Ball Bearing Systems Linear Motion

 (5 product groups)

Bearings enable linear motion while carrying heavy duty loads in linear motion assemblies. Ball bearings greatly reduce friction and prevent shock from sudden impacts during travel. Applications for ball bearings range from material handling to assembly line manufacturing setups to full factory automation.

Types of Ball Bearings

Ball bearing systems enable greatly enhanced travel ability for linear applications. Ball bearings, bushings, and carriages attach to rails mounted overhead or to the floor depending on the use case.

Ball bearings can be traditional ball bearings, which work most effectively in light load applications. Ball bearing bushings are slightly more tolerant of loads up to 2000 lbf or beyond. For the heaviest applications, ball bearing carriages are ideal to withstand much higher forces.

For rotary applications, ball bearing pillow blocks enable smooth rotation with or without a flange mount to support conveyance equipment, for example. Reid Supply carries many ball bearing solutions including Thompson Linear systems and rails.

List Grid

Ball Bearing Bushings

A great liason between the shaft and the carriage, these bushings can handle a moderate amount of load while moving at a fast rate.

Ball Bearing Carriages

Ball bearing carriages allow for minor misalignements and offer a wide range of linear movements. The integrated rolling elements greatly reduce friction.

Ball Bearing Guide Rails

Ball bearing guide rails are easy to assemble and give a long service life even with heavy loads or over long distances.

Ball Bearing Pillow Blocks

Featuring closed and open bearing housing styles for ease of maintenance. Comes with and without a flange option to suit your application needs.

Ball Bearing Slide Assemblies

Explore our breadth of modular assemblies with multiple size and travel options. These products effectively minimize problems related to impact and shock, over the lifetime of the bearing.
