    What is this and where can I find it?

    I have done many online searches for every name I can think of for this eccentric 'widget' (circled in red). Any help on what it is or where I can find/buy it would be VERY appreciated. It provides one stroke per every revolution of the shaft running through it for the above die. Stroke is one inch. The tube that runs to it is for lubrication.

    Many thanks!

    HI vebers,

    It looks like a pillow block. I can't remember where I saw it, but try Surpluscenter.com. They may be the ones. If not, try McMasterCarr.

    The title on your pictures is accurate, it is an eccentric, equivalent to a crankshaft.

    Many moons ago I worked at a place manufacturing water pumps that used an eccentric almost identical to the one in your pictures. This was in New Zealand in the 1960's so I don't think it is of direct use but maybe you could investigate pump manufacturers for what you are looking for.
    An open mind is a virtue...so long as all the common sense has not leaked out.

    Hey thanks for your ideas guys, I still am looking. I could build something but why reinvent the wheel so to speak. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    This may start you in the right direction. It is similar in construction.
