SDS Billet Bearing Blocks are the core of an incredibly efficient and smooth elevator mechanism.
SDS Billet Elevator Bearing Blocks are designed to integrate with tube plugs and commonly available pre-drilled or punched 2x1 tubing. Attach 1 or 2 tube plugs to a bearing block depending on where it is used on an elevator. These allow the connection between the box tube and the Bearing Blocks to be primarily inside of the box tube, resulting in an incredibly low profile.
These premium bearings blocks utilize cam followers for the primary load direction. Cam followers are designed for the line contact loading present in FRC elevators and have a higher load rating when compared to similarly sized ball bearings. Cam followers also have a much larger face width than typical bearings, allowing for more overlap to prevent elevator stages from becoming dislodged.
SDS bearing blocks come with 2 sets of spacers for the cam followers. Users can decide if they would like to use the long spacers for maximum bearing overlap, or the short spacers if needed for screw head clearance.
