1 bearing What it is and why you need it 1 bearing is a precision component designed to support rotating shafts in a wide range of equipment. It enables smooth motion, reduces wear, and provides reliable performance in daily operation. Key benefits Smooth operation with low friction for quiet, efficient rotation Strong radial load support and reliable axial load handling for longer service life Durable construction from grade materials with options for corrosion resistance Wide compatibility with standard shaft sizes and housings Various size options and material choices to fit different applications Sealed or shielded variants available for protection against dust and moisture Material and construction Standard option uses grade alloy steel for strength and durability Stainless steel variants available for corrosion resistance in harsh environments Precision grinding and tight tolerances ensure consistent performance Cage options typically include steel or polymer for stability and reduced friction Size and compatibility Available in multiple bore sizes and outer diameters to suit common configurations Designed to fit standard shaft diameters and housings used in industries such as manufacturing and processing Suitable for replacement in existing equipment or integration into designs Performance characteristics Reliable rotation under a range of operating temperatures and conditions Consistent tolerances contribute to predictable alignment and wear patterns Durable enough for continuous operation in demanding systems Variants Sealed versions provide dust and moisture protection for longer life in challenging environments Shielded versions offer a balance of protection and ease of maintenance Applications and use scenarios Electric motors and gearboxes: supports rotor shafts for efficient power transmission Conveyor systems and material handling: drives rollers with dependable, lowfriction support Robotics and automation: enables precise, smooth motion in actuators and joint assemblies How to choose Identify the required bore diameter and outer diameter to match your shaft and housing Select material based on environment: alloy steel for general use, stainless steel for corrosionprone areas Decide on seal or shield variant based on dust, moisture, and maintenance needs Installation and maintenance notes Install with appropriate interference fit or mounting as specified for the model Inspect seals and shields regularly in dusty or wet environments bearings that show signs of excessive play, noise, or temperature rise promptly
