    Ball 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.
    Sealed—The best choice for dirty environments. A barrier seals out dust so it won't gunk up or wear down the balls. However, these bearings retain the most heat since air can't flow through.
    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.
    Highly-Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—The most corrosion-resistant metal bearings we offer. They won't pit or weaken from salt water or harsh chemicals, such as bleach and chlorine found in cleaning solutions.
    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.

    Sealed

    Food production rolls along smoothly on these bearings. Greased with FDA-compliant lubricant, they’re safe to install on food-processing equipment, such as conveyor belts, so long as they don’t directly touch the food. The lubricant is a solid material that fills the space between the balls and releases oil over time, so you'll never need to add more.

    Misalignments correct themselves on the fly in these bearings. Two rows of balls have separate raceways in the inner ring and a shared raceway in the outer ring, so the balls rock back and forth to compensate for misalignment. This construction also reduces noise and vibration.
    Open—With no rubber seal to block airflow, these bearings dissipate heat quickly, extending the life of the lubricant and reducing friction over time.
    Steel—Strong and wear resistant. However, these bearings are best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.

    High-Precision Angular Contact Ball Bearings

    Image of Product. Open. Front orientation. Ball Bearings. High-Precision Angular Contact Ball Bearings, Single Row, Open.

    Open

    Our most precise bearings for tackling radial and thrust loads at once, with tolerances tighter than a speck of dust. Rated ABEC 7 out of 9, they meet strict tolerance standards established by the Annular Bearing Engineers Committee (ABEC). Choose them for equipment that requires both high speed and pinpoint accuracy, such as machine tool spindles. For example, a bearing on a spindle withstands a radial load as it spins at high speeds and a thrust load when the cutting tool touches the workpiece. These bearings don’t handle as much force from radial loads as standard ones, but you can pair them with a cylindrical roller bearing to increase their load capacity.
    Single Row—Single-row bearings withstand thrust loads from one direction.
    Open—With no rubber seal to block airflow, these bearings dissipate heat quickly, extending the life of the lubricant and reducing friction over time.
    Steel—Strong and wear resistant. However, these bearings are best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.

    Electrically Insulating Ball Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Ball Bearings. Electrically Insulating Ball Bearings, Sealed.

    Sealed

    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.
    Sealed—The best choice for dirty environments. A barrier seals out dust so it won't gunk up or wear down the balls. However, these bearings retain the most heat since air can't flow through.
    Steel—Strong and wear resistant. However, these bearings are best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.

    Flanged Ball Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Ball Bearings. Flanged Ball Bearings, Shielded.

    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.
    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.

    Dry-Running Ball Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Ball Bearings. Dry-Running Ball Bearings.
    Made of naturally slippery plastic so there's no lubricant to maintain or make a mess. These bearings are ideal for spic-and-span spaces since oil won't drip off, wash out, or collect dust over time. They won't rust or warp from moisture, so they stand up to thorough cleanings.
    Open—With no rubber seal to block airflow, these bearings dissipate heat quickly, reducing wear and extending the life of the bearing.
    Acetal—The most common choice for plastic bearings, acetal is economical yet still stands up to daily wear and tear.
    316 Stainless Steel Balls—Won't corrode from salt water or harsh chemicals, such as bleach and chlorine found in cleaning solutions.
    Glass Balls—Nonmagnetic, so they won't interfere with sensors and other sensitive electronics.

    Support radial and thrust loads at the same time. These bearings are often found inside equipment such as gearboxes and pumps. For example, a bearing inside a gearbox withstands a radial load when the gear is engaged and a momentary thrust load when you shift to a new one. While they don't handle as much force from radial loads as standard bearings, you can pair them with a cylindrical roller bearing to increase their load capacity.
    Single Row—Single-row bearings withstand thrust loads from one direction.
    Open—With no rubber seal to block airflow, these bearings dissipate heat quickly, extending the life of the lubricant and reducing friction over time.
    Sealed—The best choice for dirty environments. A barrier seals out dust so it won't gunk up or wear down the balls. However, these bearings retain the most heat since air can't flow through.
    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. 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.

    Bearing

    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 Bearing—Single-row bearings do not support loads from any direction. To support radial loads, use with our Needle-Roller Bearings.

    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.
    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.
