Permanently Lubricated Stainless Steel Ball Bearings
A solid polymer lubricant surrounds the balls, eliminating the need for additional lubrication. The solid lubricant blocks out water and dust, extending the life of the bearing.
Sealed bearings have even better resistance to dust and contaminants than open bearings.

Multipurpose Sleeve Bearings with Groove
A figure-8-shaped groove provides a flow path for lubricant, distributing it evenly along the bearing’s surface. Bearings are cast bronze, making them strong, wear resistant, and excellent at handling shock loads. 932 bearing bronze is sometimes called 660 leaded bronze.
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.

Ultra-Low-Friction Oil-Embedded Thrust Bearings
For applications with frequent starts and stops, the oil in these bearings contains particles of slippery PTFE that lubricate the bearing during startup.

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.

High-Load Food Industry Oil-Embedded Thrust Bearings
Made of 863 iron-copper and embedded with NSF registered H1 oil, these bearings can tackle high-load applications in food plants, such as bottling and filling lines. Startup friction causes these bearings to release a thin layer of oil onto their surface. The oil is safe for incidental contact with food. Also known as Super Oilite® bearings, these bearings have high iron content, so they’re strong and hold up to shock loads.

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.

Metric Press-Fit Drill Bushings
Also known as jig bushings, these metric drill bushings fit inside fixture plate holes to 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. They also have internal chamfers, so it's easier to insert bits, pins, and punches into the bushing. 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.

Ring Shims
Precisely align, level, and adjust spacing on fasteners, shafts, and machinery with these shims.
For accurate leveling, choose materials such as steel or stainless steel, which are hard enough to resist scratching and deforming. Softer shims, like copper or aluminum, can be used as wear plates between components that rub together, preventing damage to equipment.
Stainless steel shims are more corrosion resistant than steel shims. 316 stainless steel shims have the best corrosion resistance of our stainless steel shims.
Carbon steel shims have excellent strength and can be welded, but aren't as corrosion resistant as other shims.
Spring steel shims are comparable in strength to carbon steel shims, but are harder and hold their shape better. They aren't as corrosion resistant as other shims.
Brass and copper shims are corrosion resistant and nonmagnetic.

Bearing Retaining Locknuts
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.
When choosing your thread spacing, consider the precision of your application. The finer the threads, the more control you have when making adjustments.
All carbon steel locknuts are strong and resist wear, though they don’t stand up to corrosion as well as stainless steel locknuts. Zinc-plated steel locknuts resist rusting from some moisture, but you shouldn’t use them with salt water or chemicals.

Bearing Retaining Nuts
Often paired with spring lock washers to strengthen their hold, these retaining 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.
Use stepped-face retaining nuts with DIN 462 spring lock washers. You can also use them in pairs or with other bearing retaining nuts as jam nuts. For the nut closer to the bearing, position the stepped face towards the bearing. All meet DIN standards for bearing lockout dimensions.
Carbon steel retaining nuts are strong and resist wear.

Bearing Retaining Jam Nuts
Used in pairs or with another bearing retaining nut, these jam 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 jam nuts have holes on the side, so you can tighten and loosen them with a pin spanner wrench. Made of carbon steel, they’re strong and wear resistant. All meet DIN 1816, an international standard for bearing locknut dimensions.

Quick-Grip Screw-Clamp Bushings
Also known as Trantorque bushings, these tighten with a twist of the collar nut—no screws needed. As you tighten the collar nut, the inner sleeve contracts onto the shaft and the outer sleeve expands to hold your sprocket, pulley, or gear.
