Superior precision ball cages are manufactured from heat treated, wear resistant aluminum alloy. Precision class ball bearings are secured into ball cage in a uniform, radial, off-line pattern. This allows no two balls to operate in the same vertical plane. The maximum number of balls for each cage are used for maximum precision load carrying capacity. Ball cages are keyed to the ball bearing guide pin slot with a dog point set screw for ease of assembly/disassembly. Two dog point set screws are used on the 2", 2-1/2", and 3" pin diameters.

Superior Ball Bearing Press Fit Straight Sleeve Bushings are manufactured from alloy steel, hardened, and then precision ground.

Superior Ball Bearing Straight Guide Pins are manufactured of alloy steel, hardened, and then precision ground to insure a smooth, accurate, long wearing operating surface. These guide pins are slotted to accept a ball cage retainer screw, and are the same diameter for the entire guide pin length.

Fortal (tm) endcap is secured to ball bearing die set pins with a recessed socket head cap screw. The Superior MaxiCage system is typically used when there is partial or full disengagement of the guide pin and bushing. While under this no-preload condition, the end cap permits the ball cage to rotate freely about the guide pin.
