Power Transmission

Shock Absorbers

Shock Absorbers

Slow and stop loads to reduce impact that can damage equipment like conveyors, lifters, and presses

Speed Limiters

Control the speed of movement for attached components such as doors, panels, and drill presses

Springs

Apply and absorb force with compression, die, extension, torsion, and disc springs

Air Springs

Absorb vibration in moving equipment such as conveyors and transfer stations; lift and level loads

Shaft Couplings

Shaft Couplings

Connect two shafts to transfer rotary motion from one to the other

Shear Couplings

Shear Couplings

Sever the connection between shafts when there's too much torque to protect parts from breaking

Plain Bearings

With no moving parts, the simplest type of bearing

Ball Bearings

Create less friction than other bearings for use at high speeds

Building and Machinery Hardware

Bumpers

Absorb impact to protect equipment and surfaces from dents and scuffs

Surface Guards

Protect walls and other flat surfaces from impact

Crane Bumpers

Resist heavy hits on cranes to protect walls or beams and extend crane life

Door Silencers

Close doors quietly and keep them from rattling in their frames

Edge Trim

Install on panels, boards, signs, and mirrors to protect edges from impact

Door Stops

Keep doors from slamming into and damaging walls

Protective Film

Protective Film

Temporarily adhere to surfaces to protect them from scratches, nicks, and dirt

Corner Guards

Shield corners on walls and other surfaces from impact

Wall Bases

Protect the bottom of walls from foot traffic and impact

Wear Plates

Often used on conveyors to reduce friction where parts bump into equipment to extend service life

Lockset Bumpers

Lockset Bumpers

Protect knobs and hardware on doors from carts, dollies, and other equipment

Tubing Guards

Safeguard pipe, tubing, and other round equipment from impact

Door Kick Plates

Door Kick Plates

Protect door bases from foot traffic and equipment; also known as armor and mop plates

Panel Connecting Trim

Panel Connecting Trim

Connect two panels while protecting the edges from damage

Door Edge Plates

Door Edge Plates

Reinforce door edges to guard them against damage from foot traffic and equipment

Vibration-Damping Mounts

Vibration-Damping Mounts

Attach to machinery to reduce vibration and noise and extend service life

Leveling Mounts

Leveling Mounts

Level machines and workbenches on uneven surfaces, reduce vibration, and protect floors

Vibration-Damping Pads

Place under machinery to reduce vibration and noise, extending service life and protecting floors

Protective Feet

Protective Feet

Add to furniture and light equipment to protect floors from scratches and wear

Knobs

Position, tighten, and secure fixtures and equipment

Cam Latches

Secure drawers, cabinets, mailboxes, and other enclosures

Door Bumpers

Protect large swinging doors from impact where carts and vehicles often push them open

Raw Materials

Foam

Pockets of air make it lighter in weight than rubber; good for packing, insulating, and sealing

Rubber

Compresses and bounces back to shape; often used for sealing, cushioning, and shock absorbing

Felt

Thicker and more absorbent than fabric for insulating, polishing, cushioning, and gasketing

Safety Equipment

Fall-Arrest Anchor Spans

Fall-Arrest Anchor Spans

Anchor your fall-arrest lanyard along horizontal or vertical spans; also called lifelines

Fall-Arrest Lanyards

Fall-Arrest Lanyards

Clip to your harness and an anchor to stop you from hitting the ground if you fall

Vibration-Damping Sheets

Vibration-Damping Sheets

Stick to duct, housings, and other vibrating equipment to reduce noise

Vibration-Damping Coatings

Apply to irregularly shaped equipment and large areas to reduce noise from vibration

Bollards

Anchor to the ground or floor to block vehicle access

Guardrails

Protect pedestrian walkways from vehicles

Fastening and Joining

Locknuts

Hold fasteners in place to prevent loosening from vibration

Spacers

Unthreaded to create space between two surfaces or objects, often to align them

Standoffs

Threaded to separate or connect parts as well as position components in assemblies

Material Handling

Routing Clamps

Secure routed lines of pipe, tubing, and conduit

Routing Clamp Rails

Routing Clamp Rails

Use with rail-mount routing clamps to route pressurized lines in hydraulic systems

Loop Clamps

Hold pipe snug against the mounting surface to prevent movement that may cause breakage

Pipe Hangers

Suspend pipe, conduit, and tube from threaded rods, hooks, and straps

Vibration-Damping Hangers

Vibration-Damping Hangers

Reduce vibration and noise in suspended equipment, such as air-handling units, pipe, and duct

U-Bolts

Anchor heavy pipe, tube, and conduit; stronger than routing clamps and hangers

Dock Bumpers

Prevent damage to docks and vehicles by absorbing impacts

Electrical

Potting Compounds

Potting Compounds

Encase electronic assemblies in material that hardens to protect from dust, moisture, and vibration

Fluid Handling

Pipe and Pipe Fittings

Pipe and Pipe Fittings

Generally thicker and more rigid than tubing for distributing liquids and gases through your facility

Tube and Tube Fittings

Tube and Tube Fittings

Typically more flexible than pipe for carrying liquids and gases in short runs around equipment

Facility and Grounds Maintenance
