Custom plastic bearings
A plastic bearing solution to suit any application can be delivered quickly with no lead time. Sixteen high-performance, engineered polymers (such as Q for high loads, H for wet environments, and L280 for extended service life) boast unique properties. All bearings come in traditional sleeve, flange, and thrust washer design but can be molded to meet an unusual application.

Safe couplings
Tamper resistant (locking) Swing-Couplings cannot be removed without the use of a special tool. This makes them the perfect coupling in plants that need to restrict workers’ ability to change out pneumatic tools. The coupling possesses inherent safety features that allow for safe connection and disconnection without pressure kickback or hose whip.
