Product OverviewPhone: 1-800-554-8466Website: www.thomsonballbushing.comThomson Linear Motion ComponentsThe RoundRail* AdvantageDie Set <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong>* <strong>Bearing</strong>sAvailable in two accuracy classes and suitable for a varietyof industrial applications.Thomson Die Set <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearings are designed to fit the mountingholes of the punch holder in standard dies. When replacing high frictionplain bearings in standard dies, the result is less machine downtime andincreased efficiency. With steady state speeds up to 10 ft/s, the Die Setbearing will provide faster cycle times, with improvements in productionrates realized immediately. Matched precision ground 60 Case*LinearRace* allows for a close fit-up between the shaft and theLinearRace shafting and bearing providing critical die alignment. Whennormal machine service requires bearing replacement, the Die Set bearingcan be removed by simply unbolting the toe clamps. Available in1, 1 1 ⁄4, 1 1 ⁄2 and 2 inch sizes from over 1800 distributors worldwide.(See Page 84)XR* <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> <strong>Bearing</strong> ProductsHigh load capacity and rigidity combined with theRoundRail Advantage.The XR <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing provides five times the load capacity or125 times the life of conventional linear bearings. This increase in bearingperformance significantly reduces downtime and maintenance, whileincreasing machine reliability. When replacing v-ways and flat-ways, XR<strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearings allow travel speeds up to 5 ft/s and accelerationsup to 225 ft/s 2 without a sharp increase in power consumption. XR <strong>Ball</strong><strong>Bushing</strong> bearings also provide three times the rigidity of conventional<strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearings reducing deflection in critical machining applications.Pillow Blocks are available with factory installed XR <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong>bearings and integral seals. 60 Case LinearRace shafting available premountedon standard extra rigid LinearRace support rails. Available in 2,3 and 4 inch sizes from over 1800 distributors worldwide. (See Page 98)RoundWay* Linear Roller <strong>Bearing</strong>sLow friction roller bearings with up to 20 times the loadcapacity of conventional linear bearings.These patented, self-aligning linear roller bearings have over 20 timesthe load capacity of a conventional linear ball bearing. This dramaticincrease in bearing load capacity allows designers to optimize systemcompactness and minimize hardware costs. Combining the self-aligningfeature with the RoundRail Advantage minimizes installation time andassures trouble-free operation. RoundWay and RoundWay II bearingscan achieve operating speeds up to 10 ft/s without the derating factorscommonly seen with linear guides. When normal machine maintenanceis required, RoundWay bearings can be quickly and cost-effectivelyreplaced, without scrapping the entire system, a major problem whenservicing some linear guides. RoundWay bearings are available fromover 1800 authorized distributors worldwide. (See Page 110)Page 6©2003 Danaher Motion. Printed in the U.S.A.

<strong>Super</strong> <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> <strong>Bearing</strong>Phone: 1-800-554-8466Website: www.thomsonballbushing.com<strong>Super</strong> <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> <strong>Bearing</strong>The new <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong>* bearing representsa major advancement in linear bearing technologyworldwide. The <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearingoffers twice the load capacity or eight times the travellife of the industry standard Thomson <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Ball</strong><strong>Bushing</strong>* bearing. An enormous technological breakthrough,considering the <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearingalready offers three times the load capacity or twentyseventimes the travel life of conventional linearbearings.Technologically Advanced DesignThe load carrying component of the <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Ball</strong><strong>Bushing</strong> bearing is the combination of four hardenedbearing quality steel components (Figures 1 & 2).Double Track<strong>Bearing</strong> PlateHardenedPrecision RingThe first component is the steel outer ring, which allowsthe bearing to maintain its diametrical fit-up even wheninstalled in a housing that is slightly out-of-round. Theunique ring design also allows for bearing adjustmentand the removal of diametrical clearance. The secondcomponent is the precision super finished double trackbearing plate that provides twice the load capacity andfeatures universal self-alignment.Figure 2RetainerHardenedPrecision RingDouble Track<strong>Bearing</strong> PlateThe third component is the rolling element. Each <strong>Super</strong><strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing utilizes precision groundballs manufactured to the highest quality standards forroundness and sphericity. The result is maximum loadcapacity, travel life and performance.The last component is the 60 Case* LinearRace* shaftthat acts as the inner race to the <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Ball</strong><strong>Bushing</strong> bearing. Each 60 Case LinearRace shaft ismanufactured to the highest quality standards forroundness, straightness, surface finish and hardness.Roundness is held under eighty millionths of an inch;straightness to .002 inches per foot; surface finishunder twelve microinch and hardness between 60-65HRC. The combination of inner and outer race or 60Case LinearRace shaft and <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong>bearing provides the basis for the RoundRail*Advantage.Cross-section of <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Smart</strong><strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> <strong>Bearing</strong>Figure 1The RoundRail AdvantageThe RoundRail Advantage is the inherent ability of a<strong>Super</strong> <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing system to accommodatetorsional misalignment (caused by inaccuracies incarriage or base machining or by machine deflection) withlittle increase in stress to bearing components.

