What kind of bearings do CDS use at the point where the input/output shaft meets the casting?
We use only manufacturer certified bearings from the original manufacturers, (not from distributors). We use TIMKEN, SKF, FAG and INA brands. CDS also manufactures “thrust cross roller bearings” to optimize the support of the output flange on all its heavy duty indexers. This is not the case for most competitors, which use low cost 4 contact ball bearings or thrust ball bearings that are prone to problems in the long term.
