Below are some examples of our innovative bearing solutions.

Bearing/Sprocket Assemblies

This unitized assembly combines 19 and 11 tooth stamped sprockets staked to a machined shaft, a 2-bolt centerflange bearing assembly, a powder metal coupler, a plastic handle and a spring actuated locking system. The integrated assembly greatly reduced the number of components purchased by the customer and dramatically increased their productivity.

Brake Assemblies

Brake assemblies consist of a full complement of steel balls, a flanged raceway and a square cross section spring. The steel balls take up thrust loads while enabling the two brake halves to rotate relative to each other.

Trunnion Bearings

This economical assembly incorporates a hex bore shaft staked to a triangular plate and a bearing assembly captured in a trunnion style housing. The shaft is the bearing inner raceway.

Two Piece Idler Sprockets

Welded stamped sprocket halves capture a semi-precision bearing providing an economical solution to more expensive machined units. Available in a range of sprocket sizes.

Cam Followers

This unground cam follower is a low cost alternative to more expensive precision designs. A large number of applications utilize precision or ground cam followers when semi precision designs can provide the same rugged durability at a substantial cost savings. The unit consists of two complements of balls, machined stud, outer and inner raceways and a stamped dust shield.

Angular Contact Bearing

This semi precision bearing is designed for applications where a combination of radial and thrust loads are present and therefore thrust and/or radial load carrying capability is required. The bearing is designed with a flange which axially locates the bearing in the housing. An integral seal on the outboard end eliminates the need for an external seal.
