Metal Automation

Accessorize your actuators with floating joints, sensors, clevises and much more! These parts assist the actuators to meet application needs by enhancing alignment, mounting, sensing and attachment needs.

Reid Supply offers disc and cylindrical magnets primarily in Neodymium, Alnico and Ceramic models. Neodymium magnets are powerful, yet compact. Alnico magnets are ideal for high heat applications and cermanic magnets are generally the most economical. Applications are abundant: fixtures, jigs, panel mounts, end of retrieving tools, catches/latches, linear actuators, sensing, gyroscopes, flow meters, pacemakers, etc.

Mount your gas springs with ease with our ball and eyelet type end fittings and mounting brackets. Various materials to choose from!

These plates are grooved to be able to hold round parts as well. The plates are also notched for holding parts above base of vise. Smooth on back side. They are accurately machined, hardened and ground. Constructed of plates or channels with magnets sandwiched in between. Ideal for holding heavy parts. Effective holding against shear force.

Mounted bearings and housings with rolling bearings support a rotating shaft, which can be bolted on a machine frame or any other substurcture. There is no need to precisely machine a bearing housing in a surrounding casing. This makes these solutions cost-efficient and easy to use, while providing full rolling bearing performance.

The kit is housed in a strong metal holder that can be mounted or can stand on a bench. Kit includes: 6 T-slot nuts, 24 studs, 4 flange nuts, 4 coupling nuts, 12 step blocks, 6 step clamps, 1 T-slot cleaner and 1 metal stand.
