Thomson TWN24 linear pillow block bearing is used with Thomson Shafting to offset torsional misalignment and provide extra support. It offers a quick and easy replacement for high-friction plain bearings.
Features:
- This bearing comes with wear-resistant, engineered-polymer retainers and outer sleeves to reduce inertia and noise in critical or high-speed applications.
- A self-aligning capability of up to 0.5 degrees is needed to compensate for inaccuracies in base flatness or carriage machining. This can be achieved with Thompson Super Bearing plates, which have defined radius crowns for maximum self-alignment accuracy.
- It also comes with integral double-acting seals that keep out dirt and maintains lubrication.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What is the coefficient of friction of this block bearing?
A. The coefficient of friction of Thomson TWN24 linear pillow block bearing is as low as 0.001, making it perfect for using smaller motors, belts, gears and ball screws when replacing high-friction plain bearings.
Q. What is the difference between single and twin-bearing versions?
A.
- Twin versions of Super Ball Bushing bearing provide twice the load capacity or eight times more travel life than the single version.
- A single version, on the other hand, self-aligns in all directions and minimises time and cost.
Q. Why does this bearing come with numerous holes?
A. This bearing features numerous holes that allow adding many accessories and brakes and offer ease of installation.
