Bearings
Bearings support rotating or sliding shafts with low friction, including ball bearings, roller bearings, plain bearings, bearing units (pillow blocks), linear bearings and thrust bearings. We supply standard branded or equivalent bearings along with housings and custom plain bearings.
What it is
Rolling bearings (deep groove ball, angular contact, taper roller, spherical roller, needle) are selected by load, speed and alignment; they are identified by standard designations like 6205-2RS. Plain bearings (bushes) suit oscillating or heavy low-speed loads.
We source bearings to your designation or brand preference, and machine shafts and housings to the correct fits.
Typical applications
- Motors, pumps and gearboxes
- Conveyor rollers and idlers
- Machine spindles
- Agricultural equipment
- Linear motion systems
Materials & grades
- Chrome steel (52100 / EN31)
- Stainless steel bearings
- Plain bearings (bronze, polymer)
- Housings (cast iron, pressed steel)
Points to consider
- Provide the full bearing number including suffixes (seals, clearance).
- Shaft and housing fits (e.g. k5/H7) matter for bearing life.
- Specify brand if equivalents aren't acceptable.
- Sealed bearings suit dirty environments.
Frequently asked questions
What does 6205-2RS mean?
A deep groove ball bearing, series 62, 25 mm bore (05 × 5), with rubber seals on both sides (2RS).
Can you supply bearings with shafts and housings?
Yes. Bearings can be supplied with machined shafts and housings to the correct fits.
What does C3 mean on a bearing?
Greater-than-normal internal clearance, used where the bearing runs hot or has tight fits.
