C-Flex Bearing Co., Inc. manufactures frictionless bearings or pivots. These are limited motion mechanical components used in applications requiring the utmost precision.
Since the pivot is our only current product line, sizes from 1/8" single and double end to 1" single and double end are typically in stock. If an out of stock situation should occur, delivery will fall within 2 weeks.
We enjoy the customization of pivots and other flexural components.
