The following page show the General Assembly Instructions for the Inline Bearing Block. The appropriate images for the three configurations will be shown side by side.
Blue Loctite (McMaster P/N 1004A12) is recommended on all bolts that thread into a tapped hole.
This product is packaged with the 3/4" Radial Bearing. If different bearings are needed visit our Ball Bearings Product Page.
Slide all the appropriate bearings and washers on to the Dowel Pin. The table below lists the number of washers used for each bearing configuration.
If you are using 1/2” and 5/8” bearings instead of the standard 3/4” bearings, you can substitute in 0.03” washers to cut down on the part count.
