    Sealed

    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.
    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.

    High-Load Face-Mount Crossed-Roller Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Roller Bearings. High-Load Face-Mount Crossed-Roller Bearings.
    With thicker inner and outer raceways, these bearings can handle heavier loads than thin-profile crossed roller bearings. Mounting holes on the inner and outer rings allow for fastening onto hollow joints and shafts. The rollers face in alternating directions to allow for rigid, accurate motion under any combination of radial, thrust, and moment (twisting) loads. Use in applications where highly accurate motion is necessary, such as machine tools and industrial robots.
    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.

    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.

    Spherical-Roller Bearings

    Two rows of rollers give these bearings dynamic radial load capacities over five times higher than comparably sized tapered-roller bearings. Also known as rock crusher bearings, they handle heavy shock loads and are used for metal milling machinery, mining and oil field equipment, and in paper mills.

    Low-Profile Maintenance-Free Turntable Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Turntable Bearings. Low-Profile Maintenance-Free Turntable Bearings.
    At 16 mm tall, these bearings are about the height of your typical plastic water bottle cap, so they won’t bulk up your builds. They handle radial, thrust, and moment loads. Often used to oscillate heavy equipment, find them rotating hoists or spinning components on robotic arms. The internal sleeve moves smoothly and will never require lubrication. For easy alignment and mounting, these bearings have holes on both the inner and outer ring. They’re also known as slewing-ring bearings.
    Note: Listed capacities only apply when bearings are mounted parallel to the ground. Otherwise, they reduce when bearings are tilted.

    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.

    Bearings

    Washers

    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.
    Steel—Strong and wear resistant. However, these bearings are best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.

    Bearing Locknuts

    Carbon Steel

    With a nylon insert that grips your threaded shaft or spindle without damaging its threads, these locknuts—also called shaft nuts—hold bearings, bushings, gears, and pulleys prone to vibration tightly in place. They come as one piece, so you can easily clamp them onto your shaft or spindle. But, since they aren’t made entirely of metal, they don’t stand up to heat as well as all-metal locknuts. Slots in their sides mean you can tighten and loosen them with a spanner wrench or spanner socket. Their face is also chamfered to help keep the size and weight of your assembly at a minimum. All meet international standards for bearing locknut dimensions.
    Zinc-Plated Carbon Steel—Zinc-plated carbon steel locknuts resist rusting from some moisture, but you shouldn’t use them with salt water or chemicals. They are strong and resist wear, though they don’t stand up to corrosion as well as 303 stainless steel locknuts.
    Thread Spacing—When choosing your thread spacing, consider the precision of your application. The finer the threads, the more control you have when making adjustments.

    Carbon Steel

    Chamfered Face

    Often paired with spring lock washers to strengthen their hold, these bearing nuts—also known as shaft nuts—keep vibration from shifting bearings, bushings, pulleys, and gears on your threaded shaft or spindle. They have slotted sides, so you can tighten and loosen them with a spanner wrench or spanner socket.
    Carbon Steel—Carbon steel bearing nuts are strong and resist wear.
    Chamfered Face—Chamfered-face bearing nuts weigh less and produce less heat than stepped-face nuts.
    ISO 2982— Some chamfered-face bearing nuts meet ISO 2982 (formerly DIN 981), an international standard for bearing locknut dimensions. Their sizes correspond to SKF KM series. Use them with DIN 5406 spring lock washers.
