Thomson Glide Screw Saves Cost And Space

The use of lead screws with guide rails is a proven technology for applications requiring linear motion but it is often over-engineered for smaller applications where only light duty is required. In areas such as lab automation or 3D printing, a simpler, easier-to-install alternative has a great deal of appeal to machine builders. With this requirement in mind, Thomson has developed the Glide Screw, which combines both linear bearing and lead screw in a single device without the need for additional guidance components.
