Bearings Key benefits Reduce friction and wear between moving parts to enable smooth rotation and extend component life. Support radial and axial loads while maintaining alignment, helping to minimize vibration and wear on connected parts. Sealed or shielded variants protect against dust, moisture, and contaminants for longer service intervals. Available in a range of sizes and configurations to fit standard shafts and housings, with material options for different environments. Why you need them To enable reliable rotation in motors, gearboxes, wheels, conveyors, and other rotating assemblies. To preserve surrounding components by absorbing loads and reducing wear during operation. To achieve predictable, maintainable performance with appropriate lubrication and sealing. What makes them stand out Broad compatibility with standard mounting patterns and common shaft sizes. Material and seal options to suit corrosion resistance, temperature, and environment. Consistent performance across typical load and speed ranges, with design variations to match application needs. Key attributes Function: provide smooth rotation, load support, and alignment maintenance in rotating assemblies. Compatibility: designed to fit standard bore sizes, outer diameters, and mounting configurations; verify shaft diameter and housing bore for a precise fit. Size: available from miniature to large bearings, in metric and inch sizes, to suit diverse equipment. Material: typically bearing steel; stainless steel or ceramic variants may be available; cages in steel or polymer, depending on model. Performance: rated for defined load and speed ranges; precision and tolerance classes vary by model; lubrication requirements depend on design. Use scenarios Automotive: wheel hub assemblies and driveline components require reliable bearings to handle radial and axial loads in challenging conditions. Home appliances: washing machines, dryers, and fans rely on quiet, durable bearings for smooth operation and long service life. Industrial machinery and robotics: conveyors, CNC machines, and robotic joints need precise, durable rotation with predictable life. Selection and care tips Choose bearing type, material, seal, and lubrication based on load, speed, environment, and maintenance plan. Check bore size, outer diameter, width, and clearance to ensure proper fit with housing and shaft. Follow manufacturer guidance for lubrication intervals and replacement to maximize life.
