Clamping Bearing Block Detailed Features

1" and 2" Clamping

All Clamping Bearing Blocks are sized to clamp around any box tube that is 1" or 2" tall. In order to clamp around 1" tall tube, the blocks must be rotated onto their side as shown in the image below.

WCP-0591

WCP-0592

WCP-0593

SplineXL Bore ID

All Clamping Bearing Blocks have a SplineXL ID. This means it is compatible with the WCP SplineXL Tube (WCP-0918).

Bearing Flange C-Bore

All Clamping Bearing Blocks come with a 1.4" OD x 0.0625" deep c-bore that can be used to trap the flanges of bearings or bushings.

This feature is only compatible with bearings/bushings that are 1.125" OD, with a flange that is smaller than 1.4", and no thicker than 0.0625".

Bolt C-Bore

The 2.5" width Clamping Bearing Blocks (WCP-0592 and WCP-0593) both come two 0.375" OD x .125" deep c-bores that can be used to bolt parts directly to the block.

This feature is only compatible with #10-32 Button Head Bolts.

Center Drop

Two blocks (WCP-0591 and WCP-0593) come with an offset output. This means that when mounted to a 2" tall box tube, the center of the SplineXL bore will be offset by 0.0625" from the centerline of the tube.

This feature is only on the 2" tube configuration. The SplineXL output of all Clamping Bearing Blocks is centered for the 1" tube configuration.

MotionX Compatibility

2" Bearing Block

All Clamping Bearing Blocks are compatible with parts that have the MotionX Pattern.

2" Bolt Circle

The 2" pitch spacing is widely compatible with a variety of products, making it easier for FRC teams to design and build their robots. Allowing for standard #10-32 hardware to be used.

1" From Center

This configuration allows teams to opt for 1" From Center gears for lightweight or high-speed gearboxes, prioritizing weight and size reduction.

Because of the 2" width of the block, the slot is open ended.

Clamping System

The highlighted holes allow for a #10-32 bolt and 3/8" OD spacer to be used with either 1" or 2" tubing with out creating any collisions.

2.5" Bearing Block

2" Bolt Circle

The 2" pitch spacing is widely compatible with a variety of products, making it easier for FRC teams to design and build their robots. Allowing for standard #10-32 hardware to be used.

1" From Center

This configuration allows teams to opt for 1" From Center gears for lightweight or high-speed gearboxes, prioritizing weight and size reduction.

Clamping System

The highlighted holes allow for a #10-32 bolt and 3/8" OD spacer to be used with either 1" or 2" tubing with out creating any collisions.

WCP Cam Compatibility

The 2.5" wide clamping bearing blocks are compatible with the WCP Cam (WCP-0882) in the 2" tall tube configuration, while all clamping bearing blocks are compatible with the Cam in the 1" tall tube configuration.

20DP Gear Compatibility

The Clamping Bearing Blocks can be used to make basic gear trains by stacking the blocks next to each other on any 2" tall tube.

80t Gear Train

The gear teeth for a center distance is calculated by adding the tooth count of both gears together. [Ex: 40 + 40 = 80]

90t Gear Train

The gear teeth for a center distance is calculated by adding the tooth count of both gears together. [Ex: 40 + 50 = 90]

100t Gear Train

The gear teeth for a center distance is calculated by adding the tooth count of both gears together. [Ex: 50 + 50 = 100]

Sliding Bearing Block Detailed Features

WCP Cam Compatibility

The Sliding Bearing Blocks are compatible with the WCP Cam (WCP-0882). The minimum and maximum center distances between the cam and the block are shown in the images below.

Maximum Cam Center Distance

2" Center Distance

Both the Sliding Bearing Block and the Gearbox Bearing Block have a 2" center distance between the flat head bolts.
