Tolerance Rings Applications & Solutions 

Thermal Expansion

Tolerance rings excel at protecting bearings & housings against thermal expansion across temperature ranges. They also compensate for the growth & contraction that occurs between the different materials.

Improve Radial Alignment

When bearings are pressed onto a shaft, low axial force tolerance rings can allow for easy alignment of the bearing ODs, minimizing the risks of cocking the bearings during assembly.

Simplify Manufacturing

Saves time and cost by reducing the need for machining, adhesives or low-grade fasteners.

Ease of Replacement

Facilitate machine maintenance and repair without the need for costly machining. Easily service bearing, motor and motion control assemblies.

Prevents Torque Overload

Transmit torque from one cylindrical component to another without the need for costly splines or expensive key ways.

Reduce Vibration

Tolerance rings are used to reduce vibration in fractional horsepower motors; increasing efficiency while reducing noise over a range of speeds.

Custom Design Work

We’re not just a parts supplier. As a design solution partner and domestic manufacturer, we have control over every part of the process so we can ensure a high-quality product that works as intended to solve your problem.
