2 kpp story 30 years ago, two pinsetter mechanics set their minds to fixing a problem they had cleaning the lanes. As a result, The Key and Kegel were born in the shop of an 18 lane bowling center in Central Florida. A lot of things have changed over the last three decades, but the core of Kegel remains the same. We are still a group of mechanics and bowling enthusiasts striving to provide solutions for the bowling industry. Our latest quest brings us back to our roots, the pinsetter. kpp facility A 12,000 square foot facility serves as home to the Kegel Pinsetter Parts machine shop and is located in Lake Wales, Florida, near Kegel s main manufacturing operation. bearing removal grid uhmw billet aluminum cold rolled steel Innovative design allows for an easy and hassle-free method for bearing removal Very tough uhmwpe material with one of the highest impact strengths of all thermoplastics Self-lubricating and highly resistant to abrasion and corrosive materials One of the highest grades of aluminum available Solid one-piece construction with machined precision fit within of an inch Either painted or treated with rust resistant black oxide (aka gun bluing) to increase life span and improve selflubrication characteristics 2 Other premium materials are also used where appropriate.

3 wheels UHMW solid one-piece construction which reduces total parts on an assembly from 17 to 5 Flange wall is a uniform thickness for improved tracking and centering of ball wheel which decreases wobble Inner diameter is reduced to create a ledge for the bearing to sit on allowing for easy maintenance Machined precision fit with tight tolerances Complete assembly includes rubber seal bearings and hardware REPLACES PART #: BEARING SNAP RING Lower Ball Roller Solid REPLACES PART #: BEARING SNAP RING Upper Pin Wheel Guide Roller REPLACES PART #: BEARING SNAP RING Lower Ball Roller Split REPLACES PART #: BEARING SNAP RING Lower Pin Roller BEARING SNAP RING MOUNTING BRACKET Split Upper Ball Roller Solid Upper Ball Roller BEARING SNAP RING MOUNTING BRACKET* * may be ordered separately if converting from original OEM configuration 3

4 mechanic partnership program Since the creation of the first machine, mechanics worldwide have used their knowledge and intuition to modify them for better performance. By partnering with some of these mechanics, Kegel Pinsetter Parts has been able to bring their parts to life on a mass scale through our Mechanic Partnership Program. Each part developed through the MPP is denoted in the catalog by a special symbol The Deviator Ball Wheel Tensioner Kit Fine-tune ball wheel belt tension Greatly reduces ball damage Puts ball wheel belt in a more natural and less stressful position Adjustable Rake Plate Adjust the rake plate up and down independently on either side Reduces dead wood due to misaligned rakes Easy installation Universal plate, fits both sides REPLACES PART #: Degree Wheel Ability to locate, mark, and adjust the rake cam to fit your pinsetter Y-Switch Bar Dual mounting positions provide a backup option to decrease machine downtime REPLACES PART #: Idler Arm Assembly Assembly includes replaceable rubber seal bearing No more oil impregnated bushings or spacers Includes bearing removal grid BEARING SNAP RING Reduction Kit Increase frames per stop by slowing the pinsetter run speed Allows pinwheel to load more efficiently Greatly reduces ball damage Choose from two different speed combinations to fit your machine s personality Set of three reduction pulleys and related hardware Pinwheel Clutch Idler Pulley Replaces OEM Pinwheel Brake or OEM Idler Pulley* Eliminates excessive pinwheel coasting Solid machined pulley with clutch bearing BEARING SNAP RING *When converting from OEM Pinwheel Brake, you will also need to order (Idler Arm)
