 We recieved a prize from The Science and Technology Agency
for the total development of this product.
  The NB's SLIDE BUSH is a linear motion mechanism utilizing the rotational motion of ball elements. This consists of the outer cylinder and a ball retainer that guide the circulation of the ball elements, resulting in smooth linear motion. Moreover, SLIDE BUSH is fully compatible with a variety of shaft types.
Used in a number of industrial fields, such as transportation equipment, food processing equipment and semiconductor equipment, NB's SLIDE BUSH have been endorsed by many of our clients as "standard parts for linear motion".

  Outline of SLIDE BUSH
The NB SLIDE BUSH uses a round shaft for the guide, resulting in effective space utilization, which allows for compact designs.Moreover, it is available in various shapes, which make it suitable for various types of installations : lightweight, standard, clearance adjustable, open, flange, and double-wide types.
GM Type
>> GM Type  - standard type -
The GM SLIDE BUSH makes efficient use of resin components making it possible to achieve an overall weight reduction of 30-50% when compared with the stainless steel type.The ball return section is configured completely in resin material, which provides for low noise operation.

  Outer Cylinder Surface Treatment
Commonly used surface treatments for flange type slide bushes are available as a standard option. Information about various symbols within part numbers and surface treatment types are indicated below.
(Electrolysis-less nickel plating is standardized at [TR type]. )
symbols the kind of the surface treatment
SK electroless nickel plating
LF Low Temperature Black Chrome Treatment
with Fluoride Coating
SB black oxide (excludes anti-corrosion specification)
SC industrial chrome plating
* Since outer diameter tolerance may differ from a size table, please check well in advance.
Moreover, please ask directly to NB about the thickness of plating.
* Contact NB for information for surface finish other than those listed above,
oil hole or special mounting hole requirements for the flange-type bushes.
  When choosing linear system products, it is necessary to calculate elements such as load-bearing and accuracy, taking into consideration the type of machinery and environment in which the system will be used. Please refer to the Engineering Information page regarding technical calculations.
