Bearing Type


	Bearing Type:
	Your choices are...
	Radial Ball Bearing Courtesy of GlobalSpec, Inc.		Radial, or deep groove bearings, can take radial and axial loads to varying degrees but are used when the primary load is in the radial direction. They consist of an inner ring, an outer ring, balls and sometimes a cage to contain and separate the balls.
	Angular Contact Ball Bearing Courtesy of GlobalSpec, Inc.		Angular contact bearings are designed such that a contact angle between the races and the balls is formed when the bearing is in use. The major design characteristic of this type of bearing is that one or both or the ring races have one shoulder higher than the other. In order for these bearings to function properly, they must be assembled with a thrust load. This loading (or preload) creates a line of contact (or contact angle) between the inner race, the ball and the outer race. The preload can be built in to the bearing or created when the bearing is inserted into an assembly. The contact angle varies from 15° to 40° and is measured relative to a line running perpendicular to the bearing axis. Angular contact bearings are one-directional thrust bearings that can withstand heavy thrust loads and moderate radial loads.
	Mast Guide Bearing		Mast guide bearings are heavy-duty bearings designed for use in forklift applications.
	Thrust Bearing Courtesy of GlobalSpec, Inc.		Thrust ball bearings are designed for pure thrust loads. These bearings can handle little or no radial loads. The rolling element can be a ball, needle, or roller.
	Slewing Ring / Turntable Bearing		These bearings can accommodate axial, radial and moment loads. They are not mounted in housing or on a shaft, but instead are mounted directly to a seating surface. The inner and outer rings are supplied with mounting holes. The inner ring, outer ring, or both may have integral gears. These bearings are referred to as tabletop bearings, turntable bearings, and slewing rings.
	Other		Unlisted, unspecified, or proprietary configuration.

Bore Size


	Bore Size		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


	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.

ABEC Rating ANSI - American National Standards Institute AFBMA - Anti-friction Bearing Manufacturers Association ABEC - Annular Bearing Engineers Committee Refer to tables below for quality standards and cross reference to other standards organizations. Note: Stretch window to resize table(s).

ABEC Rating:

ABEC (Annular Bearing Engineers' Committee) ratings classify different accuracy and tolerance ranges for bearings. The higher the ABEC number the tighter the bearing tolerances.

Search Logic:

All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
