Standard and super ball bushings from HepcoMotion

HepcoMotion’s range of linear ball bushings are claimed to offer interchangeability with all major manufacturers and incorporate a rigid steel outer sleeve with between three and six ball circuits, depending on size. Ball retainers are made from high grade polyamide for superior performance and low friction.

Sizes in the range are from 5 to 60mm in both European and Japanese metric sizes, they feature pillow block and flanged housings and are available in a long series, as well as standard size. The long series is said to offer increased rigidity.

Included in the range are HepcoMotion’s super ball bushings which are said to offer approximately three times the load capacity, which is said to equate to around 27 times the life, of standard ball bushings with the same overall dimensions. They consist of hardened steel segmented load bearing plates with a ±0.5° self-alignment feature which is claimed to prevent point of loading that leads to shortened life.
