Special Machined Shafting

For over 50 years, Thomson has been producing precision linear shafting for Thomson Linear Ball Bushing bearings and other Thomson applications. We offer the widest range of inch, metric, and special machined shafting.Learn more about Special Machining >

Shaft Support Blocks

Shaft support blocks are used for end or intermittent support where loads are light and slight shaft deflection is not a concern. Choose from three different types: low profile, standard, and flanged. (Metric/Imperial)Learn more about Support Blocks >

Shaft Support Rails

Support rails are used for continuous shafting support and can be used horizontally or vertically. They are available in low profile steel and standard aluminum with or without predrilled holes. (Metric/Imperial)Learn more about Support Rails >

Shaft Rail Assemblies

Thomson shaft rail assemblies and low shaft rail assemblies offer easy installation of your linear race. We mount the solid steel shaft or lightweight tubular shaft to the support rails which are ready for instant bolt-down installation.Learn more about Shaft Rail Assemblies >

Waymount Supports

Waymount supports are designed specifically for use with the RoundWay® bearing. Two or more can be used to provide intermittent support and adjustment along the length of the shaft.
