Polymer Bushing Bearings
Thomson polymer bushing bearings offer linear motion designers a reliable, yet economical, option for machines in which moment load is non-critical or contamination and temperature are concerns. These plain bearings are also useful for applications that require shafting that is incompatible with traditional Ball Bushings (e.g. 316 stainless steel). Handling loads up to 2023 lbf, polymer bushings provide a corrosion-resistant option for low-load, low-speed applications.
When combined with roundrail shafting, pillow blocks or other assembly components, polymer bearings deliver a cost-effective linear motion solution to a number of applications, including factory automation, robotics, health and fitness, medical automation, woodworking, packaging, food and beverage, and vending.
