(OP)
anybody know a fast cheep, canadian or US supplier of "Linear Motion ball barings" that can be used in place of ejector guide bushings.

see attached picture for type.

I did some searching, but there doesn't seem to be that many.

RE: linear ball barings


In the UK, we use THK, I'm pretty sure that they would be available in Norh America, see:

WE also use SKF for that are similar to THK's "Power Bushing", but I'm not so sure that they stock them over there.

Don't they use them more on press tools? Another avenue maybe?

RE: linear ball barings

I have always used McmasterCarr for this type of bearing and teh snap rings to retain them.  They ship out of Chicago and are usually relatively inexpensive.  I have also used MSC, however their shipping times and prices are usually longer and more expensive than McMaster Carr.
