Thanks for the replies!
Ok, here is another question;
What are the pros and cons of a pillow block bearing system on rails vs. a linear slide system like THK, for example?
Do I lose anything signifigant besides static load capacity?
The reason I ask is due to my visit at the liquidators this morning. I have 4 Thompson super twin 12 open pillow block bearings (mounted on 36" SS rails) on hold until tomorrow morning. I'm not going to say the price until they are in my grubby hands.
thanks,
