I need to hang a rotating platform from the ceiling. Will this bearing work for that? I assume the design is primarily for compression, not tension. What keeps the plates from coming apart, and if the plates are under tension to be separated will they...

It all depends on weight . If it is a light fitting probably OK . The two sides are press fitted together so should hold. The attachment points on the steel are weak and will bend fairly quickly so for 10kg max it may work. Its cheap enough to try

I'm not sure. I used the motor for a different purpose than to hang something. Sorry

I cannot say because my disks popped right off my plates!! I followed the directions exactly. Tested the disks this morning and they came unstuck. Glad I didn't hang them yet. I suppose you will have to mount your disks lower on the plate?

I think it will work just fine, I haven't used the tool on diagonally laid boards but the way the tool is designed it should work just fine, I'm using this tool on a project right now and it's a real time saver, don't forget to buy the optional attachment for double joists if you have any on your project

I don't use the hooks too much, if you get the thing and use it, you'll note that the best thing to do is put the unit in a place where you need to raise the sheetrock to the ceiling and lock the wheels. Then lock the unit so its flat area is facing the ceiling and place your cut sheet of sheetrock on the lift...make sure it's in place and start cranking. I use the hooks to maneuver the sheetrock in place (even though the wheels are locked, you can move it slightly if you are off a little bit). This thing is pure genius and at it's great price, it has been great to own it so I don't have to rush. The lowest setting of the unit is 54", so your low ceiling shouldn't be an issue. Good luck!

I've had mine on the same ceiling joist. There has been no issues with them like that. Remember, the closer they are mounted, the more you use your core to balance during exercises. Closer is better.

It does not seem that it would do that...but I did support it from the ceiling in the center since I will not be retracting it....heavy wet jeans tend to make it sag a bit, so the support helps a great deal.

I have zero vibration coming from my projector as I would expect from any projector of quality, but I can also say it would still take some seriously violent vibration to shake my mount. I could damn near hang from it. If you install it correctly there should be zero movement. Make sure you screw the base into a ceiling truss/stud and not into the drywall...

Hi Ryann. I got an email from Amazon.com asking to answer this question as I just bought one of these a few weeks ago. Kind of cool. I just measured it carefully and it's 5/16th of an inch thick plus/minus 1/64th of an inch. You can see the two concentric rings which are pressed together with bearings trapped inside. Mine had some built in friction which I think is by design so it doesn't spin freely like a playground merry go round. I screwed it to a large wooded plate and it sits on our kitchen table, but initially it would hardly rotate. The reason I found later was that the wooden plate was not flat and the torque put on it increased the friction. Once I put spacers to decrease the warping, it turned more freely again, but still with friction.

Hi. I want to build a shelf that falls down. Not one that gets pulled up.Would it in your opinion make sense to use these brackets? They wouldbe on the two sides of the surface I will be using. Thanks for any replyon that!

The brackets work best to be attached to a fixed wall or ceiling studs. I'm sure if you "fashioned" something you could make it work. I would make sure it's attached to the joists how ever not the metal pieces that hold the ceiling tiles.

So I have a 100lb bag and it does hang from the ceiling. To counter from the house shaking and weakening the frame structure of the ceiling, I have secured two 16 foot or so 2X4's perpendicular to the house's 2X4's to strengthen the ceiling and then I have a short one between two studs that the bag hanger secures to with bolts. This reduces shaking. I use the anchor to keep the bag still while working out. I guess you could use a bag stand and also use the anchor and not have to do any carpenter work. Especially if you are going to use a 50 or 70 lb bag, the stand and anchor would probably work well. I hope this helps. So I have a 100lb bag and it does hang from the ceiling.

Yep. A 70 in Sharp Aquos has been hanging from my ceiling for the past year and half without issues. Just to be sure, however, I ran the ceiling mount through the ceiling and connected it to a 2 in thick board I ran between my ceiling joists. I have no problems with the mount or the connection even with my very overweight self running (and thus shaking) the house.

Not sure if this helps you, but I used two of these (with the included L-mounting bracket) to hang my center channel from the ceiling. Once you tighten the clamps holding the rubber mounting balls in place, these are quite sturdy and hold well.

I use these bearings on a variety of bits, but mine are all bottom-bearing. I don't know about top-bearing applications. Have you tried using a router table which would orient the bit "upside-down"?

We mounted these to the ceiling and they work great. I don't think the weight is that critical. What's important is what you're anchoring it to. If you're anchoring to studs, you have no trouble at all. If not, adjust the weight accordingly.

I do not know for sure. The bike couldnt be pulled all the way up as is would then be at an angle equal to the slope of the ceiling. Most likely wont stay attached. If bike is kept fairly level, which it does automatically with the pully system, i wouldnt see why it wouldnt work. It may sway more as the pullys wont be pulled tight to each other. My only other concern would be being able to release the break on the rope due to the angle of the bracket. Hope this helps, it is a very nice bike hoist system and you can make it work in your condo!
