Stainless Steel Ball Bearings
Bearings are 440C stainless steel for good corrosion resistance.
Shielded bearings block out dust and other contaminants, but do not dissipate heat as efficiently as open bearings.

Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

Startup friction causes these bearings to release a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface. They are also known as Oilite® bearings.
Note: Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load a bearing can withstand at a given shaft speed. If your application’s load and speed requirements are below the values listed, the bearing will work.

High-Load Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

Increased iron content makes these bearings stronger and more resistant to shock loads than standard oil-embedded bearings; however they operate at lower speeds. Startup friction causes them to release a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface. Color is silver because of the iron. These bearings are also magnetic due to the high iron content.
863 iron-copper bearings are also known as Super Oilite® bearings.
Note: Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load a bearing can withstand at a given shaft speed. If your application’s load and speed requirements are below the values listed, the bearing will work.

Ultra-Low-Friction Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

For applications with frequent starts and stops, the oil in these bearings contains particles of slippery PTFE that lubricate the bearing during startup.

High-Load Ultra-Low-Friction Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

With extra iron and filled with oil containing slippery PTFE, these bearings support heavy loads that frequently start and stop along shafts. Startup friction causes a thin layer of oil to release onto the surface. Their high iron content also means they resist failing if their load suddenly and drastically increases, but they won’t run as fast as standard bearings.
Note: Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load a bearing can withstand at a given shaft speed. If your application’s load and speed requirements are below the values listed, the bearing will work.

Oil-Embedded Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Startup friction causes these bearings to release a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface. They’re flanged, so they handle loads both parallel and perpendicular to the shaft. They’re also known as Oilite® bearings.
Note: Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load a bearing can withstand at a given shaft speed. If your application’s load and speed requirements are below the values listed, the bearing will work.

Food Industry Oil-Embedded Flanged Sleeve Bearings

The oil in these bearings is suitable for incidental contact with food. Startup friction produces a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface. All are FDA Compliant, so they're safe for use in food applications.

Metric Fast-Travel Ultra-Precision Lead Screws and Nuts
Multiple thread channels (also known as thread starts) create faster linear travel than lead screws with a single thread start. Operating with less backlash (play) than Metric Precision Acme Lead Screws and Nuts, these lead screws and nuts provide increased nut life and more reliable movement in automated systems. To ensure compatibility, select components that have the same thread size, thread pitch, and number of thread starts.
Lead screws with one coupling end connect directly with your shaft without extra machining. Torque down the locknut once inserted.
Travel distance per turn, also known as screw lead, is the distance a nut moves with one revolution of the lead screw.

Metric Ultra-Precision Lead Screws and Nuts

Operating with less backlash (play) than Metric Precision Acme Lead Screws and Nuts, these provide increased nut life and more reliable movement in automated systems. Also known as single-start and self-locking lead screws and nuts, they have a single thread that runs the length of the screw. The nut travels only when the screw turns, so your system won't unexpectedly move when the lead screw is at rest. To ensure compatibility, select components that have the same thread size, thread type, thread size, thread pitch, and number of thread starts.
