Felt

Thicker and more absorbent than fabric for insulating, polishing, cushioning, and gasketing

Power Transmission

Shafts

Transmit power, motion, and speed between machine components

Lead Screws and Nuts

Lead Screws and Nuts

Components travel along a screw with broad, square threads to clamp and lift heavy loads

Ball Screws and Nuts

Ball Screws and Nuts

Internal ball bearings roll on screws for low friction when moving components at high speeds

Ball Screw/Splines

Ball Screw/Splines

Transmit rotary power, move loads along the shaft, or do both at once

Rod End Inserts

Rod End Inserts

Attach to rod ends to increase the amount of misalignment they can handle

Rod Ends

Use with connecting rods to support loads and control steering, tensioning, or pivoting motion

Splines and Spline Bearings

Splines and Spline Bearings

Transmit rotary power or move loads along the length of splines

Roller Screws and Nuts

Roller Screws and Nuts

More contact points to move heavier loads than ball and lead screw assemblies

Fastening and Joining

Dowel Pins

Align parts before assembly or use as a pivot, shaft, or hinge to join moving components

Dowel Pin Stock

Dowel Pin Stock

Cut to the length you need for positioning and holding parts in place

Facility and Grounds Maintenance

Shower Curtain Rod Flanges

Shower Curtain Rod Flanges

Secure shower curtain rods to walls

Shower Curtain Rods

Shower Curtain Rods

Hang shower curtains

Fabricating and Machining

Retrievers

Grab and pull objects out of hard-to-reach spots

Fluid Handling

Pipe and Pipe Fittings

Pipe and Pipe Fittings

Generally thicker and more rigid than tubing for distributing liquids and gases through your facility

Sealing

Rod Seals

Maintain pressure inside cylinders and prevent fluid leaks

Rod Wipers

Scrape dirt off rods to keep the inside of cylinders clean
