Bearing And Shaft Supports Are Light In Weight

The latest Ondrives mechanical drive components catalogue features a range of bearing and shaft supports. There are shaft support rails and assemblies with open type ball bushings, available with or without shafts and drilling. These support rails are aluminium as standard, as are the open sided linear sets to suit (bearing not included). If the direction of the load acts towards the open side of an open type ball bushing, the load capacity is severely reduced. These open sided linear sets have been developed to overcome this disadvantage and to permit selective circumferential positioning as well as high rigidity of the open type ball bushing assembly. Also in the range are shaft end support blocks in aluminium and sets for standard linear bearings (bearings not included). These lightweight but heavy-duty aluminium sets offer high accuracy, as they consist of a corrosion resistant, highly rigid aluminium housing. The units can be attached to any surface to offer support in any direction.
