Mechanical Components covers a wide range of items and devices designed to handle, induce, or drive mechanical systems. In almost all cases, mechanical components were manufactured to be part of a greater system, and do not have the ability to function on their own. The mechanical components family includes the following products: bearings and bushings, belts and pulleys, chains and sprockets, clutches and brakes, couplings, collars and universal joints, enclosures, fans and electronic cooling, gears, industrial heaters and heating elements, industrial tools, limit switches, mechanical fasteners, power transmission (mechanical), process equipment, pulleys and belts, seals, solenoids, springs, and switches.
Power transmission areas cover the wide spectrum of gears, locknuts, and other couplings that are used to secure shafts or transmit power throughout drive systems. The gears included in this family are bevel, herringbone, worm, helical, hypoid, miter, and spur and strait tooth, as well as the associated gear stocks and blanks. All of these gears are available in both English and metric configurations. Additional mechanical components in this family include roller chains, belts and belt pulleys, shaft collars, ratchets and pawls, sprockets, and universal joints.
Bearings are components used to provide load support and reduce friction. This family includes ball bearings, bushings and sleeve bearings, cam followers, flange mounted bearings, hanger bearings, linear bearings and rails and guides, pillow block mounted bearings, rod end bearings, roller bearings, shaft - hub locking devices, spherical plain bearings, and take-up bearings and frames.
Belts and pulleys are used in transmission and drive systems. This family covers all such belts used on conveyors, machine tools, and other heavy industrial equipment, as well as the pulleys, flanges and associated components. Covered areas include round and O-ring belts, flat belts, timing belts, (English and metric pitch), V-belts, timing pulleys (English and metric pitch), V-belt and round belt pulleys, and timing pulley flanges.
