High-tension conveyor belt
Designed for use on powered-roller conveyors, the Long-Life High-Tension (HT) Red Belt is an O-ring belt that provides up to 38% more drive power than the company’s Blue Belt. These belts are well suited for curves, inclines and merges, where additional roller drive is required to maintain smooth operation. Additional urethane content provides greater surface area to make contact with the roller for increased gripping and drive power. Composed of proprietary Cyclothane B urethane, this belt offers a working life up to six times longer than comparable alternatives. These belts are offered in USDA and FDA approved versions. Free samples and technical support are offered, and customization is available. Dura-Belt Inc, Hilliard, OH.   www.rsleads.com/209df-247

Custom polymer bearings

Applications include automotive, appliance, marine, medical and office equipment. Thomson Industries Inc, Port Washington, NY.   www.rsleads.com/209df-248

Conveyor
The Easy Clean Slip-Torque conveyor is engineered to reduce the surfaces where contaminants can collect and permit easy thorough cleaning. The conveyor meets USDA, BISSC and NSF criteria. Built from a bolt-together stainless steel frame with 45-degree steel strength bends, it features food compatible, solid-faced, loose fit rollers. With no return loop, contamination is greatly reduced. Customization is available. Shuttleworth Inc, Huntington, IN.   www.rsleads.com/209df-249

Precision gearing
This precision gearing works with standard machine screws or long length threaded rods and adapts to rotary or linear motion applications. Available in a variety of standard sizes, the gearing can be made to order for custom needs.

Miniature bearing caps
These precision miniature brass bearing caps feature a brass alloy that acts as a bearing surface for a steel shaft. The outside dimensions of the parts measure 0.106 in. high with 0.250-in. dia. Tolerances are held to ±0.005-in. down to ±0.001-in. The center hole allows for a smooth fit with a shaft of a production counter device. Similar applications include medical, appliance and consumer electronics. Dejay Industries, Richardson, TX.   www.rsleads.com/209df-254

Thin section bearings