The universal self-alignment feature assures that the<strong>Super</strong> <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing will achieve maximumperformance regarding load capacity, travel life, smoothoperation and coefficient of friction. The three componentsthat make up universal self-alignment are Rock, Roll andYaw.LOADSSUHardenedPrecision RingDoubleLip Wiper0.5ºClose-up of double track bearing plates showing howthey self-align (roll) to evenly distribute the load on eachof their two ball tracks.Figure 5Figure 3RollThe second key design feature of the <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Ball</strong><strong>Bushing</strong> bearing plate is its ability to Roll. The bearing plate isdesigned with the radius of its outer surface smaller than theinside radius of the precision outer ring (Figure 5). This allowsthe bearing plate to compensate for torsional misalignmentand evenly distribute the load on each of its two ball tracks.The roll component assures maximum load capacity andtravel life.RockThe bearing plate is designed to rock 0.5º about the hardenedprecision ground outer ring (Figures 3 & 4). This self-aligningfeature allows the <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing toabsorb misalignment caused by inaccuracies in housing borealignment or 60 Case* LinearRace* shaft deflection.This rocking capability provides smooth entry and exit of theprecision balls into and out of the load zone assuring aconstant low coefficient of friction. By compensating formisalignment, each bearing ball in the load carrying area isuniformly loaded providing maximum load capacity.<strong>Bearing</strong> plates rotate about their center to preventskewing relative to the 60 Case LinearRace shaft.Figure 6Close-up of hardened precision ring, showing howthe bearing plate self-aligns (rocks) about thecurved surface of the ring.Figure 4YawThe shape formed by the Rock and Roll features allows the<strong>Super</strong> <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing plate to rotate about itscenter (Figure 6). This allows the <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong>bearing to absorb skew caused by misalignment. The resultis a constant low coefficient of friction and maximum bearingperformance.©2003 Danaher Motion. Printed in the U.S.A.

<strong>Super</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> <strong>Bearing</strong><strong>Super</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> <strong>Bearing</strong> ProductsPhone: 1-800-554-8466Website: www.thomsonballbushing.comFigure 1The <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong>* bearing hasbeen the industry standard for selfaligninglinear bearings for over twentyyears. This bearing provides threetimes the load capacity or 27 timesthe travel life of conventional linearbearings. This dramatic improvementin bearing performance significantlyreduces downtime and maintenance,while increasing machine reliability.Thomson Industries, Inc. invented the<strong>Super</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing with manyunique design features. Besides thedramatic increase in load capacity,the <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing is selfaligning,light weight and adjustablewith a low coefficient of friction(Figure 1).Figure 2<strong>Bearing</strong>Plate60 CaseLinearRaceFigure 3<strong>Bearing</strong>Plate<strong>Ball</strong>sThree Times the Load CapacityThe bearing plates are hardened,bearing quality steel with ballconforming grooves (Figure 2). Thegroove is slightly larger than the balldiameter, providing an optimal areafor ball contact. The greater ball tobearing plate contact provides theincrease in load capacity or travel life.Zero Clearance FitThe bearing plates are also designedto float radially (Figure 3). When thebearing is mounted in an adjustablehousing, selected fit-ups can beachieved on the 60 Case* LinearRace*(shaft).Figure 4Cross-Section of <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> <strong>Bearing</strong>0.5º60 CaseLinearRaceSelf-AligningThe <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing platespivot .5º about their centers (Figure 4)to assure smooth entry and exit of theprecision bearing balls. Each platealigns itself automatically tocompensate for inaccurate housingbore alignment, base flatness orcarriage machining. This providesuniform ball loading, smooth ballrecirculation and a constantcoefficient of friction.Smooth, Quiet OperationThe <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing’souter sleeve and retainer are made ofwear-resistant, low-friction engineeringpolymer. It reduces inertia andoperating noise levels significantly.Page 38©2003 Danaher Motion. Printed in the U.S.A.

The actual Dynamic Load Capacity can be affected by theorientation of the bearing or the direction of the applied load. For dynamic load correction factors see polar graphs below.(2)For part number description and specifications see page 42 and 43. Note: For additional technical data, see Engineering Support Appendix.SUPERPolar GraphsThe actual Dynamic Load Capacity of a <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing is determined by the orientation of the bearing or direction of the applied load. The load CorrectionFactor K 0 is found by knowing the direction of the applied load relative to the orientation of the bearings ball tracks and referring to the polar graph. To determinethe actual Dynamic Load Capacity, multiply the proper correction factor by the Dynamic Load Capacity listed in the product table on the previous page.K 0K 0 K 0SUPER 3SUPER 4SUPER 6SUPER 8SUPER 10 SUPER 12SUPER 16SUPER 20SUPER 24SUPER 32©2003 Danaher Motion.

