Adapt needle-roller thrust bearings to use on unhardened, unground surfaces.

Adapt high-precision needle-roller bearings to use on unhardened, unground shafts.

For applications with frequent starts and stops, the oil in these bearings contains particles of slippery PTFE that lubricate the bearing during startup.

Handle heavy loads that frequently start and stop along shafts—these bearings contain extra iron and slippery PTFE lubricant. They’re thrust bearings, which means they support loads parallel to the shaft.

The oil in these bearings is suitable for incidental contact with food.

Use these bearings in applications with frequent starts and stops because they operate with very little friction.

Graphite provides a layer of dry lubrication that operates in high-temperature environments.

Made of FDA listed materials for use in food applications, these bearings also withstand caustic and washdown environments.

These bronze bearings are strong, wear resistant, and excellent at handling shock loads.

A combination of stainless steel and nylon components provide increased corrosion resistance over standard thrust ball bearings.

Use these bearings as miniature high-precision turntables. They have a unique design that allows your shaft to sit on top of the bearing rather than being inserted through it.

Be prepared with ring shims in a variety of thicknesses. These shims fit around fasteners and shafts to precisely align, level, and adjust spacing.

Precisely align, level, and adjust spacing on fasteners, shafts, and machinery with these shims, which are color-coded by thickness for easy identification.

These shims are made of layers of metal bonded with adhesive. Remove layers with a utility knife until you get the thickness you need.

Adjust spacing between bearings and other components on shafts. These shims are sized to fit the outer rim of a bearing.

Precisely shaped to fit snugly on keyed shafts, these shims align, level, and space components. Because of their tight fit, they also help components rotate in unison with the shaft.

Be prepared with shims in a variety of thicknesses. Also known as arbor spacers, these shims are notched to fit over keyed shafts.

Spin these shims onto screw threads to extend the shoulder length.

Be prepared with shims in a variety of thicknesses. These shims are shaped to fit over D-profile shafts. Use them to precisely align, level, and adjust spacing.

Spin these tight-fitting shims onto your screw's threads to lengthen the shoulder.

Place these shims under sharpened dies to restore their original height and extend the life of the dies.

4130 alloy steel has a low carbon content that provides good weldability. It's often used for gears, fasteners, and structural applications.

Also known as chrome steel, 52100 is an extremely hard and wear-resistant material. It’s used for parts such as bearings, bushings, and punches.

In addition to a low-friction surface that prevents sticking and binding, this tough material is impact and wear resistant to handle the scuffs, scrapes, and strikes that other plastics can’t.

A good choice for making sprockets and pulleys, these cast nylon 6 tubes withstand higher temperatures and are easier to machine than standard nylon 6/6 tubes.
