Normal Duty (Oilite bearing) assemblies can be used for any application where the
running speed does not exceed 2000 rpm and the duty cycle is low. Applications include;
Remote operation of valves, potentiometers, gears, rollers etc…
High Duty (Ball bearing) assemblies can be used for any applications where the running
speed does not exceed the values given in the MasterFlex performance table. Applications
include; Hand held tools (drills, lapping discs etc…), connection of a motor to an appliance
where the motor (for safety, noise, or cleanliness reasons) needs to be mounted at a distance
from the appliance.
It is normal to have at least one type M or R end (with locknuts) to prevent the casing from
rotating during operation. End connectors are available in a choice of bore sizes and are fitted
with grub screws as standard. If you require other types of end connector, e.g. Square, Keyway,
Alternative bore sizes etc… then please contact our sales office who will be happy to advise. Tel: +44 (0)1908 525120, email insales@sswhite.co.uk
