Ball bearing products from Antifriction
Each type of ball bearing design supports a different combination of load, speed and alignment requirements. Review the product types below to narrow your selection and continue to the relevant range.
Angular Contact Ball Bearings
Angular contact ball bearings support combined radial and axial loads. Their contact angle and arrangement affect the loads they can carry, making correct selection important for applications such as machine tool spindles and pumps.
Deep Groove Ball Bearings
Deep groove ball bearings are widely used across industrial machinery. They can operate at high speeds and support radial loads alongside limited axial loads, making them a practical option for motors, gearboxes and general equipment.
Self-Aligning Ball Bearings
Self-aligning ball bearings can accommodate minor misalignment between the shaft and housing. This can make them suitable where shaft deflection or mounting conditions could affect bearing performance, although correct installation remains essential.
Thrust Ball Bearings
Thrust ball bearings are designed to support axial loads. Single-direction and double-direction versions are available for different shaft arrangements. As they are not intended for radial loads, the application requirements should be checked carefully before selection.
Y-Bearings
Y-bearings are insert bearings designed for straightforward mounting within suitable housings. They are commonly used in conveyors and other industrial equipment where practical installation and dependable operation are important.
