Bronze Spider Inserts
Our top-tier Bronze Spider Inserts boast exceptional durability and performance. Crafted from high-quality bronze, they resist wear and tear, ensuring extended machinery lifespan. They are the perfect choice for applications with heavy loads, high speeds, and challenging operating conditions. Despite a higher cost, their robust construction makes them ideal for industrial environments where reliability is non-negotiable.
Buna-N Spider Inserts
For a cost-effective and dependable solution, choose our Buna-N Spider Inserts. Constructed from nitrile rubber, these inserts provide resistance to oil, heat, and abrasion. While not as robust as Bronze, they offer reliable performance in applications with moderate loads and speeds. Even though they will need to be replaced more frequently, they are our most popular inserts sold online.
Urethane Spider Inserts
Next in our lineup is the Urethane Spider Insert. More expensive than Buna-N and cheaper than Bronze, these inserts strike a balance between cost and performance. Urethane is known for its excellent damping properties, which help reduce vibration and noise in machinery. Ideal for moderate loads and speeds, Urethane spider inserts are a reliable choice for many industries. From conveyor systems to pumps, these inserts provide a cost-effective solution without compromising on quality.
