Precision Steel Ball Bushing BearingPhone: 1-800-554-8466Website: www.thomsonballbushing.comPrecision Steel Ball Bushing BearingsThe basis for the performance of all Precision SteelBall Bushing* bearings is a simple but ingenioussystem of ball recirculation that permits almostfrictionless, unlimited travel.Adjusting ScrewReplace High Friction Plain BearingsPlain bearings cause friction, stick-slip, binding andchatter. The Precision Steel Ball Bushing 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 Ball Bushing bearing is manufacturedwith high quality bearing steel that is hardened andprecision ground. The rolling elements of each BallBushing 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 BallBushing bearing assures maximum system accuracyand repeatability.When the Precision Steel Ball Bushing bearingis installed in its standard Pillow Block it willself-align up to 3 degrees in all directions.Hardened andPrecision GroundSleevePrecision Steel Ball Bushing BearingCross-sectionRetainerHigh Travel SpeedsPrecision Steel Ball Bushing 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 Ball Bushing 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 BallBushing bearing can be installed in a housing and heldin place with an internal retaining ring.Protection from ContaminationPrecision Steel Ball Bushing bearings most popularsizes are available with double acting integral wipersthat keep out contamination, retain lubrication andmaximize travel life.Page 68©2003 Danaher Motion.
