I just got back from a trip to a local surplus dealer. In my
wonderings I happened upon a new shipment still in original boxes of
beautiful SKF what I took to be cam rollers. Part # AAV-6002/MR. I
was excited and bought a few and took them home. They aren't cam
rollers but actually ball bearing belt rollers. They are 33mm in
diameter and about 42 mm in lenght but they have a 1mm crown in the
center (obviously to run a flat belt and keep it centered). They have
about an 8mm threaded end.
These are beautifully made and brand new. I am going to use mine for
idlers on a belt drive table I am planning. Question is: Are there
any other uses you guys can think of? The vendor has hundreds and I
thought at $6.00 each they were a deal.
If anybody wants a quantity (>10) I can probably negotiate a better
deal. I anybody can think of other uses then feel free to chime in
(as long as it's CNC related (;-)