The actual Dynamic Load Capacity can be affected by the orientation of the bearing orthe direction of the applied load. For dynamic load correction factors see polar graphs below. Dynamic load capacity of <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> Twin Pillow Blocks isbased on two bearings equally loaded.(2)For part number description and specifications see page 42 and 43.Note: For additional technical data, see Engineering Support Appendix.Polar GraphsThe actual Dynamic Load Capacity of a <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing is determined by the orientation of the bearing or direction of the applied load. The load CorrectionFactor K 0 is found by knowing the direction of the applied load relative to the orientation of the bearings ball tracks and referring to the polar graph. To determine theactual Dynamic Load Capacity, multiply the proper correction factor by the Dynamic Load Capacity listed in the product table on the previous page..50.63.63.751.001.251.501.75(Dimensions in inches)G JMassHole Boltlb.18 #8 .25 .3.21 #10 .31 .6.27.271 ⁄4⁄4.31.38.8.9SUPERK 0K 0 K 0TWN-4 (-ADJ)TWN-6 (-ADJ)TWN-8 (-ADJ)TWN-10 (-ADJ)TWN-12 (-ADJ)TWN-16 (-ADJ)TWN-20 (-ADJ)TWN-24 (-ADJ)©2003 Danaher Motion.

Precision Steel <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> <strong>Bearing</strong>Phone: 1-800-554-8466Website: www.thomsonballbushing.comPrecision Steel <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> <strong>Bearing</strong>sThe basis for the performance of all Precision Steel<strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong>* bearings is a simple but ingenioussystem of ball recirculation that permits almostfrictionless, unlimited travel.Adjusting ScrewReplace High Friction Plain <strong>Bearing</strong>sPlain bearings cause friction, stick-slip, binding andchatter. The Precision Steel <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing’spatented ball recirculation virtually eliminates wearand provides a constant coefficient of friction as lowas .001. This dramatic reduction in friction allows thedesigner to use smaller less expensive drive motors,ball screws, belts, linkages and gears.3ºLasting Precision AlignmentHigh friction plain bearings cause wear resulting in aloss in system alignment and repeatability. EachPrecision Steel <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing is manufacturedwith high quality bearing steel that is hardened andprecision ground. The rolling elements of each <strong>Ball</strong><strong>Bushing</strong> bearing are precision ground bearing ballsthat recirculate freely into and out of the load zone.The balls are guided through their recirculation pathby a steel retainer and hardened sleeve. The inherentnon-wear characteristics of each Precision Steel <strong>Ball</strong><strong>Bushing</strong> bearing assures maximum system accuracyand repeatability.When the Precision Steel <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearingis installed in its standard Pillow Block it willself-align up to 3 degrees in all directions.Hardened andPrecision GroundSleevePrecision Steel <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> <strong>Bearing</strong>Cross-sectionRetainerHigh Travel SpeedsPrecision Steel <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> can operate at travel ratesas high as 10 ft/s and accelerations as high as 450ft/s2. When replacing inefficient v-way or flat-waysystems, this travel rate capability provides immediateimprovements in machine efficiency and productivity.Ease of InstallationThe Precision Steel <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing can beretained in a housing, internally or externally. Theretaining ring groove on the outside diameter allowsthe bearing to be captured and retained by an externalretaining ring. If internal retention is required, the <strong>Ball</strong><strong>Bushing</strong> bearing can be installed in a housing and heldin place with an internal retaining ring.Protection from ContaminationPrecision Steel <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearings most popularsizes are available with double acting integral wipersthat keep out contamination, retain lubrication andmaximize travel life.Page 68©2003 Danaher Motion.

The actual Dynamic Load Capacity can be affected by the orientation of the bearingor the direction of the applied load. For dynamic load correction factors see polar graphs below.(2)For part number description and specifications see page 72 and 73.Note: Precision Steel <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearings are available in corrosion resistant stainless steel in diameters up to 1 inch. Dynamic load ratings are reduced by 30%when using stainless steel <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearings. See Engineering Support Appendix page 136. For additional technical data, see Engineering Support Appendix.Polar GraphsThe actual Dynamic Load Capacity of a <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing is determined by the orientation of the bearing or direction of the applied load. The load CorrectionFactor K 0 is found by knowing the direction of the applied load relative to the orientation of the bearings ball tracks and referring to the polar graph. To determinethe actual Dynamic Load Capacity, multiply the proper correction factor by the Dynamic Load Capacity listed in the product table on the previous page.KK 0K 0K 00A-406080A-487296A-6496128.50.63.63.751.001.251.501.75(Dimensions in inches)G JMassHole Boltlb.18 #8 .25 .3.21 #10 .31 .6.27.271 ⁄4⁄4.31.38.8.9A-4812A-61014A-81420A-101824A-122026A-162536A-203242A-243848A-324864©2003 Danaher Motion.

