Hydraulic Grease Fittings are used to feed lubricants into hydraulic component bearings using a grease gun. These grease fittings are available in a range of styles and head types for standard, NPT, metric threaded, or press fit applications.

Hook Clamp Assemblies are ideal for use on jig and fixture quick build systems to generate holding power in close quarters with direct downward clamping force. The hook clamp easily swings out of the way for unloading once released.

These reels automatically maintain the working length of the hose/cord and store them when not in use to eliminate trip hazards. The guide arm allows for mounting on floors, walls, ceilings, benches or pits and saves time over manual coiling. These durable hose and cord reels have an easily rotatable handle for smooth, even wraps.

General Purpose Single Acting Hydraulic Cylinders produce a linear force using pressurized hydraulic fluid to transfer power from fluid pressure to the piston and into the rod. These cylinders have a maximum operating pressure of 10,000 psi and included coupler.

ID Expansion Clamps are excellent for palletized setups in secondary operations on lathe parts. These clamps are made of mild steel for machinability to size on lathe or mill and allow more parts per work cube or fixture plate.

A keyed shaft works in unison with a rotating machine element to transmit torque to power transmission components. Available in various key sizes and diameters.

Knife Cam Edge Clamps can be used for clamping rough cut stock, castings and any material that requires a hardened clamping element.

Designed for light-duty clamping, the hand knob eliminates wrenching for faster work changes. Spherical washer allows for clamping irregular surfaces.

Plain Grip Machine Strap Clamps reach over the work piece and hold it in place for maximum pressure. These clamps are available machined from solid bar stock or tempered steel with a varnished finish.

Pneumatic Block Hold Down Clamps provide clamping force from the top, wedging work pieces down against the work surface. Styles include automation power clamps, power rollers, and heavy duty clamps to best suit your application.

Pneumatic Cylindrical Hold Down Clamps provide activating force for over-center toggle clamps, applying pressure from the top. These cylinders are built to perform repetitive production operations with a magnetic ring for sensing capability.

Pneumatic Push Pull Clamps are used to apply pressure vertically in a straight-line action. Use clamps to wedge your project up against a rail or pair with another push pull clamp to apply force against each other in a vise-like application.

Rectabngular Electromagnets use a controlled electrical current to control the strength of the magnetic field. These plug-in electromagnets have controlled holding power and on command release.

Featuring one-piece clamp, two-piece clamp and set screw styles. Keyed and keyless bores available. Clamp screws are forged and treated with an anti-vibration coating to keep them from loosening.

Roller bearings can offer higher load capacities than ball bearings by virtue of their line contact versus point contact (used in ball bearings). These bearings can be utilized for general use and within engine connecting rods.

These products are compact that can support and guide heavy loads with high accuracy, excellent repeatability and low friction.

Reid Suppply provides high-quality roller systems for heavy duty applications. Made with hardened steel these rollers ensure maximum durability.

These come as one and two piece assemblies. The one piece integrated design eliminates assembly time but cannot be used with ball bearings. The two piece assembly comes with pre-drilled holes for easy installation.

Mount your shock absorbers with convenience with our offering of mounting blocks, stop collars and locknuts. Multiple thread sizes to choose from!

Shock absorbers optimize machines in a reliable and effective way by decelerating loads quickly without recoil. Choose from adjustable and self-compensating force types.

These carriages are low profile and self lubricating and are excellent alternatives to linear ball bearing systems. They dampen vibrations and tolerate shock loads. Corrosion-resistant material. No metal-to-metal contact or rolling elements to trap contamination, skid or damage the rail. Operation is consistent, smooth and quiet. Used in packaging machines, medical eqipment, wash-down and harsh environments.

This two-piece system is easy to assemble. The rail and carriage are made of 6063-T6 Aluminum. Rails are ceramic coated to resist corrosion, repel weld splatter and contaminants. Carraiges have T-slots for nuts and bolts.

Sleeve bearings require no external lubrication. High load capacity allows for more compact design. Available in square and round shapes.

Available in polymer and metal. Suitable for rotary and oscillating motion. While the polymer rod ends feature self lubrication, the metal ones combine high strength with low cost.

Triangular Step Blocks have long angled serrated edges that fit together so the top block is the same height as the work piece to level a set-up clamp. Step blocks are sold in pairs but a single step block can be used with a serrated step clamp.
