Search other suppliers in the following categories:
Ball bearings are used to provide smooth, low friction motion in rotary applications. Ball bearings types include radial ball bearings (deep groove and angular contact) and thrust ball bearings.
Ball screws, lead screws, and ACME screws are used to convert rotary motion or torque into thrust or linear motion.
Cam followers or track rollers are rolling element bearings with either an integral stud or an inseparable inner ring for yoke mounting on a pin or shaft.
Ceramic hybrid bearings, the most common type of ceramic bearing, are constructed of steel inner and outer rings with ceramic (typically Si3N4) balls in place of steel.  Common types of ceramic bearings are angular contact and conrad.
Cylindrical roller bearings have high radial-load capacity and moderate thrust loads. They contain rollers which are cylindrically-shaped, but crowned or end-relieved to reduce stress concentrations.
Dynamic seals include oil seals, hydraulic and pneumatic seals, exclusion seals, labyrinth seals, bearing isolators, and piston rings. They create a barrier between moving and stationary surfaces in applications such as rotating shafts and pistons rings.  This is a general search form; more detailed search forms are available.
Exclusion seals are comprised of wipers, scrapers and V-ring seals.
Flange mounted bearings are used when a shaft axis is perpendicular to the bearing mounting surface. They are available in 2, 3, or 4-hole configurations.
Hermetic seals provide a vacuum or leak tight seal such as a brazed glass-to-metal seal.
Induction heaters use an electrical source to drive alternating current (AC) through a coil to heat metal objects.
Industrial adhesives are organic or inorganic chemical compounds for joining components. This category covers all adhesive types.
Industrial greases are thickened gels that consist of natural, synthetic, or semi-synthetic substances. They do not run off surfaces and are used in a variety of lubrication, sealing, and exclusion applications.
This is a general search form for all types of industrial heaters, devices which are available in a variety of sizes, shapes, and heating configurations.
Industrial sealants are liquid or viscous compounds used between surfaces to contain fluids, prevent leaks, and prevent infiltration of unwanted material. They may also include compounds for filling gaps or seams.
Linear bearings are used in applications where a component needs to be moved along a straight line with high accuracy.
Linear guides and rails provide a smooth, precision, guiding surface on which the rolling element of a linear bearing rides.
Precision locknuts are used to secure bearings, gears, and other power transmission products to shafts and spindles.
Lubricators and lubrication systems are used to apply controlled or metered amounts of lubricant.
Miniature bearings and instrument bearings carry moderate radial and thrust loads at low operating torque while providing high performance in a small envelope design. These types of bearings are single row ball bearings available in up to 1 1/8" outer diameter (OD) sizes
Needle roller bearings are designed for radial load applications where a low profile is desired.
Oil seals and grease seals have a flexible lip that rubs against a shaft or housing to prevent the leakage or ingress of fluids and dirt.
Pillow block bearings are mounted bearings that are used to provide load support for a rotating shaft’s axis. 
Plastic bearings are used in wet and corrosive environments, clean environments, areas that are difficult to lubricate, and applications that require non-magnetic bearings.
Radial or deep groove bearings can handle radial and axial loads to varying degrees, but are typically used when the primary load is in the radial direction.
Resins and compounds are pellets, liquid resins, bulk molding compounds, or other unfinished materials that are ready for shape fabrication or bond formation.
Retaining rings and snap rings are fasteners used to axially position a component on a shaft or in a bore.
Rod end bearings contain a bearing that can accommodate a shaft or rod with varying misalignment. They attach to a static rod via a threaded shaft.
Roller bearings are used in rotary applications to replace sliding movement with low friction, rolling motion. The principal types of roller bearings are cylindrical, spherical, and tapered.
Roller chains are used in many power transmission designs. They are characterized by ANSI and BS/DIN standard sizes.
Specialty rotary bearings are specialized or proprietary rotary products and accessories related to roller bearings.
Spherical plain bearings accommodate wide-ranging angular misalignment with a ball-and-socket type design. They are frequently used in linkages and control rod applications.
Super precision and spindle bearings are high-precision bearings that are designed for use in machine-tool spindles and other precision applications. Most super precision bearings and spindle bearings carry a high quality-rating such as ABEC-7 or ABEC-9, and run coolly and smoothly at high speeds.
Tapered roller bearings consist of an inner ring (cone), an outer ring (cup), a cage and rollers, which are profiled to distribute the load evenly across the roller.
Thin-section bearings have small cross-sections with respect to their diameter.
Thrust bearings are designed for pure thrust loads, and can handle little or no radial load. The rolling element in a thrust bearing can be a ball, needle or roller.
Timing belts are transmission drive belts with teeth for efficient, high-power synchronous drives. English or imperial pitch is the distance between belt teeth based on inches.
Timing belts are transmission drive belts with teeth for efficient, high-power synchronous drives. Metric pitch is the distance between belt teeth based on millimeters.
Timing pulleys mesh with same-pitch timing belts on synchronous drives where maintenance of speed ratio is important. English or imperial pitch pulleys have an inch-based pitch designation.
Timing pulleys mesh with same-pitch timing belts on synchronous drives where maintenance of speed ratio is important. Metric pitch pulleys have a millimeter-based pitch designation.
V-belt pulleys or sheaves mate with drive belts in numerous power transmission applications. They are made in many configurations such as tension idlers and variable speed / ratio pulleys.
V-belts are power transmission drive belts with a triangular or trapezoidal cross section. They are available in a variety of belt materials, reinforcement styles, and speed configurations.
V-ribbed belts resemble flat belts, but have a series of V-shaped ribs on the drive surface which run the full length of the belt.
