Bearings What this product does Reduce friction and support rotating or sliding parts so machinery runs smoothly, quietly, and with less wear. Carry radial and/or axial loads to keep shafts, housings, and moving components aligned and reliable. Improve efficiency and extend component service life by minimizing heat and energy loss. Key benefits — why you need these bearings Lower maintenance and replacement costs by reducing wear on mating parts. Improve performance and uptime through stable rotation, reduced vibration, and consistent tolerances. Simplify installation and maintenance with standard sizes and common mounting geometries for quick replacement or upgrade. Important attributes to consider Function: Suitable for rotary and linear motion applications; available in configurations for radial load, axial load, or combined loading. Compatibility: Fits standard shaft diameters and housing bores; compatible with commonly used housings and seals. Verify bore, outer diameter, and width for correct fit. Size: Offered across a range of standard sizes and tolerance classes to match application requirements; select the correct bore and outer dimensions for proper fit and preload. Material options: Manufactured in widely used bearing materials (metal, ceramic, and polymer variants) to balance durability, corrosion resistance, and weight where needed. Performance: Designed for reliable operation across typical industrial speed and load ranges; sealed and shielded options available to control contamination and lubrication retention. Maintenance: Available in prelubricated sealed versions for lowmaintenance use, or open designs for relubrication and inspection. Practical use scenarios Electric motors and pumps: Maintain shaft alignment and reduce heat buildup for longer motor life and stable operation. Conveyor and materialhandling equipment: Support cycle rotation with designs that resist shock, dust, and misalignment to reduce downtime. Precision machinery and robotics: Deliver consistent, lowfriction motion for accurate positioning and smooth movement. Selection and installation tips Confirm bore, outer diameter, width, and load direction before ordering. Choose sealed or shielded bearings for dirty environments; choose open or relubricatable bearings where periodic maintenance is planned. Match material and clearance to operating temperature, speed, and corrosion conditions to optimize longevity. If you need help matching the right bearing configuration to your application, provide shaft size, expected loads, speed, and environment so the correct type and size can be recommended.
