Thomson Ball Bushing® Bearings

Thomson ball bearings in the Ball Bushing line ride on hardened, ground shafting to deliver smooth, low-friction linear travel. These linear ball bearings are specified where repeatable accuracy and long service life matter, from open and closed designs to self-aligning and adjustable configurations.

Thomson Pillow Block Bearings

Thomson pillow block linear bearings combine a Ball Bushing bearing with a precision-machined housing, ready to mount directly onto a machine base. They simplify assembly and maintain alignment in single and twin-bearing arrangements.

Thomson Mounted Linear Bearings

Mounted linear bearings integrate the bearing, housing, and seals into a single unit for fast installation and consistent performance. These assemblies reduce downtime during repair and standardize replacement across multiple machines.

Thomson Round Rail Linear Guides & Shafting

Round rail linear guides pair Ball Bushing bearings with matched LinearRace® shafting to support load-bearing travel over long spans. We can supply guides, end-supported and continuously-supported shafting, and the components needed to complete a system.

Thomson linear motion products are trusted across demanding sectors. Packaging and automation equipment rely on Thomson bearings for high-cycle, repeatable motion. Medical and laboratory machinery uses them where precision and clean operation are required. Machine tool builders, semiconductor handling systems, and material handling and conveyor operations all specify Thomson components for accuracy under continuous duty. Baker Bearing supports customers in the industrial, automotive, and manufacturing markets that depend on these parts to keep equipment running.

Baker Bearing has served the bearing industry for more than 30 years from one of the largest inventories in the country, with over 6 million parts and 140,000 unique line items in stock. As a bearing distributor, we specialize in locating active, legacy, and obsolete numbers that other suppliers cannot.
