Also known as drawn-cup roller bearings, these are our thinnest roller bearings. The outer ring is drawn out to form a lip that holds the bearing together. Bearings take on the shape of their housing and may be oblong prior to installation.

Open bearings dissipate heat more efficiently than sealed bearings.

With a grooved inner diameter, these bearings are designed to work with splined shafts. Together, they transmit rotary power while allowing the bearing to move freely along the length of the shaft. All are for use where shaft misalignment is unlikely.

Also known as ball splines, ball bearings run with less friction than plain bearings, so they're smoother and more precise, even at high speeds. However, they don't transmit as much torque as plain bearings. They're commonly used for robotic systems and other automated applications that require complex, fast movements.

A flanged housing with mounting holes connects these bearings directly to your system. They have a grooved inner diameter that's designed to work with spline shafts. Together, they transmit rotary power while allowing the bearing to move freely along the length of the shaft. Wide and flat, the flange is especially useful for lifting and lowering loads on vertical shafts. All are for use where shaft misalignment is unlikely.

Also known as jig bushings, these metric drill bushings fit inside fixture plate holes to guide drill bits, counterbores, reamers, and other cutting tools. They improve accuracy so that your drilled holes and cuts are consistent from part to part. Known for their versatility, drill bushings are also used as spacers, shims, and machinery bushings. These bushings are made of hardened, ground steel that holds its shape and resists wear, so they last for many cycles without needing to be replaced.

All bushings have a chamfer on the outside that centers the bushing as you place it into the hole. Press into place with a manual or hydraulic press. They also have internal chamfers, so it's easier to insert bits, pins, and punches into the bushing. Some bushings have internal chamfers on both ends, so no matter which end of the bushing is inserted into your jig, your bits, pins, and other tooling enter easily. Having an internal chamfer on the bottom of your bushing may cause shavings to get caught and bind as you remove the bit, however.

DIN 179 bushings meet dimensional and material standards that make sure they're compatible with other parts and tools. Although DIN 179 is no longer an active standard, it's still a common reference point for designers.
