Dimensions
   Bore
Diagram - Parts of a bearing(click to enlarge)Courtesy of GlobalSpec, Inc.
  		     The bearing industry uses a standard numbering system for bearings with metric-diameter bores. If the bore is hexagonal, enter the dimension across the flats.  If the bore is tapered, enter the smaller diameter. For bore sizes 04 and up, multiply the bore size by 5 to identify the bore diameter in millimeters (mm). Refer to the table below. 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Outside Diameter       Enter the outside diameter of the bearing. For housed bearings, include the housing. For flanged bearings, exclude the flange. 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Outer Ring Width:       The width of the outer ring. 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

Seals / Shielding
   Seals / Shielding:      Seals and shields provide protection from contamination and as a retainer for lubricant.  Seals provide better protection and lubricant containment than shields, but have lower maximum speed capabilities.
   Your choices are...         
   None (Open Bearing)       Bearing is open, has no seals or shields.  Open bearings offer no protection from contamination or lubricant containment, but have higher maximum speed capabilities than bearings with seals or shields. 
   Single Seal
Bearing Diagram pointing out seal(click to enlarge)Courtesy of GlobalSpec, Inc.
  		     Bearing has one seal to prevent the ingress of dirt. 
   Double Seal       Bearing has two seals to prevent the ingress of dirt. 
   Single Shield
Bearing Diagram pointing out shield(click to enlarge)Courtesy of GlobalSpec, Inc.
  		     Bearing has one shield to prevent the ingress of dirt. 
   Double Shield       Bearing has two shields to prevent the ingress of dirt. 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Special Material / Plating Options
   Stainless Steel       Stainless steel is chemical and corrosion resistant and can have relatively high pressure ratings. 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Plastic       Any of numerous organic, synthetic, or processed materials that are mostly thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers of high molecular weight and that can be made into objects, films, or filaments. 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Ceramic Hybrid (ceramic balls)       A ceramic hybrid bearing is constructed of steel inner and outer rings with ceramic (typically Si3N4) balls in place of steel.  These bearings have several advantages over all steel bearings, such as higher speed and acceleration capability, increased stiffness, higher accuracy, lower friction and heat generation, reduced lubrication requirements, low thermal expansion, extended operating life.  Bearings containing all ceramic balls are also nonconductive and are commonly used in electric motor applications. 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Plated       Bearing is plated.  Common plating materials are cadmium and chrome. 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.

Bearing Design
   Bearing Design:       
   Your choices are...         
   One Directional Thrust
Angular Contact BearingCourtesy of Timken Super Precision
  		     Tolerates some misalignment. Same radial load as deep-groove bearings, but 2-3 times the thrust load. 
   Double Direction Thrust       Double direction angular contact thrust ball bearings are double row bearings constructed with uniquely designed inner and outer rings. These bearings accommodate thrust loads from either direction. In contrast to other angular contact bearings they have steep contact angles, typically 60°. 
   Double Row
Angular contact ball bearings - double row (drawing)Courtesy of CCVI Bearing Company
  		     Double row angular contact ball bearings have two rows of balls in a single inner and outer ring. 
   Double Row Maximum Capacity Angular       Double row angular contact ball bearings have two rows of balls in a single inner and outer ring.  These bearings are similar to double row angular contact bearings, except that they are of the maximum capacity (filling slot) variety.  The higher number of balls results in much higher load carrying capacity. 
   Duplex Thrust       Two match-ground one-directional thrust bearings used as a set.  They are typically used for two-directional thrust loads or very high one-directional thrust loads.  Three duplex mounting arrangements are possible: 
   Four Point Contact       Single row angular contact bearings designed such that the ball has four contact points, two with the outer race and two with the inner race.  Four-point contact ball bearings carry radial and axial loads, as well as moment loads in a relatively small space; however, they are intended mainly for axial loads. 
   Other       Unlisted, unspecified, or proprietary configuration. 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   Thin-section       Thin-section bearings have small cross-sections with respect to their diameter. They are designed to save space, lower the weight of a design, and reduce friction.  Some thin-section bearings are also referred to as torque tube bearings. 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Ball Screw Support       These bearings are specially designed for use in ball screw or lead screw applications.  Most ball screw support bearings are angular contact bearings with a steep contact angle, such as 60°, and are available in duplex, triplex and quadruplex configurations.  Other designs include bearings containing separate thrust and radial roller bearings in a single assembly.  Cartridge designs are also available that include a housing, seals, and bearings. 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Flanged       The bearing has a flange for mounting or locating. 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.

Lubrication Options The most common bearing lubrications are grease or oil.  Consult supplier for the best lubrication for an application.
   Relubricatable       This applies to sealed bearings only.  Relubricatable bearings have provisions for relubricating the bearing (usually with grease) without removing the seals. 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Prelubricated       Bearing is prelubricated from the factory.  Bearings with seals and shields usually are pre-lubricated with grease. 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Solid Lubrication       Solid lubricants can be used in a vacuum, in high and low temperature applications, and where oil or grease may be a contaminate.  Solid Lubrication Bearings feature excellent oil retention and long lubrication life. 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
