Raw Materials

Steel

Strong, machinable, and weldable—all with material certificates for traceability

Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel

Resists corrosion and chemicals in most environments—all with material certificates for traceability

Aluminum

Lightweight, easy to machine, and corrosion resistant—all with material certificates for traceability

Garolite

A strong, machinable alternative to metal and plastic widely used in circuit boards and gears

Brass

More machinable than copper and bronze—all with material certificates for traceability

Glass

Clear and highly heat and chemical resistant; often used in sights, lighting, and lab equipment

Tungsten

Our densest metal resists wear and heat to make end mills, heat shields, electrodes, and more

Plastic

A lightweight alternative to metal and glass

Copper

Our most conductive metal for electrical applications—all with material certificates for traceability

Rubber

Compresses and bounces back to shape; often used for sealing, cushioning, and shock absorbing

Power Transmission

Linear Shafts

Pair with linear bearings to reduce friction in manual and automated systems

Rotary Shafts

Pair with gears, sprockets, and bearings to transmit rotary motion

Linear Shaft Supports

Linear Shaft Supports

Support linear shafts to prevent bending and rolling under loads

Connecting Rods

Connecting Rods

Use with rod ends and swivel joints to link components in push/pull assemblies

Rod Ends

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

Rod End Nuts

Attach to rods, pipe, and tubing to make pivot and hinge points

Rod End Seals

Keep dirt out and lubrication in to extend the life of rod ends

Rod End Inserts

Rod End Inserts

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

Swivel Joints

Handle shaft misalignment where ball joint rod ends won’t fit; also known as spherical bearings

Precision Lead Screws and Nuts

Precision Lead Screws and Nuts

Pair with a motor for accurate starts and stops in automated motion and positioning applications

Lead Screws and Nuts

Lead Screws and Nuts

Move components in a straight line in clamping and heavy duty lifting and lowering applications

Ball Screws and Nuts

Ball Screws and Nuts

Provide smooth travel where high speeds, accurate positioning, and repeatable movement are required

Gas Spring End Fittings

Gas Spring End Fittings

Connect gas springs to mounting studs and brackets

Ball Screw/Splines and Bearings

Ball Screw/Splines and Bearings

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

Lead Screw Collars

Lead Screw Collars

Position components and limit travel along a lead screw

Roller Screws and Nuts

Roller Screws and Nuts

Create more points of contact to handle much higher loads than ball screws and nuts of the same size

End Supports for Ball Screws and Precision Lead Screws

End Supports for Ball Screws and Precision Lead Screws

Brace and secure the ends of ball screws and precision lead screws

Fastening and Joining

Threaded Rods

Anchor, connect, or hang components in a wide variety of applications

Dowel Pins

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

Single-End Studs

Single-End Studs

Use the unthreaded end as a pivot point, hinge, shaft, or locator pin

Coupling Nuts

Connect and extend threaded rods

Standoffs

Separate, position, or connect components in assemblies

Thread Adapters

Thread Adapters

Join threads of a different type, size, and gender

Studs

Press, weld, or screw in place to add a threaded fastening point

Magnets

Attract or repel metal objects to hang, secure, or position them

Threaded Stud and Rod Drivers

Threaded Stud and Rod Drivers

Hold and tighten threaded studs and rods

Fabricating and Machining

Setup Studs

Secure setup clamps and fixtures to your machine table or assemble heavy machines

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

Material Handling

Conveyor Guide Mounting Rods

Conveyor Guide Mounting Rods

Secure guides and other attachments to conveyors

Beam Clamps

Secure lines of pipe and duct, overhead equipment, and lighting fixtures to beam flanges

Measuring and Inspecting

Calibration Rods

Calibration Rods
