What are Bearings?

A bearing is a mechanical component used in a wide range of industrial equipment. Its role is to ensure the rotation of mechanical shafts in bores. This part ensures low friction, enabling equipped installations to function properly. They transmit forces and movements, enabling them to guide components that must rotate in relation to one another.

The main types of Bearings

Ball Bearings

Ball Bearings rotate at high speeds, while reducing friction. They can handle radial loads, but not heavy axial loads. These components can be used in applications where space is limited, in high-speed or high-temperature environments.

Roller Bearings

Roller Bearings use a cylindrical roller, giving it greater resistance to radial loads than the ball Bearings. It has a larger surface area than the ball Bearings. This part is durable and robust.

Needle Roller Bearings

Needle Roller Bearings withstand high radial loads and can be integrated into small spaces. They have a reduced cross-sectional thickness. These elements deform little over time and tolerate pressure well. They tolerate high speeds.

Cam Followers

A Cam Follower is a Bearings that allows mechanical shafts to move smoothly. It follows the contours of the element rails. This part comprises a cylindrical body, a shaft and an outer covering. It tolerates both high axial and radial loads.

The Rubix Selection

Rubix offers you a wide choice of Bearings of all types. We offer you the opportunity to choose from many well-known brands, including INA, FAG, SKF, NSK, NTN, PTN, SNR and Timken.

What are their applications?

The parts have different applications, depending on their type. They are used in the industrial, agricultural or automotive sectors. Here are just a few possible applications:

agricultural machinery ;

automotive wheels and components ;

conveyors ;

forklift trucks;

handling systems ;

presses ;

cutting machines ;

machining centres ;

construction machinery ;

mining equipment ;

drilling equipment.

How to choose a Bearings?

It's important to observe several criteria when choosing a Bearings:

Type: ball, needle, roller...

Specific features: single- or double-row ball, angular contact, tapered, spherical or cylindrical roller Bearings...

Material: generally stainless steel (inox).

Dimensions: bore, outside diameter, width...

Bore shape.

Information on circlip grooves, lubrication holes....

Internal clearance

Presence or absence of integrated seals.

Technical data concerning equipment application.

How to maintain Bearings / extend its life?

It's important to lubricate and degrease parts regularly. In this way, your components will remain watertight and functional.

How long does a Bearing last?

Bearings life is expressed in revolutions. Most parts have a very high durability, averaging a million revolutions. Bearings life is also sometimes expressed in hours of operation.

Understanding Bearings nomenclature

Bearings nomenclature, or designation, is a classification system for choosing the right components. It consists of a prefix, a basic designation and a suffix. These elements designate the Bearings family and its inside diameter. The prefix and suffix specify additional features, such as sealing or lubrication.

All you need to know about Bearing Sealing

Components are sometimes fitted with seals. These parts prevent lubricant leakage, as well as water or dust infiltration into the component. Sealed components, such as 2RS Bearings, are therefore essential when equipping machines in harsh environments. There are different types of seals, such as O-rings, specially designed for automotive parts, industrial machines and plumbing machinery.
