Case Study: Pulley Assembly for Paper Transport System

AST goes beyond supplying standard bearings, providing precision mechanical sub-assemblies. We specialize in assemblies that incorporate precision bearings and components manufactured to the most exacting specifications.

One example was a request to provide a customer with a low-cost, maintenance-free assembly for long life in a harsh paper dust environment. The solution: a ready-to-install pulley assembly, which incorporates two chrome ABEC 3 bearings with PTFE seals in an anodized aluminum with a stainless steel shaft.

Assembly Details:

  • Bearings: Two chrome ball bearings, ABEC-3 precision with PTFE seals
  • Shaft: stainless steel
  • Housing: Anodized aluminum
