How Bearings Can be Useful?

A bearing is a component that constricts motion, thus reducing friction and handling any stress between moving parts. Bearings are used in a wide range of applications including: automobiles, airplanes, machine tools, DVD players, household appliances and more. Here are some commonly used bearings:

Sealed Precision Ball Bearings

• Recommended for maximum rolling ease
• Require no maintenance lubrication
• Quiet operation
• For medium to heavy duty loads
• Can be for radial and thrust loads

Annular Ball Bearings

• Provide full-length support across width of wheel
• Quiet operation
• For light to medium loads (up to 1200lbs per wheel)
• Side thrust load approx. 20% of radial capacity

Flanged Ball Bearings

• Unique design eliminates bearing and wheel seizing
• Constructed of hardened bearing quality steel
• Pre-greased

Caged Roller Bearing

• High radial capacity
• Long-wearing precision inner race
• Some do not require usage of spanner bushings

Roller Bearings

• Consist of a cage roller assembly and a split outer race
• High radial capacity
• Minimal side thrust load rating

Precision Tapered Roller Bearings

• Designed for heavy loads and high-speed operation
• Side thrust load rating of 60-90% radial capacity
• Two bearings needed per wheel

Delrin Bearings

• Durable in a wide range of temperature conditions
• Corrosion resistant – suitable in situations where liquids are present
• Light oil or lubrication recommended

Plastic Sleeve (Celcon) Bearings

• Made for environments not suitable for metal bearings
• Chemical and corrosion resistant – also suitable in situations where liquids are present
• Light oil or lubrication recommended
• Available in flanged or sleeve bearings

Oilite Bearings

• Inexpensive
• Highly efficient
• Press-fit to wheel bore
• Come with a “lifetime lubrication” under normal usage

Plain Bore

• Used for light loads
• Bore is directly on spanner bushing or caster axle, meaning ease of rolling is low
