    Shielded

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

    Permanently Lubricated Ball Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Ball Bearings. 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.
    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.

    Needle-Roller Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Roller Bearings. Needle-Roller Bearings.
    Also known as drawn-cup roller bearings, these are our thinnest roller bearings. The outer ring is drawn out to form a lip that holds the bearing together. Bearings take on the shape of their housing and may be oblong prior to installation.
    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.

    Ball Bearings for Food and Beverage

    Sealed

    Food production rolls along smoothly on these bearings. Greased with FDA-compliant lubricant, they’re safe to install on food-processing equipment, such as conveyor belts, so long as they don’t directly touch the food. The 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.

    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.
    Chamfered Face—Chamfered-face bearing nuts weigh less and produce less heat than stepped-face nuts.
    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.
    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.
    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

    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.
    Carbon Steel—All carbon steel locknuts are strong and resist wear, though they don’t stand up to corrosion as well as 303 stainless steel locknuts.
    303 Stainless Steel—303 stainless steel locknuts resist corrosion better than carbon steel locknuts but aren’t as strong. They withstand washdowns and chemicals.
    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.
