About Plain Bearings

Thrust Ball Bearings

Steel balls and washers allow these bearings to handle higher loads than bearings with stainless steel components.

Corrosion-Resistant Thrust Ball Bearings

A combination of stainless steel and nylon components provide increased corrosion resistance over standard thrust ball bearings.

One-Piece Thrust Ball Bearings

In addition to handling higher loads than three-piece ball bearings, one-piece bearings are easier to handle. They have an outer band that holds the bearing together and acts as a shield against dust and other contaminants.

Thrust Ball Bearings for Shaft Ends

Use these bearings as miniature high-precision turntables. They have a unique design that allows your shaft to sit on top of the bearing rather than being inserted through it.

Angular-Contact Thrust Ball Bearings

Install these bearings for use with combined radial and thrust loads. They are often used in spindle applications and can be combined with cylindrical roller bearings to better handle radial loads.

Ultra-Thin Ball Bearings

These bearings have twice as many contact points as angular-contact ball bearings.

Roller Bearings

Needle-Roller Thrust Bearings

Thinner rollers allow these bearings to fit in tighter spaces than tapered-roller thrust bearings.

Tapered-Roller Thrust Bearings

Thick, tapered rollers stand up to extremely high thrust loads.

Tapered-Roller Bearings

Found anywhere from machine tool spindles to conveyor rollers, these bearings have a two-piece design that allows for adjustment.

Face-Mount Crossed-Roller Bearings

Mounting holes on the inner and outer rings allow for fastening onto hollow joints and shafts.

Crossed-Roller Bearings

With a considerably larger ID than our Face-Mount Crossed-Roller Bearings, use these to run hydraulic lines, electrical wiring, and other components through the inside of the bearing.

Spherical-Roller Bearings

Two rows of rollers give these bearings load capacities over five times higher than comparably sized tapered-roller bearings.

Combination Ball/Needle-Roller Bearings

A built-in thrust ball bearing reduces wear from adjacent shaft components, while the needle-roller bearing supports radial loads.

Cylindrical Roller Bearings

With cylindrical rollers to distribute load over a large surface area, these bearings are often used to support heavy loads at high speeds in applications such as power generation and metal recycling.

Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Light Duty Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Use where high loads and speeds are not required.

High-Load Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings

An aluminum shell adds strength.

Ultra-Low-Friction Dry-Running
Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Use these bearings in applications with frequent starts and stops because they operate with very little friction.

High-Temperature Dry-Running
Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Graphite provides a layer of dry lubrication that operates in high-temperature environments.

Self-Aligning Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Compensating for minor shaft misalignment and not requiring lubrication, these sleeve bearings swivel to self-align and are dry running. They don’t need a housing and you can install and replace them without any tools because they’re slip fit.

High-Speed Self-Aligning Dry-Running
Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Made of acetal with a PTFE filler, these bearings handle velocities up to twice as high as standard acetal bearings. They swivel to compensate for a small amount of shaft misalignment.

Multipurpose Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Reinforced with polyester fabric, these plastic bearings have load and speed capabilities comparable to metal bearings.

Easy-Install Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings

A slit running along the length of these bearings allows you to quickly slip them into a housing—no tools required.

Food Industry Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Made of FDA listed materials for use in food applications, these bearings also withstand caustic and washdown environments.

Water-Resistant Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Good for underwater applications, these bearings won’t swell or warp when wet.

Chemical-Resistant Dry-Running
Flanged Sleeve Bearings

These bearings stand up to a wider range of chemicals than other dry-running flanged sleeve bearings.

Oil-Embedded Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Also known as Oilite® bearings.

High-Load Oil-Embedded Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Increased iron content makes these bearings stronger and more resistant to shock loads than standard oil-embedded bearings; however they operate at lower speeds.

Ultra-Low-Friction Oil-Embedded
Flanged Sleeve Bearings

For applications with frequent starts and stops, the oil in these bearings contains particles of slippery PTFE that lubricate the bearing during startup.

High-Load Food Industry Oil-Embedded
Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Support heavy loads that are often found in bottling and filling lines in food plants—these bearings contain extra iron and FDA-compliant oil. They’re flanged, so they handle loads both parallel and perpendicular to the shaft.

Oil-Embedded Flanged Sleeve
Bearings with Certification

These bearings come with a traceable lot number and material test report. They are also known as Oilite® bearings.

Food Industry Oil-Embedded Flanged Sleeve Bearings

The oil in these bearings is suitable for incidental contact with food.

High-Load Ultra-Low-Friction
Oil-Embedded Flanged Sleeve Bearings

With oil for reduced friction and iron for added strength, these bearings handle frequent stops and starts in high-load applications.

Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Multipurpose Flanged Sleeve Bearings

These bronze bearings are strong, wear resistant, and excellent at handling shock loads.

Corrosion-Resistant Flanged Sleeve Bearings

The addition of iron and aluminum gives these aluminum-bronze bearings high strength and excellent corrosion resistance—making them suitable for use in marine and mining applications.

Multipurpose Flanged Sleeve Bearings with Certification

Furnished with a traceable lot number and material test report, these bronze bearings are strong, wear resistant, and excellent at handling shock loads.

Oil-Embedded Thrust Bearings

Also known as Oilite® bearings.

High-Load Oil-Embedded Thrust Bearings

Increased iron content makes these bearings stronger and more resistant to shock loads than standard oil-embedded bearings; however they operate at lower speeds.

Ultra-Low-Friction Oil-Embedded Thrust Bearings

For applications with frequent starts and stops, the oil in these bearings contains particles of slippery PTFE that lubricate the bearing during startup.

High-Load Ultra-Low-Friction
Oil-Embedded Thrust Bearings

Handle heavy loads that frequently start and stop along shafts—these bearings contain extra iron and slippery PTFE lubricant. They’re thrust bearings, which means they support loads parallel to the shaft.

High-Load Food Industry
Oil-Embedded Thrust Bearings

Made of 863 iron-copper and embedded with NSF registered H1 oil, these bearings can tackle high-load applications in food plants, such as bottling and filling lines.

Food Industry Oil-Embedded Thrust Bearings

Mounted Bearings

Mounted Roller Bearings with Four-Bolt Flange

The tapered rollers in these bearings support large shafts at high static loads.

Mounted Roller Bearings

Roller bearings have a thinner profile and larger contact area than ball bearings, making them stronger and more space-efficient than ball bearings.

Shaft Grommets

Support shafts, bearings, and other moving parts that are routed through a hole. These grommets are slippery to allow parts to move freely in the hole. Install them on thin sheet-metal panels.