These improvements are centeredaround four technologically advanced components, the XR <strong>Ball</strong><strong>Bushing</strong> bearing, the XPBO <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> pillow block, the XL 60Case* LinearRace* (shaft) and the XSR 60 Case LinearRace supportrail.DEFLECTION (INCHES)0.00350.00300.00250.00200.00150.00100.0005XSR 60 Case LinearRace Support RailXR 32 (2")XL 60 CaseLinearRaceXBPOExtra-RigidOpen PillowBlock0.00000 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 6000 7000 8000 9000 10000RADIAL Radial LOAD Load (POUNDS) lb fDEFLECTION CURVESXR 48 (3")Figure 1Figure 2XR <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> <strong>Bearing</strong>The dramatic increase in load capacity and/ortravel life is provided by the XR <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing'sadvanced plate design. Each ball conformingbearing plate is precision ground providingsmooth and virtually friction free linear movement.The bearing plate length has also been maximizedto increase the number of rolling elements in theload carrying zone. The position of each XR bearingplate helps to maximize the load capacity inboth pull-off and down loading conditions.XPBO <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> Pillow BlockEach XR <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing can be housed ina rigid ductile iron pillow block (Figure 1). TheXPBO pillow block provides the stiffness requiredin high load applications (Figure 2). Each XPBO isequipped with four mounting holes for easyassembly to the table surface.XL 60 Case LinearRaceAvailable factory mounted to XSR 60 CaseLinearRace support rail is a hardened andprecision ground 60 Case LinearRace (Figure 1).Each 60 Case LinearRace is ground to a surfacefinish less than 10 Ra microinch and is straight to.001 inch per foot cumulative. Roundness of each60 Case LinearRace is controlled through proprietarytechniques that results in a roundness of 80millionths of an inch. Each XL 60 Case LinearRaceis held to these world class quality standard toassure maximum system performance and travellife.XSR 60 Case LinearRace Support RailsRigidity always starts by continuously supportingthe 60 Case LinearRace and bearing system(Figure 1). The large ductile iron alloy crosssectionof the XSR provides maximum rigidity andstiffness (Figure 2). The increased number ofstandard 60 Case LinearRace mounting holes addfurther stiffness and stability to the system.The RoundRail AdvantageThe RoundRail Advantage is the inherent ability ofan XR <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing system to accommodatetorsional misalignment (caused by inaccuraciesin carriage or base machining or by machinedeflection) with little increase in stress to bearingcomponents. Installation time and cost are minimizedand system performance is maximized.Page 96©2003 Danaher Motion. Printed in the U.S.A.

EachRoundWay bearing combines the high load capacity ofhardened and ground steel recirculating rollers with arigid malleable iron pillow block providing extremelyhigh load capacity with smooth linear travel. TheRoundWay linear roller bearing comes in both a singleand dual version. A single RoundWay linear roller bearingdoes not resist side loads and is therefore alwaysused in conjunction with a dual version, unless used ina configuration as shown in Figures 2, 3 and 4 onpage 105.Each RoundWay linear roller bearing is designed foruse on 60 Case LinearRace. The 60 Case* LinearRace*shaft an be continuously supported using type LSR,SR, FLSR or XSR 60 Case LinearRace support rails orintermittently supported using the adjustableWaymount* LinearRace supports type WM.The RoundWay linear roller bearing consists of fourbasic parts: the bearing race, the roller assembly, theeccentric trunnion pin and the mounting block. Therolling elements of a RoundWay linear roller bearing area series of concave rollers interconnected and linkedby a chain assembly. As load is applied to themounting block it is transferred through the bearingrace and roller assembly to the supported 60 CaseLinearRace. Connecting the mounting block to theRoundWaybearing and roller assembly is an eccentric trunnion pinthat allows the height of the RoundWay linear rollerbearing to be adjusted to compensate for variations inthe mounting surfaces or the build-up of tolerancesbetween component elements. The eccentric trunnionpin can also be used to preload the RoundWay bearingby eliminating internal bearing clearance. After theeccentric trunnion pin has been adjusted it can be heldin place by simply tightening the lock screw.Self-AligningThe RoundWay single and dual bearings are designedwith a built-in self-aligning capability that absorbsmisalignment caused by inaccuracies in carriage orbase machining. The RoundWay single bearing has anadditional built-in self-aligning capability that allows itto absorb misalignment caused by two slightly outof parallel 60 Case LinearRace ways. This feature isrealized when two RoundWay single bearings aremounted on one 60 Case LinearRace and two dualRoundWay bearings are on a parallel 60 CaseLinearRace (Figure 1 on page 105).Page 104©2003 Danaher Motion.

Continuous400 ft/min. Intermittent400 ft/min. Continuous1500 psi10,000 psi ft/minDynamic: The coefficient of friction is dependent upon both the pressure and the velocity.Pressure: Coefficient of friction decreases rapidly with increase in pressure.Velocity: Coefficient of friction increases with an increase in velocity, and quickly stabilizes.For example, at 100 psi, the coefficient of friction is approximately 0.25 for velocities of100ft/min and higher.COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION VS.

