Band Saw Guide Roller
This special cam follower bearing was developed for a power tool manufacturer to reduce cost from the needle bearing they had been using. By replacing the needles with a double row of balls and special steel, we were able to exceed the manufacturer's life requirements and still save them 60% on the unit cost! This saved the company several hundred thousand dollars a year by redesigning only one component of one product. |

Meat Packing Conveyor Bearing
The original bearings used in this customer's conveyors were failing rapidly because of the daily high pressure steam cleaning they received. So we developed a corrosion resistant stainless steel bearing that would survive the heavy loads and daily cleaning. The hexagonal bore on this bearing prevents inner race rotation on the shaft. |

Computer Printer Bearing
This special pulley bearing was developed for an office products company to simplify their product's design and assembly as well as reduce costs. They had been using three separate components: a pulley, a miniature precision bearing, and a stud. We combined all three parts into an integral unit saving the company over 75% on materials alone! The reduced assembly time and fewer inventories were an additional bonus. |
