A linear motion ball bearing assembly is provided for mounting within a housing and comprises a plurality of ball retainer members with a raceway therein. With the members surrounding a shaft, a load bearing plate is associated with the load bearing portion of each raceway and on the outer periphery of each raceway an elastomeric strip of material is mounted to resiliently restrain the movement of the ball bearing assembly in the spherical seat within the housing, and provide a high damping factor and exhibit high static stiffness.

Linear motion ball bearing with dynamic stiffness

A pillow block for the reception of self-aligning linear motion bearings which pillow block can be made up of two or more self-aligning bearing units which will allow increased bearing surface with an ease of alignment.
