What are ball bearings?
Ball bearings consist of a series of round balls in a casing, within an inner and outer ring capable of supporting both radial and axial (thrust) loads. Ball bearings come in both single and double row configurations, in both metric and inch sizes, and can be found in a large range of applications from door hinges to roller skates.

What are integral shaft ball bearings?
Integral shaft ball bearings are an excellent design tool that is used in everything from table saws to lawn tractors. Inner pathways are ground directly on a hardened steel shaft permitting use of a larger shaft for increased strength and rigidity. The two ball rows are spread apart providing increased stability and resistance to moment loading.
What are the advantages of a custom ball bearing?
Corrosion resistant to moisture and other media, these bearings are ideal for harsh environments such as food and beverage, marine and agricultural industries. Designed with filling slots to accommodate more balls, these bearings have a higher radial load carrying capacity than conventional bearings.
What are self-aligning ball bearings?
Bearings Direct supplies double row ball bearings that are open and with shielded or sealed closures. Self-Aligning Ball Bearings are double-row ball bearings that can adapt to both static and dynamic angular misalignment.