SPEED(AT 100 P.S.I.)COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION ()COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION ()LOAD (PSI)SLIDING SPEED (S.F.P.M.)Wear Rates and Life Expectancy:I) Wear rates: The wear rates of a plain bearing are dependent upon a number of variables, includingcharacteristics of the counter-face, velocity, lubrication, load and contamination. Tests conducted onFNYBU-16 bearings operating in the linear mode at approximately 70 ft/min, and at a pressure ofapproximately 33 psi, demonstrated an average radial wear change of 0.0011 inches, after 80 millioninches of travel. This yields the following formula:Where:W R = 14x(10 -6 )xTW R = Radial Wear (micro-inches)T = Travel (inches)II)Life expectancy: The life expectancy may be calculated from the wear rate. This is normallyassociated with the allowable radial clearance for a given application. The absolute wear limit isthe bearing material thickness, which is 0.028 inches.Page 124©2003 Danaher Motion.

EngineeringPerformance CriteriaThe following performance criteria relates to the use, installation andspecification of Thomson <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong>* bearings. Each performancecriteria plays an important role in maximizing system effectivenessand life.Figure 1Phone: 1-800-554-8466Website: www.thomsonballbushing.comHardenedPrecision RingDynamic Load CapacityThe Dynamic load capacity of a <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing is determinedby the reaction between the rolling elements and the inner and outerrace. The rolling elements in a <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing are a series ofhardened and precision ground bearing balls. The inner race is ahardened and precision ground 60 Case LinearRace.RetainerDouble Track<strong>Bearing</strong> PlateCross-section of <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> <strong>Bearing</strong>The outer race can be a hardened and precision ground, ballconforming, steel bearing plate or a hardened and precision groundsteel bearing sleeve. The dynamic load capacity is also affected bythe orientation of the ball tracks, the size of the balls, the shape ofthe ball conforming groove, the number of balls that are in loadcontact and more.Since the introduction of the <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing in 1945, DanaherMotion has designed and developed <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing productsthat have continuously achieved dramatic increases in dynamic loadcapacity and life. Our most recent innovation is the <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Ball</strong><strong>Bushing</strong> bearing which has six times the dynamic load capacity or216 times greater life than the traditional <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing.Figure 2Precision groundbearing platePrecision groundbearing ballsThis increase in load capacity was achieved by maximizing the loadreaction between the inner and outer races. This break-through inload capacity rivals that of linear guides while still retaining theadded benefits of the RoundRail* Advantage.The dynamic load capacity of all Thomson <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearings isbased on a L 10 life of two million inches of travel. The dynamic loadcapacity can be affected by the orientation of the bearing withrespect to the load or the direction of the applied load. A polar graphis included with each product specification to assist you in maximizingthe dynamic load capacity as well as the performance of the<strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing. To determine the actual dynamic load capacityenter the polar graph with the applied load direction until it intersectsthe polar curve. Next, multiply the proper correction factor by thedynamic load capacity listed in each product specification table.Figure 3Cross-section of XR <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> <strong>Bearing</strong><strong>Bearing</strong>Plate<strong>Ball</strong>sCross-section of <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> <strong>Bearing</strong>Polar GraphK 0Figure 4Hardened andPrecision GroundSleeveRetainerCross-section of Precision Steel <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> <strong>Bearing</strong>Page 132©2003 Danaher Motion.

