Most people know what a bearing is, but fewer recognize a bushing. In this piece, we’ll compare bearings and bushings and point out the differences between the two types of components.
(read more)These bearings can be used in a wide variety of applications. They have grooved raceways on the inner and outer rings allowing them to sustain moderate radial and axial loads in both directions. They are well suited to high speed applications and can maintain their precision tolerance during high speed operation.

Does Quality Matter in Bearings?
We hear about quality every day, but what does it mean? What’s the point in having the newest and shiniest products available? The best coffee maker might brew the smoothest Colombian Supremo, but will it change our lives? Probably not. Bearings are another story.
Most people know what a bearing is, but fewer recognize a bushing.
(read more)Deep groove bearings have race dimensions that are similar to their ball dimensions. These bearings can be used in a wide variety of applications. They have grooved raceways on the inner and outer rings allowing them to sustain moderate radial and axial loads in both directions.
(read more)The construction of these bearings enables them to carry moderate radial and thrust loads at low operating torque while providing high performance within a small envelope design. Miniature and instrument bearings are available in stainless steel for those applications requiring corrosion resistance and chrome for maximum fatigue life.
(read more)Deep groove ball bearings are used in a particularly wide variety of applications. A deep groove bearing is one in which the race dimensions are close to the dimensions of the balls that run in it. We offer same day shipping on most items.
(read more)Machine tool bearings are precision angular contact bearings, non-separable with outer rings relieved and available with 15° or 25° contact angles. For critical applications these bearings are stocked as universally ground duplex pairs with standard preloads and as single row bearings.
