Manitou Manufacturing R-7 MANR7

Rubber boots are essential components in specialized applications where minimizing vibration and ensuring noise-proof mounting are critical. These boots are crafted from oil-resistant and static-conductive nitrile rubber, making them ideal for industrial settings that require robust performance under demanding conditions.Each rubber boot corresponds to a specific spherical outer diameter (OD) of ball bearings and fits within Manitou stamped pillow block sets. The design is intended to perfectly surround the ball bearing, sitting between the base and top strap of the pillow block. The key feature of the pillow block sets used with these boots is the "Snap Together" construction, which includes turned-up edges on the base and turned-down edges on the top strap. These features prevent the rubber from flowing out when thrust forces are applied during use.For proper functionality, the Pillow Block Set must have the appropriate edges on both the base and top strap. If the unit lacks these design features, the rubber boot will not perform as expected, as the rubber may extrude from the unit under applied thrust.This setup is crucial for ensuring longevity, vibration resistance, and a stable mounting in industrial applications where precise alignment and containment of the rubber boot are necessary for optimal performance.
