Yoder Idlers, Side Pass Stands, Non-Driven Stands

Yoder Idlers, Side Pass Stands, Non-Driven Stands

Yoder Idlers, also known as side pass or non-driven stands, are offered in a yoke or crevice style roll housing, with either a worm height adjustment or shimm-able height adjustment.

  • Yoder M-Series Roll Forming Systems: The idle side roll supports, arranged for lateral cross adjustment by screw, for proper pressure adjustment with respect to the centerline of the mill. Vertical adjustment by worm and screw. Arranged one between each driven stand. A steel yoke ties the top of the spindles together. The yoke is easily removed for changing tools.
  • Yoder WH-Series Roll Forming Systems: base mounted idle side roll stands, arranged for lateral cross-adjustment by screw and for proper pressure adjustment with respect to the centerline of the mill.
    • Idler stands include Yoder’s unique top yoke design. This design secures the yoke without the use of threaded roll shafts and hold-down nuts.
    • Vertical idler height adjustment is by shim or worm screw.
    • Optional Idler roll shaft center-to-center distance displayed using a digital counter similar to that used on the driven roll stand SPA adjustment. Indicates center-to-center distance in inches (e.g., 8.000”).
Yoder Power Hammer

Yoder Power Hammer

The Yoder K-90-M Power Hammer is the premier power hammer built for bending, forming and planishing light gauge shapes of sheet metal.  They have numerous applications, including automotive parts, aerospace  and custom sheet metal, and are used extensively in the aerospace industry as well as the build of custom cars and choppers, where perfect balance in a power hammer is desirable.  The perfect balance of this hammer is a feature that insures a long life, smooth running and stability; vibration being reduced to the lower possible degree.  Compared to competitor machines, which are a cheapened knock off of the Yoder LK-90-M, the K-90-M offers a larger throat, die area and roughly double the rated blow capacity, enabling the K-90-M Power Hammer to be used for a wider range of large aerospace and automotive parts, as well as greater gauge range capability.  The Yoder Power Hammer is furnished with a specially designed pedestal.

Yoder Single-Point Adjustment (SPA) Kits

Yoder Single-Point Adjustment (SPA) Kits

Yoder Single-Point Adjustment (SPA) Kits deliver the most precision to make it easier to use and more practical to own.

  • No wrenches required to make top shaft adjustments — with the option of hand wheels or hand crank.
  • Digital readouts on both inboard and outboard stands.
  • Readouts indicate actual top-to-bottom shaft displacement in inches with a resolution of 0.0005″.
  • Readouts and screw jacks are matched for actual vertical adjustment dimension, not some random number that has to be saved for reference
  • Screw jacks have true anti-backlash gearing. The assemblies can be adjusted in the future, to maintain the zero backlash and precise location.
  • Spring-loaded linkage coupling makes un-cocking or cocking of top shaft easy to notice and easy to do. (see below)
  • Can be retrofitted to Yoder and non-Yoder mill stands.
