Thomson Industries 2DA0800BL48 Linear Motion System

Product Description

The THOMSON INDUSTRIES 2DA0800BL48 is a manually driven linear motion system designed for precise, hand-operated linear positioning in mechanical and industrial applications. Measuring 48 inches in length and 2 inches in width, this unit provides a structured guide path for controlled linear travel without requiring a motorized drive. Licensed mechanical technicians and industrial maintenance professionals typically install and service this type of system. The nominal shaft diameter of 1/2 inch is a key sizing reference when specifying compatible components or integrating into an existing motion assembly.

This manually driven linear motion system suits applications where powered actuation is not required or practical, such as low-cycle positioning tasks, test fixtures, machine tool auxiliary axes, or manual adjustment mechanisms. It is appropriate for both light industrial and OEM equipment installations where repeatable linear travel and a compact profile are priorities. The 48-inch travel length accommodates longer-stroke applications in benchtop or floor-mounted equipment configurations.

Key Features

• Manually driven operation eliminates need for motor or controller
• 48-inch overall length supports longer-stroke linear positioning
• 2-inch width provides a compact footprint for space-constrained installations
• Nominal 1/2-inch shaft diameter for straightforward component compatibility sizing
• Self-contained linear motion assembly suitable for OEM and aftermarket use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style manually driven linear motion system suitable for mechanical assemblies requiring hand-operated linear travel with a 1/2-inch nominal shaft diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified mechanical or industrial maintenance technicians. Before mounting, ensure the mounting surface is flat, rigid, and capable of supporting the load and travel forces of the system. Disengage and lock out any connected mechanical, pneumatic, or electrical energy sources before beginning installation or service work. Verify shaft diameter compatibility and alignment with mating components before final fastening to avoid binding or premature wear.
