Category: ASK Limited

ASK-Bosch

SB (UU)

This ball bushing comes with an integrated self-aligning function and has an outer sleeve molded mainly from resin, making it lightweight. The housing has a variable inner diameter enabling adjustments to the space between ball bushing and shaft. Virtual line contact where steel balls meet track ensures a high load capacity.
