Self-Aligning Bushings for Machinery or Automation



TOPBALL Ultimate, TW-H Type Bushings

"TOPBALL Ultimate TW-H bushings can carry four times the load and have 64 times the life of conventional slide bushings," said an NB Corporation spokesperson.

The TW-H's new optimized load plate, outer cylinder structure and double the ball circuits of the standard TW type increase TOPBALL Ultimate's load ratings by 1.3 times and travel life by 2.2 times compared to the TW. The TW type has three times the load capacity and 27 times more travel life of conventional bushings, reports NB Corporation.

NB's self-aligning linear ball bushing's precision tolerances are achieved by grinding, not stamping, the raceways and load plates. Because of the high load capacity, they minimize space requirements. The bushings are suited for new designs and interchangeable for retrofitting.

NB's TOPBALL Ultimate line of slide products are available as total systems or as individual components such as slide bushings, housings, slide shafts and supports.

The new TOPBALL Ultimate TW-H slide bushings are engineered to improve performance of machinery and equipment for automation, optics and measuring.

The TOPBALL Ultimate is currently available in inch sizes 12, 16, 20 and 24.
