Thomson SSU20WW Linear Ball Bushing
The Thomson SSU20WW is a self-aligning linear ball bushing designed for inch-series motion systems. It suits engineers and maintenance teams who need a 1.250 in bore bearing with a 2 in outside diameter and 2 5/8 in overall length. The Delrin construction supports a 2,350 lbf dynamic load capacity across a 0 to 185 Degrees F operating range.
Straightforward press-fit mounting
Installation is a simple press fit into a 2 in housing bore; the self-aligning feature compensates for minor misalignment up to .001 in inside diameter tolerance. Problems usually arise if the housing bore is out of round or if lubrication is omitted, which can reduce the steady state speed rating of 10 fps and accelerated speed of 450 fps.
Ideal for inch-series linear guides needing
This bushing fits applications that demand a closed Delrin bearing with high load capacity and wide temperature limits. It is not suited for buyers who need an open-type bearing for shaft support, a metric-dimension series, or a metal rolling-element design for higher rigidity.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the SSU20WW ball bushing is functioning correctly after installation?
Verify smooth linear travel without binding, check that the shaft rotates freely within the 1.250 in bore, and ensure operating temperatures stay between 0 and 185 Degrees F during steady-state speeds up to 10 fps.
What components are included with the SSU20WW ball bushing and what must be purchased separately?
The package contains the Super Smart series linear ball bearing with 1.250 in inside diameter, 2 in outside diameter, and 2 5/8 in overall length. Shafting, mounting hardware, and lubrication are not included.
Which SSU20WW specification should I select for my load and speed requirements?
Choose this model when your application demands a dynamic load capacity of 2,350 lbf, steady-state speeds up to 10 fps, and accelerated speeds up to 450 fps within the 0 to 185 Degrees F temperature range.
