Wave springs,Booth 9027. This company manufactures a full line of wave springs for a variety of static and/or dynamic axial compression applications. The line includes single-turn, bearing preload, and peak-to-peak springs. These springs are load-bearing devices that take up play and compensate for dimensional variations within assemblies. They provide the same deflection but require less axial space than round wire springs. Spirolox Division of Kaydon Corp, Fenton, MO. Free info--Circle 939. http://www.OneRS.net/103df-939

Constant force springs,Booth 9436. Constant force springs can help to remove the effect of gravity. Apart from windows, they are used to counter-balance the weight of heavy machine heads so that smaller motors may be used for precise movement. The same spring has diverse applications. One spring is used as a timer mechanism in small anti-personnel mines as well as in a device that helps repair damaged tendons in hands. Springco Industries Inc, Louisville, KY.

Ball bearings,Booth 8818. The XR Series ball bearing offers a unique 4-point contact ball geometry, which enables one bearing to handle simultaneous radial, axial and moment loading. An internal diametral preload provides greater stiffness and minimum free play. The deep groove design will not lock up in the presence of off center loads. This weather-resistant bearing is offered in geared and non-geared versions, and in a variety of diameters. KMS Bearings Inc, Anaheim, CA. Free info--Circle 944. http://www.OneRS.net/103df-944
