Zero-clearance bearing provides precision fit-up

This Nyliner polymer bearing from Thomson Industries (www.thomsonind.com) delivers zero clearance throughout its life with low friction for smooth, accurate operation. It is a self-lubricating, constant-preload linear/rotary bearing for moderate-load applications. Zero clearance is maintained by pressure exerted at the tips of preloaded curved pads upon the shaft. The bearing can be produced in different composites to meet the thermal, chemical, and load requirements of specific applications. Numerous sizes are available, ranging from 1/4 to 1.5 in. nominal ID.
