Ultra-Thin Ball Bearings
These bearings have twice as many contact points as angular-contact ball bearings. Fit onto large-diameter hollow shafts to run air and hydraulic lines, electrical wiring, and other components through moving parts in assemblies such as index and rotary tables, packaging equipment, and robotics.
Open bearings dissipate heat more efficiently than shielded bearings.

Oil-Embedded Thrust Bearings
Startup friction causes these porous bronze bearings to release a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface. They are also known as Oilite® bearings.
Note: Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load a bearing can withstand at a given shaft speed. If your application’s load and speed requirements are below the values listed, the bearing will work.

High-Load Ultra-Low-Friction Oil-Embedded Thrust Bearings
Handle heavy loads that frequently start and stop along shafts—these bearings contain extra iron and slippery PTFE lubricant. Startup friction causes a thin layer of PTFE to release onto the surface. Thanks to their high iron content, they also resist failing if their load suddenly and drastically increases, but they won’t run as fast as standard bearings. They’re thrust bearings, which means they support loads parallel to the shaft.

MDS-Filled Easy-to-Machine Wear-Resistant Cast Nylon Tubes
- Color: Black
- Maximum Temperature: 230° F
- Tensile Strength: 10,000 psi (Good)
- Impact Strength: 1.4 ft.-lbs./in. (Poor)
- Hardness: Rockwell R110 (Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: Yes
- Specifications Met: ASTM D5989
The addition of MDS gives these tubes exceptional wear resistance along with a self-lubricating surface. They're made of cast nylon 6, making them easier to machine and better electrical insulators than other MDS-filled nylon tubes. Tubes can be used to fabricate pulleys, bushings, and bearings installed in hard-to-reach areas where adding a lubricant would be difficult. The OD is oversized and the ID is undersized to allow for finishing to the sizes listed. This material is comparable to Nylatron and Nycast.
