Bearings
Bearings reduce friction between moving parts and support radial and axial loads. Critical for rotating equipment reliability and efficiency.
Part Types
Ball Bearings
Ball bearings use spherical rolling elements to reduce friction. Suitable for moderate radial and thrust loads at high speeds.
3 partsCeramic Bearings
High-speed, corrosion-resistant ceramic elements
70 partsLinear Bearings
Support linear motion applications
70 partsMagnetic Bearings
Contactless support using magnetic levitation
70 partsMounted Bearings
Pre-assembled bearing units with housings
70 partsNeedle Bearings
Thin cylindrical rollers for compact radial loads
70 partsRoller Bearings
Roller bearings use cylindrical, tapered, or spherical rollers for heavy radial loads. Higher load capacity than ball bearings.
0 partsSleeve Bearings
Sleeve bearings (bushings) provide sliding contact support. Simple design with low cost, suitable for slow speeds and oscillating motion.
0 partsSpherical Bearings
Self-aligning for misalignment compensation
70 partsThrust Bearings
Thrust bearings support axial loads parallel to the shaft. Available in ball, roller, and sliding configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I determine bearing size for my application?
Calculate required load rating based on radial and axial forces, then select a bearing with appropriate dynamic load rating (C) for desired L10 life. Consider shaft diameter constraints and speed limitations.
What is the difference between sealed and shielded bearings?
Sealed bearings (2RS) have rubber contact seals providing better contamination exclusion but higher friction. Shielded bearings (ZZ) have non-contact metal shields allowing higher speeds but less protection.
