Thrust Ball Bearings for Shaft Ends
Use these bearings as miniature high-precision turntables. They have a unique design that allows your shaft to sit on top of the bearing rather than being inserted through it. Bearings can be bonded to a mounting plate or press-fit into a hole.

Needle-Roller Thrust Bearings
Thinner rollers allow these bearings to fit in tighter spaces than tapered-roller thrust bearings. Because of the large contact area between the rollers and washers (not included), these bearings are great for medium to heavy duty, low-friction jobs. For use on hardened and ground surfaces.
Washers allow you to use the bearing on unhardened and unground surfaces.

Ball Joint Rod End Inserts
Without changing the ID, these inserts handle some misalignment on rod ends. They attach to your rod end to move your fastener away from the rod-end body.
Washer-style inserts also protect rod ends. They’re commonly known as retaining safety washers.
303 stainless steel inserts won’t rust in wet, humid, and washdown environments.

Swivel Joints
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 joints keep grease in and contaminants out.

Lubrication-Free Swivel Joints
A slippery PTFE liner reduces friction without the oily mess. Also known as spherical bearings, they support angular misalignment. Press them into a hole or housing where a ball joint rod end won’t fit.

Lubrication-Free Corrosion-Resistant Swivel Joints
A slippery PTFE liner reduces wear and eliminates the need for lubrication. Made of stainless steel, these swivel joints are stronger than plastic models and more corrosion resistant than steel ones. Also known as spherical bearings, they support angular misalignment. Press them into a hole or housing where a ball joint rod end won’t fit.

Corrosion-Resistant Swivel Joints
Stronger than plastic models, these stainless steel swivel joints are also more corrosion resistant than steel joints. Ball is heat treated for strength. Also known as spherical bearings, they support angular misalignment. Press them into a hole or housing where a ball joint rod end won’t fit. They don't come lubricated, so you'll need to lubricate during installation and on an ongoing basis.

Lightweight Swivel Joints
These nylon swivel joints are 80% lighter than steel swivel joints with better corrosion resistance. Also known as spherical bearings, they support angular misalignment. Press them into a hole or housing where a ball joint rod end won’t fit.

Extended-Life Swivel Joints
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.

Thrust-Rated Swivel Joints
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.

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.
For impact-resistant tapered roller bearings, as well as other bearing materials and sizes, please see Ball and Roller Bearings and Sleeve Bearings. Roller bearings provide smooth rolling.
Retaining washers hold roller bearings in place.
