Series T designates a heavy duty four-point contact ball bearing. Each raceway is precision ground to form a Gothic arch. The ball contacts each raceway to two points hence the term four-point contact. This geometry enables the bearing to support thrust, moment and radial loads simultaneously.

Construction: These bearings are produced from special alloy steel through hardened to the appropriate level for the application. The ball paths are induction hardened to 58-62Rc. Balls are made from A.I.S.I. 52100 steel.

Applications: Ideal applications for Avon Series T bearings include cranes, excavators, fire apparatus, wastewater treatment equipment, forestry equipment, wind energy, capstans, welding positioners, amusement rides and military equipment.

Advantages: The Series T bearing is the most popular style of Avon bearing. Many designs are in regular production or in stock. These bearings offer higher static capacities than the Series R (cross roller) bearing.
