    High-Load Crossed-Roller Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Roller Bearings. High-Load Crossed-Roller Bearings.
    The thicker inner and outer raceways on these bearings can handle heavier loads than the thin-profile crossed-roller bearings. 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.
    Sealed Bearing—Sealed bearings block out dust and other contaminants better than open bearings, but retain more heat.

    Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Sleeve Bearings. Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings.
    Made of naturally slippery plastic so you’ll never have to add lubricant. They’re ideal for clean environments where you need to prevent oil drips or graphite flakes. Compared to metal bearings, they are lighter and will never rust.
    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.
    Nylon—The most popular choice, nylon is wear resistant yet economical. Keep in mind, though, that it will swell and weaken when exposed to moisture.

    Dry-Running Metal-Reinforced Plastic Thrust Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Thrust Bearings. Dry-Running Metal-Reinforced Plastic Thrust Bearings.
    Combine naturally slippery PTFE with the strength of metal. These bearings don't need lubricant, so there's no oil to maintain, drip off, or attract dust. Backed with steel, they're as strong as other all-metal thrust bearings. However, they're best for dry environments since moisture will cause the steel to rust.

    Oil-Embedded Thrust Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Thrust Bearings. Oil-Embedded Thrust Bearings.
    Our simplest-to-use thrust bearings, with no moving parts and no need to lubricate. Their porous surface releases oil over time, so you can install and forget them. While they run in most conditions, oil may drip away if temperatures climb too high. For extremely hot environments, consider graphite-lubricated bearings. All are fabricated, lubricated, and inspected in the U.S.
    841 Bearing Bronze—A balance of strength and speed makes these bearings a good choice for most applications. Also known as SAE 841 bearing bronze.
    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 if the bearing heats up.

    Oil-Embedded Thrust Bearings for Food and Beverage

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Thrust Bearings. Oil-Embedded Thrust Bearings for Food and Beverage.
    Infused with food-grade oil, these bearings are safe for incidental contact with food. The oil is odorless, colorless, and tasteless, so they're common on food production and packaging lines. You can install and forget them since their porous surface releases oil over time. All are fabricated, lubricated, and inspected in the U.S.
    If you need a bearing rated for direct contact with food, consider dry-running thrust bearings for food and beverage.
    841 Bearing Bronze—A balance of strength and speed makes these bearings a good choice for most applications. Also known as SAE 841 bearing bronze.
    High-Load 863 Iron Copper—Iron makes these bearings harder, stronger, and more resistant to sudden starts and stops than 841 bearing bronze. However, they run at slower speeds. The increased iron content also makes them appear silver.
    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 if the bearing heats up.

    Shims

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Shims. Round, Sold Individually.
    With thickness tolerances as fine as a strand of hair, these shims precisely align, space, and level components on shafts, arbors, and machinery.
    You can stack multiple shims to achieve your exact thickness, but stacking more than four may cause them to shift. Remember, fewer shims are better, so a couple of thicker shims are more stable than a bunch of thin shims.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these shims resist rust. However, they’ll corrode or pit when exposed to salt water and chemicals.
    Highly Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Superior to 18-8 stainless steel, these shims won't degrade when exposed to harsh weather, salt water, and most chemicals.
    Carbon Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these shims to rust.
    Stress-Resistant Spring Steel—These shims are harder and hold their shape better than carbon steel. Use them for high-stress applications, such as leveling heavy machinery. They're best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.
    Aluminum—These shims are an alternative to stainless steel for rust resistance but aren't as hard so they may not retain their shape as well. One-third the weight of steel, they’re commonly used in robotics and automation.
    Brass—With a warm, polished look, these shims are often chosen for their appearance. Similar to 18-8 stainless steel, brass is corrosion resistant enough to stand up to wet environments.
    Copper—Good conductors of heat, these shims are often used when installing heat sinks. As our softest metal shims, they prevent damage to equipment and components but may not retain their shape as well as other metal shims.
    Ultra-Chemical-Resistant PTFE—The most chemical-resistant shims we offer, these stand up to the widest range of harsh acids, bases, solvents, and corrosive cleaners, even at temperatures up to 500° F. They also won't mar delicate surfaces.
    Material Certificate—Shims include a report with a traceable lot number.

    Carbon Steel

    Stepped 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.
    Stepped Face—Use stepped-face bearing nuts with DIN 462 spring lock washers. You can also use them in pairs or with other bearing nuts. For the nut closer to the bearing, position the stepped face towards the bearing. All meet DIN standards for bearing lockout dimensions.
    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.

    Metric Press-Fit Drill Bushings

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Drill Bushings. Metric Press-Fit Drill Bushings.
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Drill Bushings. Metric Press-Fit Drill Bushings.
    Also known as jig bushings, these metric drill bushings fit inside fixture plate holes to precisely guide drill bits, counterbores, reamers, and other cutting tools. They improve accuracy so that your drilled holes and cuts are consistent from part to part. Known for their versatility, drill bushings are also used as spacers, shims, and machinery bushings. These bushings are made of hardened, ground steel that holds its shape and resists wear, so they last for many cycles without needing to be replaced.
    All bushings have a chamfer on the outside that centers the bushing as you place it into the hole. Press into place with a manual or hydraulic press. Since the bushing is sized slightly larger than the hole for an extremely tight fit, it’ll stay put permanently. These are ANSI Type PM bushings—also known as headless bushings—which means you don’t need to counterbore the hole to mount them flush.
    They also have an internal chamfer that makes it easy to insert bits, pins, and punches without damaging the bushing or misaligning tools.
    Don't see the size you need? Additional sizes are available.
    DIN 179—DIN 179 bushings meet dimensional and material standards that make sure they're compatible with other parts and tools. Although DIN 179 is no longer an active standard, it's still a common reference point for designers.

    Used in pairs or with another bearing nut, these thin-profile nuts—often called shaft nuts—hold bearings, bushings, pulleys, and gears in place on your threaded shaft or spindle. Threading two nuts tightly against each other makes it harder for vibration to loosen your assembly than if you used only one nut. For the nut closer to the bearing, position the stepped face towards the bearing. These thin-profile nuts have holes on the side, so you can tighten and loosen them with a pin spanner wrench. All meet DIN 1816, an international standard for bearing locknut dimensions.

    Slotted Bushings

    with Spring Pin

    When locating a workpiece using through-hole alignment pins (sold separately), use one of these bushings and one standard bushing to prevent the pins from binding in your fixture. One pin sits in the standard drill bushing for tight-tolerance locating in all directions, and the other pin sits in the slotted bushing for tight-tolerance locating in only one direction. This functionality is similar to the combination of round and diamond-head locating pins. Press these bushings into a drilled hole for permanent installation. They’re also known as slotted locator bushings.
    Slotted Bushings with Spring Pin—A spring pin helps you align bushings and keep them from rotating. To mount in your fixture, drill one hole for the spring pin, then another for the bushing.
