    Ball Bearings

    Smoother than smooth—the balls inside these bearings roll nearly friction-free. You’ll often find them on rapidly rotating parts, from the whirring chuck on a power drill to the spinning shaft on an electric motor.
    Open—With no rubber seal to block airflow, these bearings dissipate heat quickly, extending the life of the lubricant and reducing friction over time.
    Shielded—The balls are covered just enough to keep out large particles while allowing air to pass through and dissipate heat.
    Sealed—The best choice for dirty environments. A barrier seals out dust so it won't gunk up or wear down the balls. However, these bearings retain the most heat since air can't flow through.
    Steel—Strong and wear resistant. However, these bearings are best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.
    Corrosion-Resistant 440C Stainless Steel—Combine the strength of steel with the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. These bearings won't degrade from water or mild chemicals, such as the ammonia in cleaning solutions. However, they'll weaken when exposed to salt water and harsh chemicals, such as bleach.
    Highly-Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—The most corrosion-resistant metal bearings we offer. They won't pit or weaken from salt water or harsh chemicals, such as bleach and chlorine found in cleaning solutions.
    ABEC Rating—Bearings with an ABEC rating meet industry tolerance standards established by the Annular Bearing Engineers Committee (ABEC). They're rated on a scale from 1 to 9. The higher the rating, the tighter the tolerance. Bearings rated ABEC 1 or 3 are precise enough for most applications. If your application consistently runs at high speeds or requires high accuracy, consider bearings rated ABEC 5 or higher, since they generate less friction and heat.

    Permanently Lubricated Ball Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Ball Bearings. Permanently Lubricated Ball Bearings.
    Install and forget these self-lubricating bearings. Their lubricant is a solid material that fills the space between the balls and releases oil over time, so you'll never need to add more.
    Open—With no rubber seal to block airflow, these bearings dissipate heat quickly, extending the life of the lubricant and reducing friction over time.
    Sealed—The best choice for dirty environments. A barrier seals out dust so it won't gunk up or wear down the balls. However, these bearings retain the most heat since air can't flow through.
    Steel—Strong and wear resistant. However, these bearings are best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.

These bearings won't degrade from water or mild chemicals, such as the ammonia in cleaning solutions. However, they'll weaken when exposed to salt water and harsh chemicals, such as bleach.
    ABEC Rating—Bearings with an ABEC rating meet industry tolerance standards established by the Annular Bearing Engineers Committee (ABEC). They're rated on a scale from 1 to 9. The higher the rating, the tighter the tolerance. Bearings rated ABEC 1 or 3 are precise enough for most applications. If your application consistently runs at high speeds or requires high accuracy, consider bearings rated ABEC 5 or higher, since they generate less friction and heat.

    Support radial and thrust loads at the same time. These bearings are often found inside equipment such as gearboxes and pumps. For example, a bearing inside a gearbox withstands a radial load when the gear is engaged and a momentary thrust load when you shift to a new one. While they don't handle as much force from radial loads as standard bearings, you can pair them with a cylindrical roller bearing to increase their load capacity.
    Single Row—Single-row bearings withstand thrust loads from one direction.
    Double Row—Double-row bearings handle thrust loads from both directions.
    Open—With no rubber seal to block airflow, these bearings dissipate heat quickly, extending the life of the lubricant and reducing friction over time.
    Shielded—The balls are covered just enough to keep out large particles while allowing air to pass through and dissipate heat.

    Cylindrical Roller Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Roller Bearings. 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. A cage prevents the rollers from touching each other, reducing friction for high-speed use. All of these bearings have an inner ring that's flanged on one side, so they only allow heat expansion in one direction. The bearings can be taken apart, so you can install them with precision and quickly dismantle them for maintenance or replacement.

    Prevent shafts from reversing direction. These bearings have internal components (sprags) that lock against the outer ring to transmit torque one way but spin freely in the other. They're often found in backstopping, indexing, and overrunning applications. For example, they're used to prevent conveyors from reversing.
    Shielded—The balls are covered just enough to keep out large particles while allowing air to pass through and dissipate heat.
    Sealed—The best choice for dirty environments. A barrier seals out dust so it won't gunk up or wear down the balls. However, these bearings retain the most heat since air can't flow through.
    Steel—Strong and wear resistant. However, these bearings are best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.
    ABEC Rating—Bearings with an ABEC rating meet industry tolerance standards established by the Annular Bearing Engineers Committee (ABEC). They're rated on a scale from 1 to 9. The higher the rating, the tighter the tolerance. Bearings rated ABEC 1 or 3 are precise enough for most applications. If your application consistently runs at high speeds or requires high accuracy, consider bearings rated ABEC 5 or higher, since they generate less friction and heat.

    High-Load Dry-Running Ball Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Ball Bearings. High-Load Dry-Running Ball Bearings.
    Double the balls for double the load capacity—these bearings carry twice as much weight as standard dry-running ball bearings. Made of naturally slippery plastic, there's no lubricant to maintain. No lubricant means no oil that could drip off, wash out, or collect dust, so they're ideal for spic-and-span spaces. They stand up to thorough cleanings since they won't rust or warp from moisture.
    Open—With no rubber seal to block airflow, these bearings dissipate heat quickly, reducing wear and extending the life of the bearing.
    Acetal—The most common choice for plastic bearings, acetal is economical yet still stands up to daily wear and tear.

