An office equipment manufacturer needed to be able to place two bearings in a piece of equipment in close proximity to other parts. The problem was that the bearings were too small to hold enough oil to lubricate the bearings for the entire life of the product.

Perry Tool & Research was able to solve this problem by designing a part that combined the two bearings and the three other parts that attached to the bearings into one single part. With this design, the whole part can be impregnated with oil. In addition, the two bearings are designed to maintain their close center distance tolerances. The part also facilitates the attachment of two other sheet metal pieces.

Combining multiple part functionality into a single part reduced the both the material cost and the inventory cost of the individual parts and saved the manufacturer assembly costs as well.
