Power Transmission

Enhance the safety of processes with these dampening products. Available in adjustable force, fixed force and automatic locking types. Multiple force ratings and stroke lengths to choose from.

Mount the screws, nuts and carriages to these flanges to create a turnkey solution for your linear motion applications. Available in different diameters and thread sizes.

Reid Supply offers ball and acme nuts for the reliable transfer of loads in a linear fashion. Available in square, round and flanged options.

Ball screw products improve load capacity, speed, accuracy and overall life while acmw products improve noise cancellation, vertical applications and backlash.

A great liason between the shaft and the carriage, these bushings can handle a moderate amount of load while moving at a fast rate.

Ball bearing carriages allow for minor misalignements and offer a wide range of linear movements. The integrated rolling elements greatly reduce friction.

Ball bearing guide rails are easy to assemble and give a long service life even with heavy loads or over long distances.

Featuring closed and open bearing housing styles for ease of maintenance. Comes with and without a flange option to suit your application needs.

Explore our breadth of modular assemblies with multiple size and travel options. These products effectively minimize problems related to impact and shock, over the lifetime of the bearing.

Ball bearings are capable of rotational speeds that exceed the limits of a plain bearing. Available in sealed, shielded, metal, non-metal and open versions.

Bearings often need to be serviced or replaced in the field. Reid Supply acknowledges that and offers inner rings, retaining rings, seals and lubricants as a result.

Protect your actuators and couplings from contaminants with our offering of boots and bellows. Available in round and rectangular shapes.

Shaft collars have extremely diverse applications and fall into three main categories, positioners, spacers and limiters. Reid Supply has all the main types from one-piece, two-piece, hinged, set screw aand self-locking shaft collars that will fit most shaft types from round to keyed, threaded or even a support rail.

Crossed roller slide assemblies are known for their high load capacities, low maintenance needs and accuracy. They excel in areas where ball bearing slide assemblies cannot.

Rotary dampers provide an invisible yet valuable service as a maintenance-free machine element to allow controlled deceleration of rotary movements. They are often necessary to make careful opening and closing of small lids, compartments and drawers possible. They protect sensitive components while increasing the quality and value of products. They are easy to integrate. The harmoniously gentle movements of these little decelerators can be achieved with continual rotation or with limited pivoting angles.

Dovetail slides typically have a larger contact area as compared to other sliding assemblies, providing a high stiffness and load bearing capacity. The dovetail interconnects the saddle and base and guides the travel of the saddle. Dovetail slides can be preloaded with the gib adjustment for increased friction. Applications include automation, shuttle devices, fixtures, work holding and press loading

Flexible couplings allow for some misalignment but rotational speed may be slightly compromised. Available as both assemblies and individual components (hubs, sleeves, halves and spiders).

Mount your gas springs with ease with our ball and eyelet type end fittings and mounting brackets. Various materials to choose from!

Gearing systems are less intricate and have lesser mating components compared to other linear motion components. This allows gear racks to be able to function over long distances.

Reid Supply offers miter and spur gears which are amongst the most economical gears in the power transmission industry. Spur gears are used to transmit power between parallel shafts while miter gears are used to transmit power between perpendicular shafts.

Guide bushings provide a simple method for mounting guide wheels in a precise and rigid fashion. Insert a fastener with a washer in the through hole to attach wheels to machinery. Concentric version is for mounting in a fixed location. The eccentric version has an offset hole to provide an adjustable position and allow wheel fit-up adjustment to parallel guide track.

These idler shafts are hardened and ground for maximum idler life. To ensure maximum rigidity, they are shouldered and threaded into units and locked with a set screw.

Available in solid and bored options, the shape of the yoke is a special feature which results in exceptionally high strength, yet allows full, free movement of the joint. This accounts for the high horsepower capacity at high speeds.

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.

With springs being such an integral part of power transmission applications, Reid Supply has about every kind of spring: compression springs, die springs, solid springs, drawbar springs, extension springs, torsion springs, etc.
