Misalignments correct themselves on the fly in these bearings. 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.

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.

Two rows of rollers give these bearings dynamic radial load capacities over five times higher than comparably sized tapered-roller bearings. Also known as rock crusher bearings, they handle heavy shock loads and are used for metal milling machinery, mining and oil field equipment, and in paper mills.

Slip onto a shaft and secure with the turn of a screw. You don't need any special tools to mount these 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.

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.

No need for complicated tools—install these bearings by hand inside a housing. The ring stops the bearing from being jostled out of place when it experiences sudden forces parallel to the shaft (thrust loads).

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.

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.
