It rides along a linear shaft or rail and provides smooth, low-friction travel for machinery, automation equipment, and industrial positioning systems. The carriage measures 71.5mm (approximately 2.81 inches) in length, 63mm (approximately 2.48 inches) in width, and 25.5mm (approximately 1.00 inch) in height. Constructed from steel, it offers durable load-bearing performance in demanding environments. Transverse hole spacing is 40mm (approximately 1.57 inches) and lateral hole spacing is 53mm (approximately 2.09 inches), allowing straightforward mounting to standard fixture plates and sub-assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis carriage is suited for use in industrial automation, CNC equipment, material handling, and precision positioning systems where consistent linear travel is required. It is part of the Thomson 500 Series and is typically installed by mechanical engineers, industrial maintenance technicians, or automation integrators. The 21.5mm (approximately 0.85 inch) overhang and M6 mounting holes support integration into a wide range of machine frames and linear guide assemblies. The 30-inch high assembly designation indicates the rail length compatibility for which this carriage is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction for durable, high-load linear motion service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarriage dimensions: 71.5mm (2.81 inches) L x 63mm (2.48 inches) W x 25.5mm (1.00 inch) H\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTransverse hole spacing of 40mm (1.57 inches) and lateral hole spacing of 53mm (2.09 inches) for standard bolt patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM6 mounting holes for secure attachment to machine sub-plates\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e21.5mm (0.85 inch) overhang for extended support surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePart of the Thomson 500 Series linear motion product family\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard ball carriage replacement or new-installation component for Thomson 500 Series linear shaft assemblies with a 30-inch high assembly rail specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by qualified mechanical or automation technicians. De-energize and lock out all power to the machine before disassembling any linear motion components. Use calibrated metric fasteners with the M6 hole pattern and verify hole spacing alignment before final torque. Consult the Thomson 500 Series assembly documentation for lubrication intervals and preload requirements specific to the application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 500\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarriage Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 71.5mm (approximately 2.81 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarriage Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 63mm (approximately 2.48 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarriage Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25.5mm (approximately 1.00 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTransverse Hole Spacing\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40mm (approximately 1.57 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLateral Hole Spacing\u003c\/strong\u003e: 53mm (approximately 2.09 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverhang\u003c\/strong\u003e: 21.5mm (approximately 0.85 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Hole Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAssembly Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarriage Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: THOMSON INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 511H20A0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"THOMSON INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67911515111730,"sku":"511H20A0","price":291.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f44373d90a31435af4a5311353d51a9f_124b4252-8da2-44e1-8c84-0993e1a10df0.jpg?v=1791211468","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/thomson-industries-511h20a0-standard-ball-carriage","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
