Iglide plastic plain bearings contain solid lubricants, so no oil or grease is required. This prevents environmental contamination. The lightweight bearings reduce the mass of vehicles and aircraft, cutting fuel consumption and carbon dioxide output.

“Twin tandem” four-row angular contact ball bearings for SUV and light-truck wheel-hub assemblies reduce fuel consumption and carbon- dioxide output. This design replaces each row of tapered rollers with two ball rolls to create a fourrow ball system that lowers rib and bearing friction

Available with cylindrical or tapered bores in diameters ranging from 5 to 130 mm, the MRC self-aligning ball bearings  come in open or sealed types and in various cage materials (polyamide, machined brass, or pressed steel).

Pressurized air applied to the air bearing’s cylinder creates a stiff cushion of air to support the piston. The airflow effect prevents the piston from contacting the cylinder wall, resulting in virtually unlimited piston life, no lubrication, and clean operation.

Many of the new XYZ-axis stages feature a precise linear ball-guide system that creates a Gothic archgroove ball guide on both the upper and lower sides of the stage body.  A low-temp black chrome plating is available for low-light reflectivity or operation in harsh environments.

IronHorse worm gearboxes have double-lipped embedded oil seals to prevent leakage.  The gearboxes, designed to change drive direction by 90°, mount in any direction except with the motor pointing up.

Power Generation Chek Valves can be disassembled and serviced in the field using rebuild kits. The valves are suitable for use in purge air, water injection, and liquid-fuel applications.

The 500 Series 200 motorized pumps handle clean, clear liquids as well as abrasive and corrosive fluids in a variety of material-transfer and metering applications.

The Tacmina PZ Series electronic metering pumps accurately and reliably inject liquids, including chemicals, nutrients, and disinfectants.

The lightweight 2450 Series WOB-L compressor measures 8.3 × 4.0 × 6.4 in. and operates at 50 dBA @ 20 psig.

The Fluid Metering Catalog covers operating principles, pump capacities, motor characteristics, materials of construction, and ordering information.

A new line of timing pulleys feature a configurable hub that suits any shaft hole and flange requirement.
