Tube Fittings
(1,111 companies)
Tube fittings connect runs of tubing for in-line, offset, multi-port, and mounting configurations to other tubing sections, pipe, hose, and other fluid transfer components.
Plastic Molding Services
(2,502 companies)
Plastic molding services use a number of different molding techniques to produce components, including thermoplastic and thermoset injection molding, blow molding (includes injection blow molding), rotational molding, thermoforming, structural foam molding, compression molding, resin transfer molding (RTM), and others.
Miniature Bearings and Instrument Bearings
(156 companies)
Miniature bearings and instrument bearings carry moderate radial and thrust loads at low operating torque while providing high performance in a small envelope design. These types of bearings are single row ball bearings available in up to 1 1/8" outer diameter (OD) sizes
Water Pumps
(855 companies)
...suspended solids or particulates. These pumps are not so much a type of pump as they are a classification based on the media being transferred. Nearly every pump type that is defined by either a complementary application (fountain water pumps...
Turntables
(172 companies)
Turntables are horizontal, rotatable mechanisms for transferring objects between conveyors that are in angular relation to one another.
Check Valves
(1,919 companies)
The mechanics of check valve operation are relatively simple. Most check valves contain a ball that sits freely above the seat, which has only one through-hole. The ball has a slightly larger diameter than that of the through-hole. When the pressure behind...
Tilt Switches
(51 companies)
Tilt Switches are electric switches in which an electrical circuit is made by mercury or other device flowing or moving into a gap when the device tilts to a pre-specified angle. How to Select Tilt Switches. Tilt switches transfer a change-of-state...
Plastic Valves

...good wear resistance and excellent chemical resistance, but does not perform well at elevated temperatures. Types. There are many types of plastic valves. Ball valves provide tight shut-offs, but are not suitable for sanitary applications. Butterfly...
Piston Pumps and Plunger Pumps
(600 companies)
Piston pumps and plunger pumps are reciprocating positive displacement pumps that use a plunger or piston to move media through a cylindrical chamber.
Gearboxes and Gearheads
(975 companies)
Gearboxes and gearheads, also called gear reducers or speed reducers, are power transmission devices that use a gear arrangement in an enclosed housing to transfer energy, increase torque and reduce speed from one device to another. Gearboxes may also be referred to as gear reducers or speed reducers.
Valve Actuators
(863 companies)
...motion and operation style are important specifications to consider when selecting valve actuators. Valve Method of Control. Rotary motion valves (rotary valves) such as ball, plug, and butterfly valves rotate a quarter-turn or more from open to close...
Ball Screws
(237 companies)
Ball screws convert rotary motion to linear motion, or torque to thrust, and vice versa. They are primarily a power screw with a train of ball bearings riding between the screw and the nut in a recirculating track.
Ball Splines
(36 companies)
Ball splines provide nearly friction-free linear motion while simultaneously transmitting torsional loads. The path of the bearing balls is straight, not helical, which allows for a very efficient coupling device suitable for a variety of applications.
Ball Slides
(101 companies)
Ball slides are simple linear motion devices that provide smooth linear motion, accurately controlled by the rotation of the drive mechanism.
Rod End Bearings
(259 companies)
Rod end bearings contain a bearing that can accommodate a shaft or rod with varying misalignment. They attach to a static rod via a threaded shaft.
