Seals / Shielding




   Seals / Shielding:      Seals and shields provide protection from contamination and as a retainer for lubricant.  Seals provide better protection and lubricant containment than shields, but have lower maximum speed capabilities.
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   None (Open Bearing)
 
     Bearing is open, has no seals or shields.  Open bearings offer no protection from contamination or lubricant containment, but have higher maximum speed capabilities than bearings with seals or shields.
 
   Single Seal

   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Special Material / Plating Options




   Stainless Steel
 
     Stainless steel is chemical and corrosion resistant and can have relatively high pressure ratings.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Plastic
 
     Any of numerous organic, synthetic, or processed materials that are mostly thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers of high molecular weight and that can be made into objects, films, or filaments.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Ceramic Hybrid (ceramic balls)
 
     A ceramic hybrid bearing is constructed of steel inner and outer rings with ceramic (typically Si3N4balls in place of steel.  These bearings have several advantages over all steel bearings, such as higher speed and acceleration capability, increased stiffness, higher accuracy, lower friction and heat generation, reduced lubrication requirements, low thermal expansion, extended operating life.  Bearings containing all ceramic balls are also nonconductive and are commonly used in electric motor applications.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Plated
 
     Bearing is plated.  Common plating materials are cadmium and chrome.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
Bearing Design




   Bearing Design:       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   One Directional Thrust

Angular Contact Bearing

     Tolerates some misalignment. Same radial load as deep-groove bearings, but 2-3 times the thrust load.
 
   Double Direction Thrust
 
     Double direction angular contact thrust ball bearings are double row bearings constructed with uniquely designed inner and outer rings. These bearings accommodate thrust loads from either direction. In contrast to other angular contact bearings they have steep contact angles, typically 60°.
 
   Double Row

     Double row angular contact ball bearings have two rows of balls in a single inner and outer ring.
 
   Double Row Maximum Capacity Angular
 
     Double row angular contact ball bearings have two rows of balls in a single inner and outer ring.  These bearings are similar to double row angular contact bearings, except that they are of the maximum capacity (filling slot) variety.  The higher number of balls results in much higher load carrying capacity.
 
   Duplex Thrust
 
     Two match-ground one-directional thrust bearings used as a set.  They are typically used for two-directional thrust loads or very high one-directional thrust loads.  Three duplex mounting arrangements are possible:
 
   Four Point Contact
 
     Single row angular contact bearings designed such that the ball has four contact points, two with the outer race and two with the inner race.  Four-point contact ball bearings carry radial and axial loads, as well as moment loads in a relatively small space; however, they are intended mainly for axial loads.
 
   Other
 
     Unlisted, unspecified, or proprietary configuration.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   Thin-section
 
     Thin-section bearings have small cross-sections with respect to their diameter. They are designed to save space, lower the weight of a design, and reduce friction.  Some thin-section bearings are also referred to as torque tube bearings.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Ball Screw Support
 
     These bearings are specially designed for use in ball screw or lead screw applications.  Most ball screw support bearings are angular contact bearings with a steep contact angle, such as 60°, and are available in duplex, triplex and quadruplex configurations.  Other designs include bearings containing separate thrust and radial roller bearings in a single assembly.  Cartridge designs are also available that include a housing, seals, and bearings.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Flanged
 
     The bearing has a flange for mounting or locating.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
Lubrication Options
The most common bearing lubrications are grease or oil.  Consult supplier for the best lubrication for an application.



   Relubricatable
 
     This applies to sealed bearings only.  Relubricatable bearings have provisions for relubricating the bearing (usually with grease) without removing the seals.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Prelubricated
 
     Bearing is prelubricated from the factory.  Bearings with seals and shields usually are pre-lubricated with grease.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Solid Lubrication
 
     Solid lubricants can be used in a vacuum, in high and low temperature applications, and where oil or grease may be a contaminate.  Solid Lubrication Bearings feature excellent oil retention and long lubrication life.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
