Parker 3952 Precision Ball Bearing Table Side Drive

Product Description

The PARKER 3952 is a single-axis precision ball bearing linear table with side drive, designed for applications requiring accurate, repeatable positioning in compact assemblies. It delivers a load capacity of 6 pounds and a travel range of 0.5 inches. The table measures 1.22 inches long by 1.25 inches wide by 0.75 inches high, making it well suited for tight-space installations. Ball bearing construction provides smooth, low-friction linear motion, supporting consistent performance across repetitive cycles. This component is typically installed by motion control technicians, mechanical engineers, and precision assembly specialists working with small-scale automation or instrumentation equipment.

The PARKER 3952 is used in precision linear motion assemblies where controlled single-axis travel is needed in a small form factor. Typical applications include laboratory instrumentation, optical positioning, small-scale automation stages, and test equipment. The side drive configuration allows actuation from the side of the table, which is useful in layouts where end-access is restricted. Six mounting holes with 4-40 thread pattern provide secure, stable attachment to host structures or base plates.

Key Features

• 0.5 inch travel range for compact linear motion requirements
• Precision ball bearing design for low-friction, repeatable travel
• Side drive configuration for versatile layout integration
• Six 4-40 threaded mounting holes for rigid, secure attachment
• Compact footprint: 1.22 inches long by 1.25 inches wide by 0.75 inches high

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision linear positioning component compatible with small-scale single-axis motion assemblies using 4-40 mounting patterns.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified motion control or mechanical assembly technicians familiar with precision linear stages. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, flat, and properly aligned before securing the table with 4-40 fasteners. Avoid over-tightening fasteners, as this can introduce binding or distortion in the bearing carriage. Disconnect or de-energize any actuating mechanism before performing maintenance or adjustment.
