500 Series Roller Linear Guides

Motion Control Product - Thomson 500 Series Roller

Engineered for Rigidity. Built for High-Load Precision.

The Thomson 500 Series Roller Linear Guide is a premium-grade solution designed for maximum rigidity, superior load capacity, and smooth, quiet operation—even under the most demanding industrial conditions.

Leveraging a back-to-back four-roller track arrangement with crowned rollers, this guide system eliminates edge loading during misalignment, ensuring lower elastic deformation under increasing loads—outperforming traditional ball carriages and face-to-face bearing configurations.

Categories: , , Tag:
Thomson

The 500 Series Roller rigidity is achieved by using the equivalent of a back-to-back bearing arrangement, complemented by special rollers that are crowned to prevent roller edge loading when misalignment is present. This results in lower elastic deformation as the load increases compared to a ball carriage or face-to-face bearing arrangement. Roller Guides have an increased load capacity over the ball as a result of the increased contacting surface across the length of the roller. A ball provides a single point contact area, while a roller provides a much greater line contact area. This results in a substantially higher load carrying capacity and lower wear with minimum rolling friction.

500 Series Roller Highlights:

  • Industry leading load capacities
  • High rigidity from back to back four roller track arrangement
  • Straight rails through advanced grinding technologies
  • Simple installation and greater accuracy with joint-free rails up to 6 meters
  • Smooth, quiet movement through patented insert molded recirculation paths and optimized geometries
  • Multiple carriage styles and sizes available
  • On site field modifiable modular seals
  • Rail and carriage options from stock or short delivery
  • Customization with expanded accessory offering
  • Replaces AccuMax

500 Series Roller Typical Applications:

  • Industrial Automation
  • Material Handling
  • Industrial Robots
  • Machine Tool Equipment
  • Precision Measuring Equipment
  • Food Processing Equipment
