External retaining rings fit into the retaining ring grooves on the outside diameter of super smart, super and Precision Steel Ball Bushing® bearings to provide external mounting retention. Available in standard and stainless steel versions.

Precision Steel Ball Bushing® bearings offer great improvements in efficiency, productivity and accuracy over high-friction plain bearings flat-ways. The all-steel design makes the bearing product line perfect for replacing plain bearings in high temperature applications. Rigid construction makes them very durable compared to ball bushing bearings with polymer components. When installed in a standard Thomson® pillow block, the Precision Steel Ball Bushing® bearing can self-align up to 3 deg in all directions.

The Super Ball Bushing® bearing has been the industry standard for self-aligning linear bearings for over twenty years. This bearing provides three times the load capacity or 27 times the travel life of conventional linear bearings. Besides the dramatic increase in load capacity, the Super Ball Bushing® bearing is self-aligning, lightweight and adjustable with a low coefficient of friction. It is a quick and easy replacement for high friction plain bearings. The wear-resistant, engineered-polymer retainers and outer sleeves reduce inertia and noise in critical, high speed applications.

The Super Smart Ball Bushing® bearing family represents a major advancement in linear bearing technology worldwide. These patented and universally self-aligning bearings offer twice the load capacity or eight times the travel life of our industry standard Super Ball Bushing® bearing. To minimize installation time and cost, the Super Smart Ball Bushing® bearing can be ordered factory-installed in an industry standard single or twin pillow block.

Shaft support blocks are used for end or intermittent support where loads are light and deflection between supports is not a problem. Unlike shaft support rails, blocks do not permit longitudinal passage of open-type Ball Bushing® bearings. Type SB shaft support blocks enable clamping of shafts and eliminate the need for bolts, to maintain shaft position. Shimming is suggested for high-precision applications to eliminate the effect of variations in surface of base or manufacturing tolerances between supports.
