RPP drive belt

Eliminator belt is engineered to replace any RPP tooth-profile belt of the same width and comparable length, while providing double the service life of RPP belts. Designed to run on existing RPP sprockets and idlers, and with the same tension as the original RPP belt, these high-performance, poly-urethane synchronous belts have been tested to last or the cost will be refunded.

Desiccant breather

Watchdog desiccant breathers are a unique particle filtration and water removal system. They prevent contaminants from entering equipment as air is breathed in and out due to thermal expansion or fluid level changes. They are designed to replace traditional vent caps on gearboxes, reservoirs, and storage tanks.

Grid coupling

1000 Series grid couplings combine high-torque, high-horsepower operation with vibration, shock, and misalignment capabilities not provided by other metallic coupling types. The couplings feature an advanced design with a high-tensile alloy grid that reduces vibration by as much as 30%, cushions shock loads, and compensates for parallel, angular, and axial misalignment.

Vertical pump bearings

97000 Series angular contact ball bearing sets feature a split inner ring to accommodate thrust in either direction, provide extremely high thrust-carrying capacity, and allow for an optimum ball complement in their assembly. They can serve as ideal solutions for handling heavy loads, especially in vertical pumps, since their two bearing sets act in tandem to share the primary thrust load.
