capacity: The Dynamic Load Capacity is based on a rated travel life of 2 million inches for Inch sizes, or 100 KM for Metric sizes. The actual Dynamic Load Capacity can be affected by the orientation of the bearing or the direction of the applied load. For dynamic load correction factors see polar graphs in the catalog.
For FluoroNyliner Bushings this is the “Maximum Static” Load Capacity: Never exceed the maximum load capacity.
Bearing working bore diameter is adjustable. For a Bushing only this requires changing the diameter of the housing. In pillow blocks the housing has an adjustment screw.
For more information on how a linear bearing is adjustable click here.
Ability to compensate for misalignment.
On Super and Super Smart bearings and pillow blocks the option provides stainless steel balls and plated bearing plates. For Super Smart, the outer band is also plated.
For use in keeping contaminates out of the bearing.
Used to reduce noise in bearing operation. Available in full nylon balls replacing carbon steel balls (-NB) and alternating nylon and carbon steel balls (-NBA). Load capacity is reduced.
Bushings are bulk packaged instead of individually boxed, reducing time spent unpackaging before installation.
Bushing has an oil hole.
Designed for use in food applications.
Pillow block with two bearings.
Bushing is packed without any rust preventative oil or lubricant. Most often used when a special lubricant (i.e. Vacuum grease) is being applied by the customer during installation and there is concern about possible incompatibilities between the fluids.
Self-lubricating cartridges are pressed into each end of the pillow block housing, and the linear bearing is lubricated initially with EP2 grease.
Bearing is lubricated with Thomson Linear Lube prior to packing.
For a bushing bearing it is the nominal outside diameter of the mating shaft.
Estimated time until the product ships. Shipping time not included.
