The design resembles the external bottom bracket designs marketed by FSA, RaceFace and Shimano. The modern versions used the same sealed bearing size (6805-RS, 25 mm inner diameter, 37 mm outer diameter) and the original mounting tool fits. The crank had intricately CNC machined wide hollow crank arms made of two halves glued together.
A Park Tool bicycle work stand. The founders of Park Tool along with James E. Johnson developed a clamping device on their original bike repair stand, for which they received a United States Patent in 1976. [3] The company has applied for and has been granted many patents since then, including a pizza cutter shaped like a penny-farthing.
Howard Carl Hawkins (1932 – January 26, 2015) was an American businessman and bicycle tools maker, co-founder of Park Tool in Saint Paul, Minnesota. He is considered one of the pioneers in the bicycle industry. He died of a heart attack in Arizona on January 26, 2015.
Illustration of bearing tolerances (in micrometers) for a bearing with a 20 mm inner diameter. For illustration, the figure shows the differences in tolerance per ABEC class in micrometers (μm) for a 20 mm inner diameter bearing. [1] A 20 mm ABEC 7 bearing only has a 5 μm tolerance window, whereas an ABEC 1 has twice as wide a tolerance.
A linear-motion bearing or linear slide is a bearing designed to provide free motion in one direction. There are many different types of linear motion bearings.. Motorized linear slides such as machine slides, X-Y tables, roller tables and some dovetail slides are bearings moved by drive mechanisms.
The bearing surface describes the contact area between two objects used as datum. It is often the underside of a screw head (male seat, marked A) or a flat at the end of the screw thread (female seat, marked B). A bearing surface in mechanical engineering is the area of contact between two objects.

The block is mounted to a foundation, and a shaft is inserted, allowing the inner part of the bearing/shaft to rotate. [1] The inside of the bearing is typically 0.025 millimetres (0.001 in) larger diameter than the shaft to ensure a tight fit. [2] Set screws, locking collars, or set collars are commonly used to secure the shaft. [2]
