For greater accuracy and higher speeds, these bearings are made to tighter tolerances than standard ball bearings.

Shielded bearings dissipate heat more efficiently than sealed bearings.

Sealed bearings block out dust and other contaminants better than shielded bearings.

With a spherical raceway and two rows of balls, these bearings compensate for shaft misalignment.

Open bearings dissipate heat more efficiently than sealed bearings.

Sealed bearings block out dust and other contaminants better than open bearings, but retain more heat.

Good for use in electric motors and power generators, these bearings have ceramic balls that insulate against stray current to prevent damage to the bearing. The ceramic balls generate less heat than steel balls, so they require lubrication less frequently.

Internal locking elements (sprags) lock to transmit torque in one direction while turning freely in the other direction. Use them in applications where precision movement is required, such as pick-and-place and automated indexing conveyor systems. Shields keep out dust and contaminants.

For dirty or dusty environments, sealed bearings are the best choice, since they block out contaminants better than shielded bearings.

Bearings are 440C stainless steel for good corrosion resistance.

Shielded bearings block out dust and other contaminants, but do not dissipate heat as efficiently as open bearings.

Good for applications with incidental food contact, these 440C stainless steel bearings have a food-grade, solid polymer lubricant between the balls and ring that eliminates 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.

With two rows of balls, these lightweight bearings have greater durability and load capacity—and a wider profile—than single-row plastic bearings. They’re commonly used in bottle-filling machines and other food-processing applications. The acetal body doesn’t absorb water, so it can operate in liquids or be washed down without losing strength. The balls are made of either glass or 316 stainless steel—both materials are corrosion resistant. Since there’s no metal-on-metal contact between the balls and the body, these bearings don’t require lubrication.

Install these bearings for use with combined radial and thrust loads. They are often used in spindle applications and can be combined with cylindrical roller bearings to better handle radial loads.

Single-row bearings handle thrust loads on one side. For applications with thrust loads on both sides, mount them in pairs.

Open bearings dissipate heat more efficiently than shielded and sealed bearings.

Mount these bearings on a support rail shaft for applications requiring maximum rigidity. All have end seals to keep lubricant in and dirt out. To install, slide bearings into a housing (not included). For bearings with retaining ring grooves, secure with two retaining rings (sold individually).

Fixed-alignment bearings are for use where shaft misalignment is unlinkely.
