Pins and bearings.This line of precision pins and bearings is made of such exotic materials as sapphire, ruby, titanium, beryllium, bronze and a variety of industrial ceramics including tungsten carbide (with nickel binder). These pins and bearings are intended for applications such as meters, medical spirometers, tachometers, micromotors and control systems. Sapphire, with a hardness of 1,800 vickers, is the second hardest material known, while the hardness of tungsten carbide (1,500 vickers) is also impressive. Industrial ceramics and gems are also light in weight (density 4.0) and can withstand extremely high temperatures -- up to 3,700°F for sapphire. The materials used are fully biocompatible.

General purpose bearings. The Simplicity line of bearings
features no metal-to-metal contact, self-lubrication, no moving parts, shock loading and
vibration dampening qualities. They are used in automotive assembly plants, foundries,
assembly equipment, automation components, welding guns, paper mills, packaging equipment,
semiconductor manufacturing and more. Pacific Bearing, PO Box 6980,
Rockford, IL 61125. 800-962-8979. 
Thin section bearings. This full product line is available
from 1- to 20-in. These bearings are manufactured in three basic types: radial, angular,
and 4-point contact. They are made from 52100 bearing steel, as well as stainless and tool
steels. A wide variety of separators can be specified for each particular application.
Even with the slim profile, the bearings have high stiffness and multi-load capabilities. RBC
Bearings, 400 Sullivan Way, PO Box 77430,
Tube bearings. The Tubearing line of double-row angular contact
ball bearings can replace two single-row ball bearings in applications where there are
moderate loads and low speeds (below 1500 RPM). This industrial grade, full complement
bearing can accept both radial and axial loads, and is ideal for non-critical
applications. Uses include a wide range of material handling and general wheeled
equipment. SKF USA, 1510 Gehman Rd, PO Box 332, Kulpsville, PA 19443-0332.
800-541-3624. Circle 568.
Linear roller bearings. Round Way bearings, combined with
Linear Race shafts, make station changing on robotic welding and automotive assembly
machines fast and easy since no costly joints are required. System rails stay bolted in
place, while the station with its separate rail section is removed and replaced. These
bearings provide precision positioning while carrying loads as high as 70,000 lbs per
bearing. Thomson Industries, 2 Channel Dr, Port Washington, NY 11050-2214.
800-554-8466.
Lubrication system. The K1 lubrication system features an
oil-impregnated synthetic resin that provides self-lubrication while simultaneously
reducing oil contamination to the external environment. Because of the K1 self-lubricating
design, it is ideal for medical products that require clean conditions where oil
dispersion and contamination can be an issue. In addition, the system is constructed of
materials that meet strict FDA standards. NSK, 250 Covington Dr,
Bloomingdale, IL 60108. 800-255-4773. 
Arm bushings. Arlon 1555 road arm bushings use thermoplastic
technology to replace phosphor bronze bushings used in suspension systems on armored
infantry fighting vehicles. When tested at high speeds on arduous terrains it had a
maximum wear of 0.4mm radially and sustained no damage to the mating surface. The product
eliminates metal to metal contact, has high operational temperatures, radiation resistance
and is insensitive to contamination. Greene, Tweed & Co, 1555 Bustard
Rd, Suite 130, PO Box 217, Kulpsville, PA 19443. 215-256-9521.
