| Bearing Type: | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
Ball Bearing Courtesy of Poly Hi Solidur - Power Transmission Products |
Rolling element is a ball. Ball bearings are used to provide smooth, low friction motion in rotary applications. Construction consists of an inner and outer ring, balls, and usually a cage or ball separator. | ||
| Needle Roller Bearing | Rolling element is a needle roller. Needle roller bearings are designed for radial load applications where a low profile is desired. | ||
Plain Bearing Courtesy of Poly Hi Solidur - Power Transmission Products |
Bushings / sleeve bearings, also called journal or plain bearings, are used to constrain, guide, or reduce friction in rotary or linear applications. They work by means of sliding action as opposed to the rolling action used by ball, roller and needle bearings. As in all bearings, proper lubrication is required to reduce wear and friction. Terms such as fluid film, self-lubricated, hydrostatic, and hydrodynamic are commonly designations for plain bearings. | ||
| Roller Bearing | Rolling element is a roller. Roller bearings are used to provide smooth, low friction motion in rotary applications. Construction consists of an inner and outer ring, rollers, and usually a cage or roller separator. The principal types of roller bearings are cylindrical, spherical, and tapered. The most common type of flange mounted roller bearing is a spherical roller bearing, which is a self-aligning, double row, combination radial and thrust bearing. | ||

Most 3-bolt flanged bearings have a circular mounting flange with three, equally spaced mounting holes. Other hole configurations, such as an offset pattern, are also available. | ||
4-Bolt Courtesy of GlobalSpec, Inc. |
4-bolt flanged bearings have a square or round mounting flange with four mounting holes. | ||

| Bearing / Housing Features | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Offset Hole Pattern | Hole pattern is offset from the bearing centerline, as opposed to radially symmetrical around the axis of the bearing. | ||
| Spherical / Self-aligning | Bearing is a spherical plain, spherical roller, or a self-aligning ball bearing. These bearings allow for minor shaft / bearing misalignments. | ||
| Split Bearing | Bearing housing and/or bearing is split into two pieces and bolted together. | ||

| Cast Iron | The term "cast iron" refers not to a single material, but to a family of materials whose major constituent is iron, with important trace amounts of carbon and silicon. Cast irons are natural composite materials whose properties are determined by their microstructures - the stable and metastable phases formed during solidification or subsequent heat treatment. The major microstructural constituents of cast irons are: the chemical and morphological forms taken by carbon, and the continuous metal matrix in which the carbon and/or carbide are dispersed. | ||
Plastic Courtesy of Poly Hi Solidur - Power Transmission Products |
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. Common plastic materials include Acetal, Nylon / Polyamide and PTFE / Teflon. Nylon Nylon, comprising several grades of polyamides, is a general-purpose material in wide use; it is tough and resistant and has good pressure ratings. PTFE PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is an insoluble compound that exhibits a high degree of chemical resistance and a low coefficient of friction. It is sometimes marketed in proprietary classes of materials such as Teflon®, a registered trademark of DuPont Dow Elastomers. Acetal Acetal polymers are semi-crystalline. They offer excellent inherent lubricity, fatigue resistance, and chemical resistance. Acetals suffer from outgassing problems at elevated temperatures, and are brittle at low temperatures. Glass filled, and added lubrication grades are available, flame-retardant grades are not. Brand names include Celcon® (Hoechst Celanese), Delrin® (Dupont), Thermocomp® (LNP), Ultraform® (BASF), and Acetron® (DSM Polymers). | ||
Pressed Steel Courtesy of Poly Hi Solidur - Power Transmission Products |
The bearing is made of pressed steel, a low carbon steel, which has been pressed rather than machined. | ||
| Stainless Steel | Stainless steel is chemical and corrosion resistant and can have relatively high-pressure ratings. | ||
| Other | Unlisted, unspecified, or proprietary material. | ||

Steel Courtesy of Poly Hi Solidur - Power Transmission Products |
A commercial iron that contains carbon in any amount up to about 1.7 percent as an essential alloying constituent. It is malleable when under suitable conditions, and is distinguished from cast iron by its malleability and lower carbon content. Bearings are usually made of a high carbon steel, such as 52100. | ||
| Steel - Stainless | Stainless steel is chemical and corrosion resistant and can have relatively high pressure ratings. | ||
| Bronze - Sintered | Sintered bronze is a porous material that can be impregnated with oil, graphite or PTFE. Not suitable for heavily loaded applications but useful where lubrication is inconvenient. | ||
| Graphite - Metal Alloy | Bearing surface is an alloy manufactured from molten graphite and metal. This material is self-lubricating. | ||