Phone: 1-800-554-8466Website: www.thomsonballbushing.comCoefficient of FrictionThe coefficient of friction of Thomson <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong>* bearings rangesfrom 0.001 to 0.004. There are two components of the coefficient offriction, the rolling or operating friction and the static or breakawayfriction.Coefficient of Rolling FrictionThe rolling coefficient of friction is measured by the force required tooperate the <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> at a constant rate of travel. The formula fordetermining frictional resistance during operation is as follows:P f = P x f rWhere,P f = Frictional resistance (lbf)P = Resultant of externally applied loads (lbf)f r = Coefficient of rolling frictionThe following table describes the coefficient of rolling friction of <strong>Ball</strong><strong>Bushing</strong> bearings operating on Thomson 60 Case* LinearRace*.These values are grouped according to the number of ball circuits ineach bearing. Friction coefficients are constant among bearingshaving three and four ball circuits, but slightly less for bearings withfive or six ball circuits. A dry <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing has the lowestcoefficient of friction due to the complete absence of lubricantsurface tension effects. Values for grease lubrication ranges from100% greater in the smaller sizes to 20% to 50% greater in thelarger sizes. Oil lubrication (medium/heavy, viscosity 64 cs @ 100ºF)achieves frictional values slightly higher than those for greaselubrication.<strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing coefficients of rolling friction (f r )Load in % of Rolling Load Rating<strong>Bearing</strong>I.D.1/4, 3/8,1/2, 5/83/4, 11 1/4thru 45/8 thru1 1/2Numberof <strong>Ball</strong>Circuits3 & 45610Conditionof(for 2,000,000 inches of travel)Lubrication 125% 100% 75% 50% 25%No Lube .0011 .0011 .0012 .0016 .0025Grease Lube .0019 .0021 .0024 .0029 .0044Oil Lube .0022 .0023 .0027 .0032 .0045No Lube .0011 .0011 .0012 .0015 .0022Grease Lube .0018 .0019 .0021 .0024 .0033Oil Lube .0020 .0021 .0023 .0027 .0036No Lube .0011 .0011 .0012 .0014 .0019Grease Lube .0016 .0016 .0017 .0018 .0022Oil Lube .0018 .0018 .0019 .0021 .0027No Lube .0011 .0011 .0012 .0013 .0018Grease Lube .0014 .0014 .0015 .0016 .0019Oil Lube .0016 .0016 .0017 .0019 .0025Coefficient of Static FrictionThe coefficient of static or breakaway friction is measured by theforce required to initiate <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing movement.The formula used to determine static frictional resistance is:EngineeringSeal DragAnother variable that affects the frictional resistance in a <strong>Ball</strong><strong>Bushing</strong> bearing system is seal drag. When seals are used to retainlubricant or to prevent entry of foreign particles, frictional resistancemust be taken into account for determining total frictional drag. Inapplications where contamination is minimal, the seals can beremoved to reduce frictional drag. In highly contaminatedapplications, seals, wipers and or scrapers are used to minimize theingress of contamination into the bearing. This protective measureadds to the frictional drag of the bearing system. There is a fine linebetween minimizing frictional drag and maximizing contaminantprotection which is controlled by the addition or removal of seals,wipers or scrapers. In applications that require low frictional drag inhighly contaminated environments, contact Thomson applicationengineering.LubricationAll Thomson <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearings require a small amount of greaseor oil to operate. For most applications, lubricant is recommendedto prevent wearing and rusting of the bearing surfaces. When linearspeeds are high, a light oil should be used and the bearing shouldbe prevented from running dry for a prolonged period of time. Amedium to heavy oil or light grease has greater adhesion propertiesthat afford longer bearing protection and minimize sealing problems.The numerous built-in pockets in the <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing retainerallow grease to be stored for an extended period of time. Thoughnot generally recommended, in some lightly loaded, low speed andhighly contaminated applications, <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearings have beenused without lubrication. For these types of applications contactThomson application engineering.All Thomson <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearings are shipped with a rustpreventative oil. It is recommended that you lubricate the <strong>Ball</strong><strong>Bushing</strong> bearing prior to installation and periodically duringoperation to assure that the <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing does not run dry.For periodic relubrication, most Thomson <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> Pillow Blocksare equipped with an access for lubrication.Danaher Motion can provide a specially formulated lubricant,specifically developed to meet a broad range of linear bearingapplications. Thomson LinearLube* lubricant is a synthetic lubricantthat utilizes suspended Teflon ® in a specially formulated compound.LinearLube lubricant provides excellent performance characteristicsin a wide range of applications. It is FDA listed, non-polluting andnon-corrosive.

EngineeringPhone: 1-800-554-8466Website: www.thomsonballbushing.comPerformance Criteria ContinuedThe RoundRail AdvantageThe RoundRail* Advantage is the inherent ability of a <strong>Ball</strong><strong>Bushing</strong> bearing to accommodate torsional misalignment(caused by inaccuracies in carriage or base machining or bymachine deflection) with little increase in stress to bearingcomponents (Figure 4). This important feature to all Thomson<strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong>* bearing systems reduces installation time and∆HFigure 4Figure 5cost, while maximizing performance.<strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> <strong>Bearing</strong> vs. Linear GuideThe major difference between a <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing and linearguide system is primarily in the design of the inner race. Thelinear guide inner race has two, four or six ground grooves thatguides the carriage and the precision balls. Due to the ballconforming nature of the grooves, the carriage is preventedfrom accommodating torsional misalignment (Figure 5). Iforsional misalignment is introduced to a linear guide system,the component stress increases, reducing life and performance.In a <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing system the inner race is a hardenedand ground 60 Case* LinearRace*. Due to the lack of groundgrooves, the <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing system can accommodatetorsional misalignment and operate without added stress tobearing components.60 Case LinearRace/<strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> <strong>Bearing</strong> Fit-upThere are three basic fit-up conditions of a <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearingand 60 Case LinearRace, clearance, line-to-line and preload. Inmost product sections there are specification tables that detailthe <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing working bore diameter and 60 CaseLinearRace diameter tolerance as well as the fit-up betweenthem. The clearance, line-to-line and preload conditions areshown by the abbreviation C for clearance, P for preload and.0000 for a line-to-line condition.ClearanceThe clearance between a <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Smart</strong> and <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong>bearing and a 60 Case LinearRace is a function of the <strong>Ball</strong><strong>Bushing</strong> bearing working bore diameter and the diameter toleranceof the 60 Case LinearRace. The working bore diameter ofa <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Smart</strong> or <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing is a function ofthe housing bore diameter tolerance. In applications where highaccuracy and repeatability is not required, clearance is acceptable.Clearance can be achieved by following the recommendedhousing bore guidelines found in the product specificationsections. To check for a clearance condition, simply rotate the60 Case LinearRace inside the <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Smart</strong> or <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Ball</strong><strong>Bushing</strong> bearing while installed in a housing bore. If you canfreely rotate the 60 Case LinearRace then a clearance conditionis present.The clearance between the fixed diameter Precision Steel <strong>Ball</strong><strong>Bushing</strong> bearing and the 60 Case LinearRace is a function ofthe <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> working bore and the 60 Case LinearRacediameter. When this <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing is used with therecommended 60 Case LinearRace a clearance condition willalways exist. For more details see the product specificationsections.PreloadIn applications where accuracy and repeatability are critical, the<strong>Super</strong> <strong>Smart</strong>, <strong>Super</strong> and Precision Steel <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearingscan be adjusted to a preload fit-up. The <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Smart</strong> and <strong>Super</strong><strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearings are inherently adjustable and wheninstalled in a adjustable housing bore a preload condition canbe achieved. In a nonadjustable housing a preload conditioncan be obtained by making the size of the housing bore smalleror by increasing the diameter of the 60 Case LinearRace. Totest for a preload condition in an adjustable or nonadjustablehousing, simply rotate the 60 Case LinearRace inside the <strong>Ball</strong><strong>Bushing</strong> bearing while it is installed in the housing bore. If aslight drag is felt then a preload condition is present. When anadjustable housing is used the preload can be altered slightly.The <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Smart</strong> and <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing are moretolerant to preload than the Precision Steel <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing.Preload on a <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Smart</strong> and <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearingshould be a maximum of .001 inch per inch of 60 CaseLinearRace diameter. Preload on a Precision Steel <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong>bearing should be a maximum of .0001 inch per inch of 60Case LinearRace diameter. When all <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearings arepreloaded, extra care must be taken in mounting the 60 CaseLinearRace parallel.Line-to-LineA line-to-line fit-up condition between a <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearingand 60 Case LinearRace is when no clearance or preload ispresent. A line-to-line fit-up can be achieved in an adjustable orfixed diameter housing.

