Angular contact bearings are designed such that there is an angle between the races and the balls when the bearing is in operation. An axial load passes in a straight line through the bearing, whereas a radial load takes an oblique path that tends to want to separate the races axially. So the angle of contact on the inner race is the same as that o ...

Full Ceramic Angular Contact Bearings are made entirely of ceramic material and are superior to common Steel Angular Contact Bearings in many ways. Ceramic is the perfect material for any application seeking to achieve higher RPM’s, reduce overall weight or for extremely harsh environments where high temperatures and corrosive substances are presen ...

Starting from the rigorous testing of the wire for all crucial factors, balls are produced in specifically designed machines called Headder, Flasher, Grinder and Lapper. Heat treatment is one of the most important operations that give required strength & hardness to the balls. Heat treatment makes the balls tough and wear resistant. Different mater ...

There are two basic types of dental ball bearings depending on the type of work that the tool is designed for. The first type is the Radial Bearing and the second type is the Thrust Bearing. Radial Bearings are designed for working in deep grooves and for angled dental surfaces. Radial Bearings have an inner ring, an outer ring, a series of balls a ...

Matched Pair bearings are Angular contact ball bearings that are suitable for applications that require high accuracy and high-speed performance. Bearings with a smaller contact angle are more suitable for high-speed rotation; those with a larger contact angle are more suitable for high load applications. Angular contact ball bearings are often pre ...

Flange mounted bearings are used when a shaft axis is perpendicular to the bearing mounting surface. Available in 2, 3, or 4-hole configurations, flange mounted bearings provide a method of accurate mounting fits and load support. 2-bolt flanged bearings have a diamond shaped flange with 2 mounting holes. Most 3-bolt flanged bearings have a circul ...

Needle bearings use a roller style rolling element to reduce friction of a rotating surface. Needle Bearings have a high load carrying capacity with a very small cross section height. They are available with or without an inner ring. The needle rollers are guided parallel to the axis using a cage retainer, thrust bearings can also be supplied with ...

An O'ring is a mechanical gasket in the shape of a circle; it is a loop of pliable material with a disc-shaped cross-section, designed to be seated into a groove and compressed during assembly between two or more parts, creating a seal.

The O'ring may be used in static applications or in dynamic applications where there is relative motion betw ...

Oil seals have a flexible lip that rubs against a shaft or housing to prevent the leakage or contamination of fluids and debris. For proper installation, the seal lip should point towards the lubrication being contained. Some oil seals have a spring to help keep the lip in contact with the shaft. The sealing orientation and direction is important ...

Oilite Bushings are an oil impregnated powder metal bushing. 15% of the weight of the bushing is the oil that has been impregnated by using hot oil and a vacuum system under pressure. The air is sucked out of the powder metal bushing pores creating a void that is then filled with oil. Over time oil leaves the bushing. Oil comes out by centrifugal ...

Mini One-Way Clutch Bearings are capable of idling in one direction while establishing gear engagement in the other direction. One-way Clutch Bearings are used in RC Cars, RC Helicopters, RC Engines, Robotics, ATM’s, Desktop Printers, Industrial Printers, Fishing Reels and much more.

Engineers often hesitate to use Plastic Bearings in their designs, because they have trusted steel bearings for years or they just don't think plastics can handle demanding applications or environments. Plastic Bearings, however, can endure extreme temperatures, heavy loads and high speeds. Some other benefits to Plastic Bearings are listed below. ...

Pressure Roller Bearings are coated with urethane rubber and fixed by special processing on its outer ring to keep its rotation accuracy. Under the proper radial loading, the coefficient of friction and hardness of rubber are useful for handling paper or for carrying mechanisms, guide bearings and idle bearings. Pressure Roller Bearings are commonl ...

The purpose of a radial bearing is to reduce rotational friction and support loads. This is achieved by using two races to hold the balls and to spread the load through the balls. As the bearing race rotates it causes the balls to rotate. The ball provides for substantially less rolling resistance and coefficient of friction than if two flat surfac ...

Full Ceramic Bearings are made entirely of ceramic material and are superior to common steel bearings in many ways. Ceramic is the perfect material for any application seeking to achieve higher RPM’s, reduce overall weight or for extremely harsh environments where high temperatures and corrosive substances are present. Applications such as cryopump ...

Rod End Bearings, also known as a heim joint (N. America) or rose joint (U.K. and elsewhere), are a mechanical articulating joint. Rod End Bearings are used on the ends of cylinders, linkages, rods, and shafts to take up misalignment between connected parts. They consist of a spherically-shaped inner ring and a cylindrical bore for mounting on a sh ...

A Self Aligning Bearing has two rows of balls and a one, concave spherical raceway in the outer ring. As a result the bearing is self-aligning and insensitive to misalignments of the shaft in relation to the housing. Self Aligning Bearings are particularly suitable for applications where considerable shaft misalignment is to be expected. Self Align ...

Full Ceramic Self Aligning Bearings are made entirely of ceramic material and are superior to common steel bearings in many ways. Ceramic is the perfect material for any application seeking to achieve higher RPM’s, reduce overall weight or for extremely harsh environments where high temperatures and corrosive substances are present.

Spherical Ball Bushings are used to accommodate shafts or rods with variable amounts of misalignment. They are designed to manage high radial loads and provide consistent performance under conditions of marginal lubrication, extreme speed and critical stress. Most spherical ball bushings consist of a plain bearing and ball bushing inside a lined, c ...

Tapered roller bearings can take both large axial forces, and radial forces due to their cup and cone design. The inner and outer races are separable and shaped like a cone; the rollers also have a taper. This tapered design distributes the weight and results in a bearing capable of handling relatively high loads. The larger the half angles of thes ...

Thrust bearings are designed for side or axial loads, and cannot handle much radial load at all. The rolling element in a thrust bearing can be a ball, needle or roller. Thrust bearings come in both metric and inch sizes. Dimensions to consider when searching are the bore, the outside diameter and the overall width. Operating specifications to con ...
