Capabilities


	Capabilities
	Your choices are...
	Air Bearings		Air bearings use a thin film of pressurized air to support a load. They do not generate friction.
	Babbitt Bearings		Babbitt bearings are rotary bearings (no rolling elements) with special alloys poured into place in the bearing housing.
	Ball Bearings		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.
	Ceramic Bearings		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 include angular contact and conrad.
	Housed Bearings		Housed bearings are bearing assemblies consisting of a bearing and a housing. Housed bearing types include pillow block bearings, plummer block bearings, flange mounted bearings, takeup bearings, and hanger bearings.
	Hydrostatic and Hydrodynamic Bearings		Hydrostatic bearings and hydrodynamic bearings are fluid film bearings that rely on a film of oil or air to create a clearance between the moving and stationary elements.
	Linear Bearings		Linear bearings are used in applications where a component needs to be moved along a straight line with high accuracy.
	Magnetic Bearings		Magnetic bearings use an electromagnet to provide noncontacting, friction-free motion in rotary applications.
	Plain Bearings and Sleeve Bearings		Plain bearings and sleeve bearings (also referred to as bushings or journal bearings) are used to constrain, guide or reduce friction in rotary or linear applications. They function via a sliding action.
	Roller Bearings		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.
	Slewing Rings and Turntable Bearings		Slewing rings and turntable bearings can accommodate axial, radial, and moment loads. They are not mounted in a housing or on a shaft, but are instead mounted directly to a seating surface via mounting holes.
	Super Precision and Spindle Bearings		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.
	Thin-section Bearings		Thin-section bearings have small cross-sections with respect to their diameter.
	Thrust Bearings		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.

	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.

	Large Bearings		Large bearings typically have a diameter greater than 250mm (10") are typically for heavy load applications. Due to their size and cost, it can be significantly more economical to remanufacture large bearings than replace them with new bearings.
	Search Logic:		"Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.

Services


	Services
	Your choices are...
	Bench (Off-site)		Bench repair refers to off-site equipment or instrument repair in the service supplier's shop. The test equipment or instruments need to be disconnected and transported to, or picked up by, the repair shop.
	Field (On-site)		Supplier has personnel and/or equipment for on-site repair work, eliminating the added expense of taking the instrument off line and shipping it.
	OEM / Warranty Authorized Shop		Supplier has personnel and/or equipment that are certified or approved for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or warranty repair work.
	Pick-up and Delivery		Supplier offers pick-up and delivery services to minimize cost and time associated with using in-house personnel.
	Preventative Maintenance / Service Contracts		Preventative maintenance and services contracts refer to programs for performing proactive maintenance in order to prevent system problems. This is contrasted to troubleshooting, diagnostic or corrective maintenance, which is performed to correct an already existing problem.
	Rapid Turnaround		Supplier offers quick turnaround on repair services, typically in a few days.
	Component Remanufacturing / Rebuild		Supplier has personnel and/or equipment for to completely overhaul or rebuild components, which may be an effective alternative for costly or specialized units.
	Replacement / Exchange Program		Supplier has capabilities and resources for exchanging the damaged equipment or instrument with a new or used unit, which can minimize any downtime in the facility or eliminate the need to ship and outsource work.
	Spare Parts Inventory		Supplier expedites repairs by carrying an inventory of spare replacement parts or sub-systems in-house, eliminating the added time that ordering and shipping parts would require.
	Troubleshooting		Troubleshooting refers to diagnostic or corrective maintenance, which is performed to correct an already-existing problem. This is contrasted to preventive maintenance, which refers to performing proactive maintenance in order to prevent system problems.
	Specialty / Other		Other unlisted, specialty, or proprietary service.
	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.
