With a 1.5-inch bore diameter and a dynamic load capacity of 3,880 pounds, this bearing supports heavy-duty linear shaft systems where reliable, low-friction motion is required. The open configuration allows installation over a shaft without full disassembly of the surrounding assembly, making it a practical choice for retrofit and maintenance applications. It features a self-aligning design with 8 ball circuits, a 2.375-inch outside diameter, and a steel construction suited for industrial and mechanical drive systems. Typically installed by mechanical technicians, machine builders, or industrial maintenance professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bearing is used in linear motion systems across industrial machinery, automation equipment, and mechanical assemblies that require a round-bore, open-slot configuration. The open slot design allows the bearing to clear obstructing features along the shaft during installation without dismounting adjacent components. The self-aligning style compensates for minor shaft misalignment, reducing stress on the ball circuits during operation. It is a direct-fit replacement for applications requiring a 1.5-inch nominal bore open linear bearing with a 2.375-inch OD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOpen bearing style allows installation over the shaft without full system teardown\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.5-inch bore diameter with self-aligning design to compensate for minor shaft misalignment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3,880-pound dynamic load capacity for heavy-duty linear motion applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8 open ball circuits for smooth, low-friction linear travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction for durability in industrial environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMinimum slot width of 0.75 inches accommodates shaft obstructions during install\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement for open linear ball bushing bearings with a 1.5-inch bore and 2.375-inch outside diameter in round-bore linear shaft assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified mechanical technician familiar with linear motion components. Ensure the linear shaft and housing bore are clean and free of burrs before pressing or sliding the bearing into position. Do not apply force to the ball circuit retainers during installation, as damage to the ball tracks will affect load capacity and service life. Follow equipment manufacturer lockout and tagout procedures before servicing any machinery containing this bearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBearing Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ball Bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBearing Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Open\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBore Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBore Diameter (mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38.10 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.97 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Slot Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDynamic Load Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3,880 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Ball Circuits (Open)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlignment Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Self-Aligning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.0 inches\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: SSU24OPN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"THOMSON INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67912482783538,"sku":"SSU24OPN","price":346.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/587331853f46eab7dc87b59c823e66f1.jpg?v=1791235184","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/thomson-industries-ssu24opn-open-linear-ball-bushing-bearing","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
