New Design Requires New Bearing for Tape Dispenser Marsh Shipping Supply Co. Problem Marsh Shipping Supply Co. wanted to do it right. So they asked a local university for input on the design of the company’s most efficient and effective electric tape dispenser to date. The university engineers suggested a sheet metal chassis to lower costs — a big plus. But the downside of using sheet metal was that the chassis had to be constructed in two pieces, increasing the likelihood of misalignment. Bottom line? The new design required a different bearing to ensure smooth, quiet and efficient operation. Solution Spyraflo’s self-clinching, self-aligning acetal bearings solved this sticky issue.
