|---|---|
| Angular contact bearings (as shown in Figure 7) are best suited for applications with single direction, thrust load. When thrust load reverses, angular contact bearing will separate. Therefore, for applications... | |
| For application requiring extra load carrying capacity, NPB offers heavy duty spherical plain bearings. With the same bore diameter options as our standard series, the heavy duty series has larger... | |
| For applications requiring additional axial space, NPB offers extended inner ring spherical plain bearings (as shown in Figure 5). This type of bearing eliminates the need for an extra spacer... | |
| National Precision Bearing offers sealed spherical plain bearings to minimize the ingress of contaminants on to the bearing rotating surface and to help keep lubricant within the bearing (as shown... | |
| Rod End Bearings offered as self-lubricating with TFE liners for reduced friction. Also can be supplied as metal to metal types. They are recommended for applications requiring considerable oscillation and... | |
| Self-Lubricating bearings (as shown in Figure 6) do not require grease or oil for lubrication. Instead, they utilize a liner system bonded to the inside diameter of the outer ring. | |
| Spherical plain bearings are designed to provide rotational motion in omni-direction. There are primarily two types of spherical plain bearings, radial and angular contact. Spherical plain radial bearings offer high... | |
| The unique two piece design of the slotted-entry bearing features a ball (inner ring) which has a spherical race to accommodate misalignment. The outer ring/rod end has an entry window... |
