Specially designed ball plate is made of Hardened steel, and the precisely ground groove is slightly larger than the ball size, which provides greater contact area between the ball and the ball plate. In addition, this designprovides 3 times higher load ratings and 27 times longer travel life compared to conventional Linear Bushing.
Ball plate has a convex shape to provide a pivot point at the center, which allows Self Alignment up to 0.5¢ª. This Self Alignment capability eliminates any possibility of edge pressure caused by inaccurate maching, errors on mounting, or shaft deflection. Moreove, it obtains uniform load distribution and low friction motion.
SUPERALL has extremely smooth running due to th euniquely designed ball retainer and the outer sleeve. They are made of Engineering Polymer, which has light weight, low friction, and high wear-resistance. Due to them, the smooth and silent running can be obtained.
SUPPERBALL's ball plates are designed to float in the outer sleeve. This allows dearance between the balls and shaft to be adjusted for the best application environment by using with the housing.
SUPERBALL is designed to be fully Interchangeable wuth conventional linear bushing.