Engineering<strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> <strong>Bearing</strong> Life Expectancyand Load CapacityThere are many factors that affect <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong>* bearing travellife such as 60 Case* LinearRace* hardness, the resultant load,the direction of the resultant load and <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing orientation.The dynamic load capacities and travel life graphsgiven in the specification tables found in each product sectionare based on a load applied at 90º relative to the horizontalplane with the <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing oriented as shown in eachcorresponding polar graph. The dynamic load capacity is alsobased on using only Thomson specified 60 Case LinearRacethat is hardened to HRC 60 minimum.For considerations other than those described above, the followingformula is used:W R =PK O •K S •K LWhere:W R = required dynamic load capacity (lb f )P = resultant of externally applied loads (lb f )K O = factor for direction of resultant loadK S = shaft hardness factor(Equals 1.0 for 60 Case LinearRace)= load correction factorK LTravel LifeThe load correction factor, K L , can be found from Figure 1.

EngineeringPhone: 1-800-554-8466Website: www.thomsonballbushing.comInstallation GuidelinesThomson <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearings are manufactured to exceptionallyclose tolerances and offer smooth, virtually friction-freelinear motion. The performance features of the bearings will onlybe realized, however, if care is taken during their installation.Figure 1Two areas of primary importance are the bearing alignment andthe 60 Case* LinearRace* parallelism. Two bearings arenormally used on each 60 Case LinearRace to assure smoothoperation. The housing should be carefully aligned using themethod given below. If a single twin-type housing is used, theseprocedures are not necessary.It is also necessary to assure that the height from the housingmounting surface to the 60 Case LinearRace is consistentwithin .001 in. Shimming may be necessary depending on theaccuracy of the mounting surfaces to which the housings arebolted.The housing can be mounted to the plate using the followingprocedure:Figure 2a. Prepare the carriage plate with one side having an abuttingsurface.b. Mount two housings with the reference edges locatedagainst the abutting surface and tighten the hold down bolts.Figure 1c. Mount the second pair of housings on the opposite side ofthe carriage and tighten the bolts finger tight.d. Insert a locating 60 Case LinearRace of correct diameter andtolerance through these two housings and referencethe distance from the abutting surface in [b] above, to thislocating 60 Case LinearRace.

Phone: 1-800-554-8466Website: www.thomsonballbushing.comEngineeringAfter the carriage is properly prepared, the 60 Case*LinearRace* must be mounted to the surface. To achievesmooth, accurate motion, the 60 Case LinearRace must bemounted parallel within .001 inch over the length of thestroke. This can be done by using the following procedure:a. Mount one 60 Case LinearRace (either end supported orcontinuously supported) to the surface with mounting boltsfinger tight.b. Using an aligning device such as a laser, auto-collimatoror other optics, sight the 60 Case LinearRace straight andsecure to mounting surface.c. After this first 60 Case LinearRace is fixed, the second60 Case LinearRace can be positioned and held down withbolts finger tight.d. The carriage is then mounted and its movement will pullthis second 60 Case LinearRace parallel to the first.Figures 3, 4e. If the second 60 Case LinearRace is then secured intoposition, the procedure is complete. Note that for continuouslysupported systems, this securing should be donewhen the carriage is close to the bolts. For end supportedsystems, the securing should be done when the carriage isat the ends of the 60 Case LinearRace. Figure 5f. An additional check can be done at this time to assure thatthe carriage is tracking correctly (i.e., that the carriageedge is moving parallel to the 60 Case LinearRace). Anindicator touching the carriage edge should not vary, asthe carriage is moved along the 60 Case LinearRace.Figure 6Figure 4Figure 5Figure 6©2003 Danaher Motion. Printed in the U.S.A.

