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

Use needle-roller bearings with hardened and ground shafts.

Bearings with aluminum housing are more corrosion resistant than bearings with a cast iron housing.

Self-aligning bearings compensate for shaft misalignment.

Embedded lubricant particles increase the load capacity of these bearings while also making them slippery. Bearings are self-aligning to compensate for shaft misalignment.

Acetal sleeve bearings won’t warp or swell when exposed to water, making them good for use in washdown environments.

Note: Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load a bearing can withstand at a given shaft speed. If your application’s load and speed requirements are below the values listed, the bearing will work.

Made of acetal with a PTFE filling, these light duty bearings handle speeds twice as fast as standard acetal bearings can. The material is self-lubricating for less wear and longer life in your system. These bearings swivel to compensate for small amounts of shaft misalignment.

Handling speeds twice as fast as standard mounted sleeve bearings while limiting wear on your system, these bearings are made of PTFE-filled acetal. They don’t require any additional lubrication. To compensate for minor shaft misalignment, they’re self-aligning. Mount them using their two-bolt flange.

Note: Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load a bearing can withstand at a given shaft speed. If your application’s load and speed requirements are below the values listed, the bearing will work.

Startup friction causes these porous bronze bearings to release a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface. Bearings are self-aligning to compensate for shaft misalignment.

Note: Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load a bearing can withstand at a given shaft speed. If your application’s load and speed requirements are below the values listed, the bearing will work.

Snap these ball transfers together like jigsaw pieces to create a custom ball transfer plate, or use them unconnected to create your own pattern for rotating and positioning material. They have magnets embedded in the frame, so you can mount them on any flat magnetic metal surface and rearrange them as your operations change.

A knurled knob locks the slide without affecting its position. The micrometer handles ensure accurate, repeatable positioning along two axes—good for positioning parts, such as measuring and inspecting equipment, that are part of a larger automated system.

Internal ball bearings provide smooth low-friction travel in applications that require high speeds, accurate positioning, and repeatable movement. Also known as single-start ball screws and nuts, they have a single thread that runs the length of the screw. They operate with more torque than fast-travel ball screws and nuts. To ensure compatibility, select components that have the same thread direction and size. Ball nuts are furnished with a tube to keep ball bearings in place. Do not remove the tube until you are ready to install the nuts onto the screws.

Travel distance per turn, also known as screw lead, is the distance a ball nut moves with one revolution of the ball screw.

A flexible tire on these couplings safeguards components on your shafts by reducing vibration and shock.

A complete coupling consists of two hubs, one tire, and two quick-disconnect bushings.

Quick-disconnect bushings are easy to install and remove. Tighten their cap screws to secure them to your shafts. For information on quick-disconnect bushing styles, see Quick-Disconnect (QD) Bushings.
