Product Application Spotlight - Lazy Susan Bearings

Clyde Gobble, Master Potter, has been making pottery for over 41 years. He uses Triangle Manufacturing's 3" and 6" lazy susan bearings in his tabletop turntables.

Triangle Lazy Susan Bearing Features:

BLIND FASTENING - Attaches easily to a second surface even though hidden after it is fastened to first surface. Screw holes on top and bottom plates offset so that load bearing sections clear each other.

Only 5/16" thick! Engineered to add a minimum of height to item, with only rolling ball contact between sections. (Clearance can be further reduced by recessing. Also can be inverted if desirable.)

FREE TURNING - Large race completely filled with precision-made ball bearings provides maximum stability. Deep races accurately sized to fit balls insure high load carrying capacity and smooth continuous alignment.

360˚ INTERLOCK - Triangle's full 360˚ interlock keeps ball bearings securely retained in large diameter race. No rivet to work loose or bind. This complete unitization means no loose parts to become lost during assembly. Heavy zinc plating insures rust resistance. Also supplied unplated if desired.
