Felt

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

Niobium

Conductive and corrosion resistant even at extreme temperatures—all with material certificates for traceability

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

Hot Air Welding Rods

Hot Air Welding Rods

Melt with heat from a welder to create joints between pieces of plastic

Stick Electrodes

Stick Electrodes

Flux coated for stability and speed when welding most metals

Tungsten Electrodes

Tungsten Electrodes

Heat in TIG torches to create welds

Brazing Alloys

Form stronger bonds between metal parts than solder without melting the base material

Power Transmission

Rotary Shafts

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

Linear Shafts

Pair with linear bearings and shaft supports to create smooth, precise motion
