DRIVES & WHEELS

Good-bye backaches. Save your sacroiliac with a 3-wheeled professional mover's dolly. It measures 6-3/8" wide between a trio of swivel casters with 1-9/16" x 11/16" wheels, and has a drop-down center and a 1/2" dia hole for permanent attachment to frequently moved items. Steel construction, 110 lb max load (so not piano-duty), and rubber pads above each wheel. Stands 2-1/2" tall. We think ordering (4) would be a good place to start.

This 11-1/2" dia x 1-3/4" width wheel is so nice it makes us wish we had a wagon to attach it to. Wheel itself has black tread that extends 3/4” beyond the wheel. The rim, which fits on a 1/2” axel, is white with three swirling spokes. Both wheel and rim are durable plastic. This is one wonderful wheel.

Never seemed fair to nail the "lazy" tag so permanently on the "Susans" but that probably has no "bearing" on the issue. Also called turntable bearings, they are the square or circular flat ball bearing devices YOU bolt between two flat objects to achieve rotation. Like that spinning center section of a Chinese restaurant table. We had these in surplus once and they were quite popular. To our chagrin, we discovered they could be bought commercially for the same price. So we did. The 4" square version is rated for a 300lb. load and the 12" round for 1000lbs.

You’re on a roll. You’ve been on a roll for years and you know it. Keep it going with this set of (6) 5/8" dia steel ball casters on 2" x 1-3/8" plates with 5/32" mounting holes. Rated for a max load of 35 lbs, and come on, you’ve got a million things under 35 lbs that need rolling.

These light-duty plastic casters are on swiveling stems and have dual 1-1/2" dia x 5/16" wheels in 1-7/8" x 1-3/16" hemispheric housings. Stems are striated steel, 3/8" dia x 3/4" long. We're thinking these would be fine for your average chair. Our each is a bag of (4).

Shepherd oil resistant rubber Viper scooter wheel. 2-1/2" diameter x 7/8" wide with a 1/4" id hub. Max load per wheel is 80 lbs. Weighs in at 1/2 lbs.

Plastic utility wheel. 3-1/2" diameter x 1-1-4" wide and a 5/16" hub. Ribbed tread. Weighs in at 1/2 lbs.

Steel. Not used but a little rusty from storage. Handy. Measures 3-1/2" dia with a single 1/2” ID sheave with a 2-1/8" x 1-5/8" dia hub and a keyed 1” ID bore. Drilled for a 1/4” - 16 setscrew (not included). Made in the USA.

That's what these nylon bushings were made for, but they're suitable for anything that could use a little bushing. Our middle-sized measures 15/16" dia x 15/32" thick with a 3/8" bore and a slight taper.

A nice pulley just ready to be combined into the block and tackle you need for tiny jobs, like trimming your bonsai trees or hauling your model boat out of the pond. Get this block with (1) sheave and rig up whatever you need. Each block has an aluminum frame about 3–1/2” long with “S” hooks on each end. The sheaves, or wheels are about 2” dia x 1/4” wide, with a “V” groove that looks perfect to handle 1/8” or smaller Venetian blind cord. These dudes are perfect for demonstrating mechanical advantage in the physics lab! But not for heavy lifting.

Rubber tread wheel 7-3/4" x 2" wide cross tread. 1/2" id hub. weighing in at 3 lbs.

Bring these bearings to bear on your next project. Our supply and variety is constantly rolling over so get ‘em while we got ‘em!. Click on the bearing name to see a large photo of your favorite.

This rope hoist has drop-forged, zinc-plated eye-hooks and claims to be rated for a 2,000-lb working load, but we think that's a misprint. Great for easily hoisting lumber and pails of gravel, but leave your grand piano on the first floor, or hire the professionals. The eye-hooks are 2" x 1-3/8" x 1/4" ID, and the nylon triple pulleys provide a 7:1 lift ratio. Includes (65) feet of 1/4” dia poly rope so it stays strong when wet.

These translucent silicone O-rings are 1/8" thick and measure 3-1/2" dia. Nice belts for science-project motors and even nicer for your slingshot needs. Crafters will see jewelry material that the metal-detectors won't care about.

Just a real soft name for a hunk of cast iron that holds a sealed bearing. This one measures 3-1/4" wide x 2-3/4" tall x 1-3/4" with a pair of 3/8" mounting holes in the bottom and a 1-15/16" sealed bearing with a 1" ID x 1-3/8" dia x 1-11/32" long bushing with two setscrews to hold a lube-fitting on top.

We didn’t make this wheel, even though it says “Jarvis” on it. We’d be happy to claim it, though. Measures 4" dia x 1" wide in black plastic with a smooth, gray rubber tread extending 3/8” beyond the wheel. Fits a 5/16” axle, and Jarvis stands by it.

Biggest industrial bearing we’ve seen in a dog’s age, and we’ve got some old industrial dogs around here. This shielded, single-direction roller thrust bearing is 80mm OD x 30mm ID x 36mm thick. Unique bore. Will fit either 30mm square or 31mm round shaft. Part #208PP5.

These small swivel plate casters have dual 1-3/8” dia plastic wheels on coincidentally 1-3/8” square mounting plates with (4) holes. Measure just under 2” tall and are screaming to be used to make rolling plant holders, because nothing is more boring than plants that just sit there in one place all the time. They have a little dirt on the wheels that cleans up nicely with some soap and water. That's Surplus for ya'.
