Ball screw line offers very high traverse speeds
Thomson IBL Company announces a new Rotating Nut Ball Screw Line that can increase traverse speeds up to 200 metres per minute
The bearings, which are available in both millimetre and inch sizes, feature: a minimum diametral shaft to bearing clearance of 0.001in; thin-wall construction which contributes to minimal changes in wall thickness; a compensation gap that allows the bearings to be collapsed so the smaller flange can be easily spiralled through the mounting hole; fast and economical snap-in installation; and no lubrication.
Injection moulded Nyliner bearings outperform bronze bushings by offering a low coefficient of friction, long life, smooth and quiet operation, corrosion resistance, easy installation and low cost.
For higher temperatures and loads, Nyliner Plus bearings provide better cost/performance than steel backed PTFE and filament wound bearings.
Nyliner bearings come in seven sleeve, flanged and snap-in types and are available from stock in 225 standard millimetre and inch sizes.
Other proprietary polymers and custom designs for large volume applications are also available.
