Hi Guys,

I just received my first pair of Thomson linear rails and pillow block bearings. I just had a few questions for people familiar with them. They are Thomson Super Pillow Block bearings (SPB 12) and are in what appears to be excellent physical condition.

I expected the bearings to not have any skew movement while on the rod. The bearings I have do move a tiny bit... as in, they can be "twisted" a little back and forth. Am I explaining that right? I know they should slide back and forth and twist around the rod but they also seem to have a little built-in slop.

Is there a way to adjust the slack out of them or is this intended? Just being my normal freaky self.

Let me know.

Thanks!

Darren
