Glass

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

Power Transmission

Rotary Shafts

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

Lead Screws and Nuts

Lead Screws and Nuts

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

Sealing

Backer Rods

Insert into gaps before caulking to reduce how much sealant you need and improve adhesion
