Bearing Exchange Determination. Do you have a Barden, Fafnir, SKF, NSK, GMN, RHP or SNFA spindle grade ABEC 7/9 bearing you need to replace? We keep a regular stock of precision bearings in sealed and non-sealed versions, steel or ceramic, in the 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 35mm, 40mm, 45mm, 50mm, 55mm, 60mm, 65mm, 70mm. We can advise you what bearing we have on the shelf will act as a direct interchange for your existing bearing. If your not comfortable with the interchange, send your spindle or machine component to us for the repair and we will make the switch and run the unit in for testing. See the bearing list often in stock below.

Why should you use sealed or shielded bearings?

20 years ago, grease shielded bearings were not applicable to high-speed spindle design because the lubrication technology was not available. Now, with greatly improved lubricants that have increased longevity and improved cooling and lubricating properties, shielded bearings are the best way to assemble most high-speed spindles. Shielded bearings assist in preventing contaminants from entering the bearing at assembly, or during operation. The grease is also prevented from exiting the bearing area before the lubrication has a chance to be fully utilized. Also, the shielded bearing ensures the proper amount of grease is applied to the bearing. No more over-packing by the technician.

Why should you use ceramic ball bearings?

Although more expensive, ceramic ball bearings are proven to run cooler, with less vibration. The ceramic ball is harder and smoother by design than a steel ball, making the coefficient of frictionless. Also, as a steel ball wears, the ball tends to gall against its’ mating steel bearing race. There are no galling properties between a ceramic ball and a steel race, so this issue is eliminated. These features offer the benefits of longer spindle life and improved cutting operations for your high-speed spindle.

Ekstrom Carlson originally began producing industrial woodworking machinery in 1904. We used to manufacture and sell replacement parts for original Ekstrom-Carlson ripsaws, sanders, pin routers, CNC routers, and other types of equipment, but there are no longer enough machines to support.

We offer contract machining services as well. Provide us a print or an actual part for any high volume and/or excessively priced machine part, and we will do our best to offer a lower-cost alternative.

We often re-engineer and manufacture new spindles, gears, shafts with integral gears, and various other parts to keep customer’s machines running.  If there’s significant market volume, we will consider competing with the OEM, and stock parts for your requirements.

D&R AutoChuck Mfg, Inc. was established in 1984 to support customers who needed parts for Greenlee Screw Machines immediately. Since then, as the OEM for Greenlee Screw Machines, we no longer support these machines as there is not enough business to justify the resource.
