DX Engineering TB300 Advanced Design Thrust Bearings
DX Engineering TB300 Advanced Design Thrust Bearings offer a major advance in mechanics that solve the issues with competing tower mast bearings that wear out too quickly They are specifically designed for a vertically mounted 1.5 to 2.0 inch OD tower mast installed for the efficient rotation of directional HF, VHF, UHF and SHF antennas. Introduced in early 2021, the upgraded DX Engineering TB300 features high quality stainless steel ball bearings and stainless steel races that keep the bearings very clean. Compared with ANY OTHER thrust bearings, our TB300 thrust bearings are firm and strong with an ultra-low rotation resistance that has to be seen to be believed. These heavy-duty bearing assemblies are cast from high-strength zinc-aluminum alloy, precision machined and assembled to last for the life of the tower installation. DX Engineering Thrust Bearings are 7 in. diameter overall and mate with tower bearing plates and accessory plates for ROHN or Amerite towers. DX Engineering TB300 thrust bearings mount directly to: -DXE-AS455G DX Engineering Accessory Shelf for inside of ROHN 45G and 55G and Amerite 45 & 55 -Pre-drilled "Flat-Top" Tower Section models ROHN 25AG4 ROHN 45AG4 -Top Bearing Plate models ROHN BPL25G on top of a straight 25G tower section ROHN BPL45G on top of a straight 45G tower section ROHN BPL55G on top of a straight 55G tower section -Tower Top Bearing Plate with Accessory Shelf ROHN BAS25G for top of a straight 25G Tower Sections (may be used on the top of combination model). They may also be used on any Amerite Tower and accessory that corresponds to the ROHN part numbers listed above, including tower-top bearing shelves for AME-25, 45 and 55 series towers. NOTE: Accessory Shelf models that fit inside of ROHN or Amerite 25G do not accommodate DX Engineering Thrust Bearings. These bearings are intended only for top mount on flat top 25G tower. The DXE-TB300 Thrust Bearing, for up to 2 in. OD mast, is supplied complete with hardware. The three stainless steel mast capturing and centering hex head bolts are 3/8-16 x 1-1/2 in. long with stainless steel hex nuts. The mounting hardware, four (4) structural mounting bolts are 1/2-13 x 1-1/4 inch long, and the mounting hex nuts and washers are all galvanized. The TB300 accommodates a mast size range of 1.500 to 2.000 in. OD. Designed and built for vastly improved longevity, our thrust bearings reduce the load on your rotator motor more efficiently than the old standard version. Order DX Engineering TB300 Advanced Design Thrust Bearings for your tower project with 2 inch OD mast.

DX Engineering Tower Accessory Shelves
DX Engineering Tower Accessory Shelves are custom made by DX Engineering in two sizes and styles to fit different size ROHN and Amerite Towers. Made from 3/16 in. thick, laser-cut "304" Stainless Steel, each DXE Accessory Shelf comes with all stainless steel tower mounting hardware for long-lasting, durable strength. Both accessory shelves have four slotted holes (no drilling required*) to mount the most popular rotators from Yaesu, DX Engineering, M2 Antennas and Hy-Gain, and two additional holes are provided for rotator models with six mounting bolts. Rotator or positioner mounting bolts are not included with these plates; they are provided by the manufacturer with each rotator unit. Two models of DX Engineering Tower Accessory Shelves are available. Click the part details below to see more images of each model: - DXE-AS25G fits ROHN 25G and Amerite 25 towers, with formed integral brackets for v-bolt clamps. This plate is used ONLY for mounting a rotator at the top of a 25 top section or where there are no cross braces on a 25 straight section that would interfere with installation and operation of the rotator. NOTE: ROHN 25G does not accommodate mid-section bearings, so there are no holes for bearings. NO BEARINGS can be mounted on the DXE-AS25G. If you want to use a bearing, use a flat top tower section that accommodates a bearing, or install ROHN 45G or 55G Tower and DXE-AS455G Accessory Shelves. - DXE-AS455G is adjustable to fit ROHN 45G and 55G towers and Amerite -45 and -55 towers. This model accessory shelf mounts all of the rotators listed and features additional holes for mounting DX Engineering Thrust Bearings (DXE-TB300 and DXE TB400). These shelves are mounted with 3/16 in. stainless steel L-brackets and double stainless steel V-bolts at each tower leg. DXE-AS455G may be used anywhere in any 45 or 55 section for a rotator or as a bearing shelf, including as a Top Bearing Plate. As with all stainless steel hardware, a good quality anti-seize lubricant, such as Jet-Lube SS-30 (part number JTL-12555) should be used to avoid galling. When installing, mount the shelf level in the tower. Tighten all bolts evenly. *NOTE: Larger holes are only needed when mounting the OR2800 series M2 Antennas rotator. No holes are provided for Hy-Gain HDR-300 series rotators.) DXE-AS-25G Stainless Steel Parts List: 1 - Tower Shelf, laser drilled with integral L-Brackets 3 - V-Bolts, 1.50 in. x 1/4-20 3 - Hardware packages for V-Bolts (Flat Washer, Split Washer and Hex Nut) DXE-AS455G Stainless Steel Parts List: 1 - Tower Plate, 3/16 in., laser drilled 3 - Tower Plate Mounting L-Bracket, laser drilled 6 - V-Bolts, 1.00 - 2.00 in. x 5/16 in. 6 - Hex Head Bolts, 1.00 in. x 5/16 -18 9 - Hardware packs, 5/16 -18 (Flat Washer, Split Washer, Hex Nut)
