Ball Bearings
Open bearings dissipate heat more efficiently than shielded and sealed bearings.
Shielded bearings block out dust and other contaminants, but do not dissipate heat as efficiently as open bearings.
Sealed bearings block out dust and other contaminants better than open and shielded bearings, but retain the most heat.

Permanently Lubricated Ball Bearings

A solid polymer lubricant surrounds the balls, eliminating the need for additional lubrication. Because it's solid, the lubricant blocks out water and dust, extending the life of the bearing.
Sealed bearings have even better resistance to dust and contaminants than open bearings.

One-Way Locking Needle-Roller Bearing Clutches


The needles in these bearings roll freely in one direction, but lock to transmit torque when the rotation of the shaft is reversed. Also known as drawn-cup roller clutches. An arrow on the lip indicates the rotational direction that locks the bearings.
Single-row bearings do not support loads from any direction. To support radial loads, use with our Needle-Roller Bearings.
Triple-row bearings support radial loads.
Bearings with 301 stainless steel springs handle higher temperatures than bearings with acetal springs.
