Design Your Own Bearings
Optional Bearing Components
A broad assortment of seal styles and materials is available
Seals
Seals can be added to keep contamination out of our
bearings or to help keep grease in. Various labyrinth
designs offer cost-effective options. Teflon seals are
a choice for low-torque performance. Lip contact
seals can be molded from rubber or thermoplastic for
maximum effectiveness.
Stainless steels, various platings and polymers are available.
Material Options
The majority of our bearings are manufactured from
carbon steel. Various heat treat processes produce
the hardness and case depths required by specific
applications. Special platings and coatings provide the
required corrosion resistance or appearance. We use
stainless steels when severely corrosive environments
are anticipated. Also, engineered polymers can reduce
rolling noise or corrosion. We can form a tire by insertmolding polymers to the steel bearing, or make the
entire bearing of an engineered polymer.
Ball cages allow higher speeds.
Cage-Type Bearings
Nylon finger-style cages are available in many sizes.
The caged design provides better ball guidance,
allowing higher speed capabilities (up to 2000 rpm). By
separating the balls, the cage also provides a quieter
bearing. This design can hold more grease for longer
life in difficult applications.
Roller bearings support higher loads
Ball Bearings
The FHD full-complement design allows the assembly
of the maximum number of balls without a loading slot.
This construction provides the greatest load capacity
while minimizing cost. It is suitable for applications
where noise and speed are not critical.
Roller Bearings
Using rollers instead of balls provides additional load
capacity and stability. A full complement of cylindrical
rollers can be used for most applications.
