    Ball Bearings

    Shielded

    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.
    Shielded—The balls are covered just enough to keep out large particles while allowing air to pass through and dissipate heat.
    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.
    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.

    Electrically Insulating Ball Bearings

    Shielded

    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.
    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.

    Ball Bearings with Retaining Ring

    Shielded

    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).
    Shielded—The balls are covered just enough to keep out large particles while allowing air to pass through and dissipate heat.
    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.

    High-Temperature Graphite-Lubricated Ball Bearings

    Keep parts spinning in industrial ovens and other places as hot as 660° F. Greased with graphite lubricant, these bearings stay slippery where oil would burn off or solidify. You can install and forget them since the lubricant lasts forever.
    Shielded—The balls are covered just enough to keep out large particles while allowing air to pass through and dissipate heat.
    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.
