Thomson Linear Motion Optmized
Ball Bushing Bearings - RoundWay® Roller Bearings
Product Details
The RoundWay Linear bearing
is a re-circulating roller bearing with self alignment for use
in high-load, heavy duty applications. RoundWay linear bearings are
ideal for environments contaminated with dust or debris and are made to
run on hardened linear shafting.
Performance benefits:
- Can run on shafts with gaps between them
- For use in extremely contaminated surfaces
- High load capacities
- Rigid design provides high accuracy while tolerating high shock loads
- Self-aligning capability
Available in sizes:
- Inch: 1/2” – 4.0”
- Load Capacity: 970 - 70,000 lbs.

The RoundWay linear roller bearing consists of four basic parts:
The RoundWay linear roller bearing rolls on a train of concave rollers, which ride on hardened linear shafting. The shafting should be supported on the underside to prevent deflection under heavy loads.
RoundWays are normally mounted to the underside of a carriage. By rotating the eccentric trunnion pin, the height of the RoundWay can be adjusted to compensate for variations in the surface of the underside of the carriage and to eliminate buildup of tolerances between component elements. The "dot" on the end of the trunnion pin indicates the "high" point of the eccentricity.
