Bearings / Bearing Blocks

Flanged Bearing

The Flanged Bearing (REV-21-1916) for 1/2in Rounded Hex is compatible with the REV ION System and provides a way of locating and supporting a 1/2in Rounded Hex Shaft while it rotates. The flange on the outer space of the bearing allows the bearing to be installed in a hole or MAXSpline with no other means of retention.

Needle Bearing

The Needle Bearing (REV-21-2386) with 3/4in ID and 1in OD, fits into MAXSpline Shaft (REV-21-2520) and is used for dead axle applications. Hold it in place securely using a 3/4in Needle Bearing Carrier (REV-21-2385).

Needle Bearings should be lightly greased and not run dry on shafts. We recommend red tacky or other Lithium based grease.

MAXSpline Pillow Block

The MAXSpline Pillow Block is compatible with the REV ION System and allows for MAXSpline Shaft (REV-21-2520) to be rigidly mounted to any surface featuring a 2in mounting hole pattern. This enables easy attachment to rotating high torque applications.

MAXSpline Pillow Block

Specifications

• Material: Aluminum 6061

• Finish: Black Anodized

• Overall Length: 60.3mm (2.38in)

• Overall Height: 44.5mm (1.75in)

• Width: 12.7mm (0.50in)

• MAXSpline bore

• #10 screw clearance holes on 2in spacing for mounting

• Weight: 29g (0.063lbs)

Ideal for use with the MAX 180 Degree Gearbox or Linear Actuator. The small notch, located between the mounting points, is designed to clear the MAX 180 output shaft, which connects to the linear actuator. This feature provides an in-line rotation point for the linear actuator.

The MAXSpline Pillow Block may also be used to support bearings, create a dead axle mount, or as part of support of an angled structural design just to name a few examples.

MAXSpline Shaft Bearing Blocks

The MAXSpline Shaft Bearing Block Kit and MAXSpline Bearings are perfect for using MAXSpline Shaft in a live axle application or any other similar sized rotational needs.

MAXSpline Shaft Bearing Blocks

It's recommended to support most applications with a minimum of two MAXSpline Shaft Bearing Blocks properly spaced for best results.

Specifications:

• MAXSpline Bearing - Radial

• Material: Steel

• OD: 47mm (1.850in)

• ID: 35mm (1.378in)

• Width: 7mm (0.276in)

MAXSpline Bearing Blocks

MAXSpline Bearing Blocks quickly add bearing support to any location on REV ION extrusion without the need for precision machining.
