- Makes bearing balls from liquid steel of correct composition. Small induction furnace as a start, part of Induction Furnace RLF
- Bearing housings - modular with threaded holes for interchangeability
- Collars with rapid-let go of shaft, shaft never seizes
- Round and cylindrical bearings
- Thrust bearing plates
- Bearing ball cages
- Mounting of shafts for lathes and wheels to 50k lb per wheel
- Addition of chain drive and sprockets from light duty 3D print to 50k lb drive torque from a 12 hp hydraulic motor
- Air bearing lathe for producing air bearings
- Lathe produces housings and produces the bearing roller
- Alloying furnace gets the right compositions
- Ceramic bearings for water based engines - not as thermal barrier coating [1] but rust resistance, enables water-based hydraulics
- Ball making of any size from bearing dust to 1" balls
- Automation to full materials handling with robot arms
- Precision angle generation for CNC-precision using stock components
- Hot rolled steel capacity for precision positioning to 1 mm at 1 meter radius rotating a 1000 lb load in a 1/4 second from any position ? Discuss
- Modular bearing design - various ball sizes can be used with the same plates. Modular cages. Tapers and flat contact points. Round and cylindrical bearings in these.
- Plastic and water proof bearings
- Water tight shaft seals
- Shaftless modular wheel systems - stub shafts only
