3/16" Housing ID Bearings

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.

Open—With no rubber seal to block airflow, these bearings dissipate heat quickly, extending the life of the lubricant and reducing friction over time.

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

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.

Extended Inner Ring—Connect to mating parts without the need for a spacer. The inner ring juts out farther than the outer ring, so shaft collars and other objects won't touch the bearing's moving parts.

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.

Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

Install and forget these self-lubricating bearings. All are made from porous metal and saturated with oil to reduce maintenance and downtime. A good all-around choice, they are used in everything from palm-sized fans in electronics to tire-sized pulleys. Although these bearings will work in most conditions, oil may drip away if temperatures get too high. Consider a graphite-lubricated bearing for higher temperatures or places where you can’t afford the mess. All are fabricated, lubricated, and inspected in the U.S.

With no moving parts, sleeve bearings are the simplest way to support the load of a rotating shaft while reducing friction. Also known as plain bearings.

841 Bearing Bronze—A classic choice for a starter pick. Also known as SAE 841 bearings.

Mineral Oil Base—Mineral oil consistently lubricates at most temperatures but doesn’t last as long as synthetic oil.

Synthetic Oil Base—A high-quality lubricant makes all the difference. Synthetic oil is less sensitive to temperature changes than mineral oil, so it won't get runny and leak away at higher temperatures.

Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings

Made of naturally slippery plastic so you’ll never have to add lubricant. They’re ideal for clean environments where you need to prevent oil drips or graphite flakes. Compared to metal bearings, they are lighter and will never rust.

With no moving parts, sleeve bearings are the simplest way to support the load of a rotating shaft while reducing friction. Also known as plain bearings.

Flanged Ball Bearings

Open

Shielded

Install these bearings inside a housing and they won't budge. The flange presses against the housing wall, so vibration and other sudden forces parallel to the shaft (thrust loads) won't knock them off-kilter.

Open—With no rubber seal to block airflow, these bearings dissipate heat quickly, extending the life of the lubricant and reducing friction over time.

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

Ultra-Low-Friction Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

Our slipperiest metal bearings, these are ideal for machinery with frequent starts and stops, such as conveyors. With nonstick PTFE particles added to the oil, they reduce friction to minimize wear and heat, so equipment runs more efficiently and lasts longer. All are fabricated, lubricated, and inspected in the U.S.

With no moving parts, sleeve bearings are the simplest way to support the load of a rotating shaft while reducing friction. Also known as plain bearings.

Pivot Bearings


Single-Ended Pivot Bearing	Double-Ended Pivot Bearing	Deflection Angle

Also known as flexure bearings, these bearings are best for applications that require small, precise oscillating motion with limited twisting such as gimbals, vibration hoppers, and optical devices. They have rotating sleeves connected by springs to create smooth motion without the need for lubricants. When used within their rated capacities, they don't require any maintenance. Clamp on, press fit, or use a set screw or pin to install.
