ONDRIVES.US
ONDRIVES.US is a brand specializing in linear motion components, particularly linear shaft supports and related hardware for industrial automation and machinery applications. The product line available through 3G Electric focuses on top-loading linear shaft support blocks, including low-profile variants and machinable mounting blanks, designed to accommodate a range of shaft diameters from 1/8 inch to 1 1/2 inches, as well as metric sizes such as 12 mm. These components are constructed from anodized aluminum, offering corrosion resistance and dimensional stability in environments where exposure to moisture or moderate contaminants is a concern. The support blocks are engineered for use with linear shafting, providing precise alignment and load distribution in linear motion systems common in packaging equipment, material handling, CNC machinery, and assembly lines. The product families include the SBL series (standard top-loading supports), LPB series (low-profile supports), and SBLB series (machinable blanks that allow end-users to customize mounting hole patterns or profiles). Each block is designed for top-loading shaft installation, simplifying assembly and maintenance by allowing the shaft to be placed into the support from above rather than threaded through. The anodized aluminum construction provides a balance of strength and weight reduction, suitable for applications where steel supports would add unnecessary mass. 3G Electric stocks 46 SKUs from ONDRIVES.US, each accompanied by datasheets that specify dimensions, load ratings, and material properties, enabling engineers to select the correct component for their design parameters. The brand does not claim specific IP ratings or certifications beyond standard material specifications, and the components are intended for indoor industrial use where exposure to extreme chemicals or high temperatures is not a primary factor. For procurement specialists, the availability of both inch and metric sizes across multiple series allows for integration into legacy systems or new designs without requiring adapter hardware. The machinable blanks offer flexibility for custom applications where standard hole patterns do not align with existing mounting points. 3G Electric supports the line with global logistics, providing access to these components for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) as well as original equipment manufacturer (OEM) requirements.
