1/2"-13 x 3" Stainless Elevator Bolt
This Stainless Steel Elevator Bolt is a specialized piece of hardware critical for ensuring the longevity and stable performance of the main conveyor drive shaft assembly, particularly when a facility upgrades the standard bearing to the heavy-duty Dodge pillow block bearing (P-C2333).
The primary function of this 1/2"−13×3" bolt is to act as a sturdy retaining bolt. When installed, it bolts the base of the pillow block bearing securely to the frame structure. This stabilization is vital because the drive shaft operates under immense stress and vibration from the belt assembly. By securely locking the bearing in place, the bolt prevents the bearing from shifting or walking during belt operation, which would otherwise lead to premature wear, misalignment, and potential catastrophic failure of the drive system. The 18-8 Stainless Steel construction ensures high resistance to corrosion and rust from moisture and chemicals in the wash tunnel pit.
