KNOW YOUR STARTING POINT

Explore bearing families

Illustrations are identification aids, not product drawings.

Ball bearings

Often found in motors, fans and rotating equipment. Identify the full designation, sealing arrangement and clearance.

Tapered roller bearings

Used where radial and axial loads occur together. Include the cone and cup markings; matched components matter.

Help me identify this family →

Spherical roller bearings

Used in demanding applications where alignment and load matter. Confirm bore type, clearance and lubrication features.

Help me identify this family →

Cylindrical roller bearings

Configurations differ in axial guidance and separability. Prefixes such as NU, NJ and N are important to the specification.

Help me identify this family →

Needle roller bearings

Compact roller arrangements. Check whether the assembly includes an inner ring and how the shaft acts as a raceway.

Units & housings

Identify the insert and housing separately. Shaft size, locking method, mounting centres and housing style all matter.

GIVE US THE DETAILS THAT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

Three checks before requesting a quote

01 · Capture the markings

Copy the whole code, including spaces, suffixes and brand. Seal and shield codes, clearance marks and manufacturer conventions vary: don’t remove letters you’re unsure about.

02 · Measure carefully

Record inside diameter × outside diameter × width in millimetres. Include housing or shaft details where relevant. Dimensions alone cannot confirm an interchangeable replacement.

03 · Explain the application

Tell us the machine, load, speed, heat, moisture and previous failure symptoms, then add quantity, delivery town and required date.