If envelopeconstraints prohibit the use of two <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearings per60 Case LinearRace contact application engineering.<strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> <strong>Bearing</strong> Spacing vs. 60 Case LinearRaceSpacingIn parallel 60 Case LinearRace applications, the ratio of 60 CaseLinearRace spacing to <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing spacing shouldalways be less than three to one. This will assure a constantbreakaway and operating friction.60 Case LinearRace ParallelismIn most applications the maximum acceptable out ofparallelism condition is .001 inch over the entire full systemlength. In applications where preload is present (such as whenusing Die Set <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearings) a closer 60 CaseLinearRace parallelism is recommended.Three or More Parallel 60 Case LinearRace waysWhen aligning two 60 Case LinearRace ways parallel great careis required to assure a parallelism within .001 inch over theentire length of travel. When aligning multiple 60 CaseLinearRace ways, parallelism between each 60 CaseLinearRace should be held within the .001 inch specification.Measuring 60 Case LinearRace AlignmentMethods for establishing or checking 60 Case LinearRacestraightness and parallelism depends on the accuracy required.Lasers, collimator or alignment telescopes can be used for veryprecise applications, while accurate levels, straight edges,micrometers and indicators will suffice for the majority of applicationswhich have less stringent accuracy requirements.Installation of <strong>Super</strong> and Precision Steel Adjustable Type<strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> <strong>Bearing</strong>sWhen installing a <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing into a slottedadjustable housing, the bearing plate should not align with theadjustment slot. When installing a Precision Steel AdjustableType <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> bearing into a slotted adjustable housing, thebearing adjustment slot should be 90º to the pillow blockadjustment slot. These important steps will assure accuratebearing adjustment.Access for LubricationThomson <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Smart</strong> and <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> Pillow Blocksare equipped with either an oil lubrication fitting or a 1 ⁄4-28access for lubrication. To use the oil fitting simply insert alubrication device into the oil nipple by depressing the springloaded ball. The 1 ⁄4-28 tapped hole is a standard size for mostgrease and lubrication fittings. Simply install the lubricationfitting of your choice and it is ready for immediate use. <strong>Super</strong><strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> Pillow blocks in sizes .250 through .500 inchdiameter are equipped with oil lubrication fittings. <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Ball</strong><strong>Bushing</strong> pillow blocks in sizes .625 inch and above and all<strong>Super</strong> <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Ball</strong> <strong>Bushing</strong> Pillow Blocks are equipped with a1 ⁄4-28 access for lubrication.Waymount Support Block for Roundway <strong>Bearing</strong>InstallationStandard Waymount LinearRace Support Blocks provide60 Case LinearRace adjustment in both the horizontal andvertical direction. This product reduces installation timedramatically, while assuring precise 60 Case LinearRacealignment. This versatile design allows the Waymount supportto be mounted vertically or horizontally and in many differentRoundway bearing applications. The number of Waymounts tobe used is based on the maximum allowable 60 CaseLinearRace deflection between supports and the accuracyrequired. Ordinarily indicators, sensitive levels and straightedges are adequate for most alignment conditions.Phone: 1-800-554-8466Website: www.thomsonballbushing.comWaymount Support BlockRight/lefthand screwRough BaseVerticalAdjustmentHorizontalAdjustmentRoundWay* <strong>Bearing</strong>/60 Case LinearRaceInstallation Using GroutGrouting is a very simple method of mounting a 60 CaseLinearRace on almost any kind of surface, smooth or uneven.Grouting can also be used in conjunction with standardWaymount LinearRace support blocks or other 60 CaseLinearRace supports to obtain maximum rigidity. Dams arefastened to the bed parallel to the 60 Case LinearRace whichis then aligned with its mating 60 Case LinearRace (Figure 1).A compound, such as Thomson Waystone*, is then pouredunder and around the lower circumference of the 60 CaseLinearRace. This dries quickly forming a solid support of highcompressive strength (over 12,000 psi) without affecting theinitial straightness of the LinearRace.If the bearing arrangement permits the grout to flow substantiallyaround the circumference of the 60 Case LinearRaceand side loads are light, Waymount LinearRace supports orother hold down bolts along the length made be unnecessary(Figure 2). Just one support at each end of the 60 CaseLinearRace will usually provide final alignment and hold the60 Case Linear-Race in position for grouting. If the length todiameter ratio is large, Waymount LinearRace supportsshould be equally spaced to minimize 60 Case LinearRacedeflection. Grout should always be in direct contact with thesurface of the bed or whatever base member providesprimary rigidity and support.Figure 1Figure 2GroutGrouting DamAdjustingScrewRoughBase60 CaseLinearRaceSnap RingWasher60 Case LinearRaceGroutJam NutBoltTemporaryBracketAdjustingScrewGroutingDamRough BasePage 142©2003 Danaher Motion.
