    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.
    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.
    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.

    Permanently Lubricated Ball Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Ball Bearings. Permanently Lubricated Ball Bearings.
    Install and forget these self-lubricating bearings. Their 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.
    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.
    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.

The higher the rating, the tighter the tolerance. Bearings rated ABEC 1 or 3 are precise enough for most applications.

    Needle-Roller Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Roller Bearings. Needle-Roller Bearings.
    Also known as drawn-cup roller bearings, these are our thinnest roller bearings. The outer ring is drawn out to form a lip that holds the bearing together. Bearings take on the shape of their housing and may be oblong prior to installation.
    Open Bearing—Open bearings dissipate heat more efficiently than sealed bearings.
    Sealed Bearing—Sealed bearings block out dust and other contaminants better than open bearings, but retain more heat.

    Ball Bearings for Food and Beverage

    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.
    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.
    Corrosion-Resistant 440C Stainless Steel—Combine the strength of steel with the corrosion resistance of stainless steel.

The higher the rating, the tighter the tolerance. Bearings rated ABEC 1 or 3 are precise enough for most applications.
