    Open Bearing

    Sealed Bearing

    Also known as spherical bearings, swivel joints support angular misalignment. Press them into a hole or housing where a ball joint rod end won’t fit. They need to be lubricated when first installed and periodically after that. Apply any type of bearing grease to the ball, and rotate it to work it into the races.
    Sealed Bearing—Sealed joints keep grease in and contaminants out.

    Wheel Bearings

    Replace worn or damaged wheel bearings to keep your equipment rolling. Use flanged bearings and ball bearings in pairs. Change the axle diameter with wheel reducer bushings (sold separately).
    Note: Not for use in towing applications.

    Tight-Clearance Thrust Ball Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Thrust Bearings. Tight-Clearance Thrust Ball Bearings.
    Save space around your shaft—set the end of your shaft vertically on top of these bearings instead of inserting it through. They work similar to miniature turntables, so you can even use them to precisely rotate equipment. Fastened by a center rivet, these bearings don’t require you to assemble cages and washers like three-piece designs. They have thick washers, deeply grooved raceways, and oversized balls to support higher loads than bearings of the same size. The balls are exposed, which makes them easy to lubricate, but the oil may attract dust and grime.
    Steel—Strong and wear resistant. However, these bearings are best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.

    Small but mighty, our thinnest rolling thrust bearings slot into tight spaces and spin at whirring speeds. Their long, slender rollers support thrust loads and reduce friction in everything from machine tool spindles to gearboxes.
    A cage holds the rollers in place. You can install these bearings without washers between hardened, ground surfaces for the thinnest profile. If you’re working with unhardened, unground surfaces, you’ll need two washers for the rollers to run on. This three-piece design is easy to lubricate, but the oil will attract dust and grime since it’s exposed.

    A unique design allows these joints to support heavy one-direction thrust loads as well as combined radial/thrust loads. Also known as spherical bearings, you can press them into tight spots where a rod end shank won’t fit or mount them in a drilled hole or a rod end blank.
    Lubricate these joints with any type of bearing grease when you install them. Apply the grease to the exposed surface of the ball, then rotate the ball to work the grease into the races. You’ll need to reapply grease regularly.

    Specially designed lubrication channels and integral seals allow these joints to last up to three times longer than other swivel joints. Also known as spherical bearings, they support angular misalignment. Press into a hole or housing where a ball joint rod end won’t fit. All have seals to keep grease in and contaminants out. Joints come greased and can be lubricated through a hole in the housing without removing the load.