    Sealed

    Protect bearings from stray currents. The ceramic balls insulate bearings from electrical charges in electric motors and power generators that can damage the inner ring over time. The balls also generate less heat than metal ones, so you don’t have to lubricate them as often to keep bearings running smoothly.
    Shielded—The balls are covered just enough to keep out large particles while allowing air to pass through and dissipate heat.
    Sealed—The best choice for dirty environments. A barrier seals out dust so it won't gunk up or wear down the balls. However, these bearings retain the most heat since air can't flow through.
    Steel—Strong and wear resistant. However, these bearings are best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.
    ABEC Rating—Bearings with an ABEC rating meet industry tolerance standards established by the Annular Bearing Engineers Committee (ABEC). They're rated on a scale from 1 to 9. The higher the rating, the tighter the tolerance. Bearings rated ABEC 1 or 3 are precise enough for most applications. If your application consistently runs at high speeds or requires high accuracy, consider bearings rated ABEC 5 or higher, since they generate less friction and heat.

    Slip onto a shaft and secure with the turn of a screw. You don't need any special tools to mount these bearings.
    Set-Screw Shaft Mount—Tighten the screws against the shaft to hold the bearing in place. For high-speed applications, consider clamp-on shaft mounts, which are less likely to slip.
    Clamp-On Shaft Mount—The clamp tightens around the shaft for a strong 360° grip. These mounts attach more securely than set screws to reduce vibration. Plus, there aren't any screws pressing into the shaft, so it stays free from damage. Also known as a concentric lock.
    Black-Oxide Steel—Strong and wear resistant. However, these bearings are best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.

    High-Load Face-Mount Crossed-Roller Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Roller Bearings. High-Load Face-Mount Crossed-Roller Bearings.
    With thicker inner and outer raceways, these bearings can handle heavier loads than thin-profile crossed roller bearings. Mounting holes on the inner and outer rings allow for fastening onto hollow joints and shafts. The rollers face in alternating directions to allow for rigid, accurate motion under any combination of radial, thrust, and moment (twisting) loads. Use in applications where highly accurate motion is necessary, such as machine tools and industrial robots.
    Open Bearing—Open bearings dissipate heat more efficiently than sealed bearings.
    Sealed Bearing—Sealed bearings block out dust and other contaminants better than open bearings, but retain more heat.

    Mount these bearings on tapered shafts. Or, pair with an adapter sleeve to install them on round shafts without needing to press fit. The two rows of balls have separate raceways in the inner ring and a shared raceway in the outer ring, so the balls rock back and forth to compensate for misalignment. This construction also reduces noise and vibration.
    Open—With no rubber seal to block airflow, these bearings dissipate heat quickly, extending the life of the lubricant and reducing friction over time.

    Ball Bearings for Food and Beverage

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Ball Bearings. Ball Bearings for Food and Beverage, Sealed.

    Sealed

    Food production rolls along smoothly on these bearings. Greased with FDA-compliant lubricant, they’re safe to install on food-processing equipment, such as conveyor belts, so long as they don’t directly touch the food. The lubricant is a solid material that fills the space between the balls and releases oil over time, so you'll never need to add more.
    Sealed—The best choice for dirty environments. A barrier seals out dust so it won't gunk up or wear down the balls. However, these bearings retain the most heat since air can't flow through.
    Corrosion-Resistant 440C Stainless Steel—Combine the strength of steel with the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. These bearings won't degrade from water or mild chemicals, such as the ammonia in cleaning solutions. However, they'll weaken when exposed to salt water and harsh chemicals, such as bleach.
    ABEC Rating—Bearings with an ABEC rating meet industry tolerance standards established by the Annular Bearing Engineers Committee (ABEC). They're rated on a scale from 1 to 9. The higher the rating, the tighter the tolerance. Bearings rated ABEC 1 or 3 are precise enough for most applications.

    High-Precision Angular Contact Ball Bearings

    Image of Product. Open. Front orientation. Ball Bearings. High-Precision Angular Contact Ball Bearings, Single Row, Open.

    Open

    Our most precise bearings for tackling radial and thrust loads at once, with tolerances tighter than a speck of dust. Rated ABEC 7 out of 9, they meet strict tolerance standards established by the Annular Bearing Engineers Committee (ABEC). Choose them for equipment that requires both high speed and pinpoint accuracy, such as machine tool spindles. For example, a bearing on a spindle withstands a radial load as it spins at high speeds and a thrust load when the cutting tool touches the workpiece. These bearings don’t handle as much force from radial loads as standard ones, but you can pair them with a cylindrical roller bearing to increase their load capacity.
    Single Row—Single-row bearings withstand thrust loads from one direction.
    Open—With no rubber seal to block airflow, these bearings dissipate heat quickly, extending the life of the lubricant and reducing friction over time.
    Steel—Strong and wear resistant. However, these bearings are best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.

    You don't need any special tools to install these bearings in food production areas. Slip them onto a shaft and secure with the turn of a screw for easy mounting. Greased with NSF-registered H1 lubricant, these bearings are safe to install on food-processing equipment, such as conveyor belts, so long as they don’t directly touch the food. They're IP69K rated, so they'll stand up to the hot water from a pressure washer when cleaning your facility at the end of the day.
    Clamp-On Shaft Mount—The clamp tightens around the shaft for a strong 360° grip. These mounts attach more securely than set screws to reduce vibration. Plus, there aren't any screws pressing into the shaft, so it stays free from damage. Also known as a concentric lock.
    Corrosion-Resistant Nickel-Plated Steel—These bearings resist mild chemicals, such as the ammonia in cleaning solutions, while maintaining the strength of steel. The nickel coating can wear or chip over time, though. If it does, the steel beneath will rust quickly.
    Sealed—The best choice for dirty environments. A barrier seals out dust so it won't gunk up or wear down the balls. However, these bearings retain the most heat since air can't flow through.
