    Standard that specifies AT timing belt profiles

    I believe the AT type is the inverse of the T type. You can check with Ametric, they should be able to give you all the specs http://store.ametric.com/images/document/PulleyTimingBarStock.pdf Russell Giuliano

    Carlisle belts any good?

    Carlisle belts are formerly Dayco belts, top quality, I'd take them over Japanese brands MBL or Bando any day of the week. Number 2 behind Gates.A good value. Russell Giuliano

    Idler that engages/disengages w/ direction change

    How about needle bearing clutches from Torrington or INA http://www.ina.de/content.ina.de/en/ina_fag_products/productinformation/rotativ_products/drawn_cup_roller_clutches/drawncuprollerclutches.jsp Russell Giuliano

    extra precision ball bearings

    Abec 7 may be overkill and very expensive. Consolidated Bearing should be able to offer a cheaper p6 or ABEC 3 bearing Russell Giuliano

    extra precision ball bearings

    Most standard bearings will test out as an ABEC3 anyway. You need a good bearing distributor, this should not be hard to find. Russell Giuliano

    Open top bearing?

    Look up Dodge "Hinged Cap" bearings on their website. They are made for quick change of rolls. Other than that, I've seen babbit bearings in paper mills that are basically a "bottom half bearing" that support heavy rolls. Russell Giuliano

    Bearing load increase due to misaligned flexible coupling

    If this is a c face motor mating with the gearbox, how much misalignment can there be? Should be neglible. Can you get a gearbox that accepts C face motor without thepedestal and coupling? What kind of gearbox are you using? Russell Giuliano

    Bearing load increase due to misaligned flexible coupling

    Bearing vendors are a nightmare sometimes

    I would suggest to pick from the bearings available in the Grainger catalog. They cater to a lot of electric motor rebuilders. Grainger does not handle oddballs, only the cream of the crop. If it's available in Grainger, you should be able to get it from any bearing distributor. Russell Giuliano

    Pillow block bolted vertically causes bearing failure?

    Pillow block bolted vertically causes bearing failure?

    HVAC applications are very tough on bearings. Your better manufacturers make special bearings for these applications. They are usually a vey loose fit in the housings, to make up for misalignment. Russell Giuliano

    Bearing vendors are a nightmare sometimes

    Perhaps this is why the importer Consolidated Bearing is considered a manufacturer. Their deliveries are accurate, and they keep a larger inventory. Ironic, but I worked for an FAG distributor, and I would often be told "no stock, no scheduled production" by FAG's customer service. I'd then call...

    Vbelt and Pulley Design

    EPT power transmission has pullies that will use "B" belts or "5V" 5V belts have the same angle as SPB belts. Check their website for all information required. Russell Giuliano

    Bailey's lawn mower parts has differentials, but you need to know what you are looking for. Russell Giuliano
