Topball® & Slide Shaft Product Catalog
TOPBALL® Features
• Increased Load Capacity NB’s uniquely designed ground load plate provides circular arch contact to the ball resulting in a greater dispersion of the load, enabling TOPBALL to provide three times the load capacity of conventional slide bushings. (See Fig. 1)
• Longer Travel Life Dispersed stress on the load plate provides TOPBALL up to 27 times the travel life of conventional slide bushings. (See Fig. 1)
• Self-Aligning Capability Load plates are thinner at the ends to provide a pivot point at the center of the plate. The center acts as a fulcrum to compensate for any slight misalignment between the shaft and the housing bore that might be caused by inaccurate machining, mounting errors or shaft deflection. (See Fig. 2)
• Floating Integral Wiper Seal Seals are made of oil resistant industrial grade rubber for long life and durability. NB’s unique floating seal design allows for self-alignment while maintaining equal and constant contact to the shaft. Seals do not add to the overall length of the bushing allowing for more compact designs. (See Fig. 2)
• Interchangeability NB has designed TOPBALL to be fully interchangeable with conventional slide bushings.
