500 Series

Highly configurable ball and roller guidance systems designed per DIN standard 645-1 to support a load and allow low friction, precise linear translation of that load. The Thomson 500 Series ball and roller carriages and rails provide long life, exceptional rigidity, high dynamic and static load capacities, accommodation for high moment loads, and high running accuracy. These properties allow for improved machine accuracies and rigidity that, in turn, reduce vibration and extend machine and tool life.
