WOOD DALE, IL – Thomson introduces Thomson Stainless Steel “A” Ball Bushing bearings. These Ball Bushing bearings feature all steel construction for rust and corrosion resistance, while aiming to provide maximum system rigidity in the most challenging application environments, including vacuum, ozone and mild radiation, even in temperatures up to 600ºF (315ºC), the company claims.
Thomson Stainless Steel “A” Ball Bushing bearings claim to deliver steady state travel speeds up to 10 ft/s (3 m/s) and accelerations to 450 ft/s2 (150 m/s2), without the use of derating factors. They also have a coefficient of friction as low as 0.001 to allow machine builders to use smaller, less expensive motors, belts, gears and ball screws in their machines when replacing high friction, plain bearings.
Thomson Stainless Steel “A” Ball Bushing bearings are available in ¼, 3/8, ½, 5/8, ¾ and 1 in. sizes as standard, with adjustable, closed and open configurations. They feature industry standard dimensions for direct interchange with competitive and legacy applications. Two accuracy classes provide immediate improvements in system positioning and repeatability, while a self-aligning pillow block housing facilitates easy installation and use.
