Overview

• The newest addition to the Thomson Linear Guide product line
• Cost-effective, transport grade profile rail solution for cost-sensitive applications
• A drop-in replacement with industry-standard envelope and hole patterns
• Double-faced ball track bearing arrangements provide compliance during installation as well as equal load carrying capacity in all directions
• Caged and non-caged carriages utilize the same rail design—enables efficient use of inventory, as only one rail type needs to be stocked for either carriage type
• Polymer ball-return tube reduces noise while retaining lubrication
• Standard double lip end and longitudinal seals retain lubrication while protecting the bearing from contamination (additional seals and scrapers available)
• Channels direct lubricant to individual ball tracks to maximize lubrication effectiveness
• Utilizes a 45°, face-to-face bearing arrangement, resulting in equal load-carrying capacity in all directions
• Primary advantage of face-to-face configuration—rails are much more tolerant of mounting surface inaccuracies, enabling automation machine builders to reduce cost further by not having to prepare super-accurate mounting surfaces
• Standard length for rails is 4,000 mm
