Made with either PEEK or graphite, these ball bearings work in applications that are too hot for most other ball bearings.

Bearings with a graphite cage handle temperatures up to 660° F, double that of PEEK ball bearings, so they're a good choice for use in industrial ovens. However, they’re only for low-speed applications.

The thicker inner and outer raceways on these bearings can handle heavier loads than the thin-profile crossed-roller bearings. 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.

Mount these bearings on a support rail shaft for applications requiring maximum rigidity. All have end seals to keep lubricant in and dirt out. To install, slide bearings into a housing (not included). For bearings with retaining ring grooves, secure with two retaining rings (sold individually).

Bearings with stainless steel balls are more corrosion resistant than bearings with steel balls.

Fixed-alignment bearings are for use where shaft misalignment is unlinkely.

With two bearings mounted in a single housing, these bearings have higher load capacities than standard ones. A ceramic liner helps them achieve high speeds as well as rapid acceleration and deceleration. Mount these bearings on a support rail shaft for applications requiring maximum rigidity. Made of ceramic-coated aluminum, their housing is lightweight and corrosion resistant. These bearings are for fixed alignment, ideal for well-aligned shafts. Note: Not for use with ceramic-coated aluminum or 300 series stainless steel shafts.

With two bearings mounted in one housing, these sleeve bearings are designed to withstand heavy loads. Use them on round support rail shafts for applications that require maximum rigidity. All of these bearings have a ceramic-coated aluminum housing that’s lightweight and stands up to corrosion. They also have a slippery, chemical-resistant PTFE liner, so there’s no need for lubrication. These fixed-alignment bearings are for use where shaft misalignment is unlikely.

Often paired with spring lock washers to strengthen their hold, these retaining nuts—also known as shaft nuts—keep vibration from shifting bearings, bushings, pulleys, and gears on your threaded shaft or spindle. They have slotted sides, so you can tighten and loosen them with a spanner wrench or spanner socket.

Use stepped-face retaining nuts with DIN 462 spring lock washers. You can also use them in pairs or with other bearing retaining nuts as jam nuts. For the nut closer to the bearing, position the stepped face towards the bearing. All meet DIN standards for bearing lockout dimensions.

Chamfered-face retaining nuts weigh less and produce less heat than stepped-face nuts. Some meet ISO 2982 (formerly DIN 981), an international standard for bearing locknut dimensions. Their sizes correspond to SKF KM series. Use them with DIN 5406 spring lock washers.

Carbon steel retaining nuts are strong and resist wear.
