We have been supplying ball, roller, and needle roller bearings to trade and industry since 1986. Here is a small selection of sizes we carry in stock. In addition to these, if you have any other bearing requirements for a project, or for replacement, please give us a call.
It helps to identify your requirements more precisely if you have the following information to hand:
- Type of bearing: ball, roller, needle roller, taper roller, spherical roller, self-aligning ball, thrust ball, thrust roller, combination ball & roller, etc.
- marks and numbers which are normally to be found somewhere on the bearings.
- Inside dia. (I.D.) x outside dia. (O.D.) x width (W). Bearing dimensions are normally presented in this format.
Most bearings, especially for industrial applications follow an internationally recognised bearing identification system. In some cases, the bearing will have a pre-fix, followed by a group of numbers, followed by a suffix. Some of the common pre-fix and suffixes are mentioned below:
| Prefix |
Suffix |
| S = Stainless Steel |
RS = Rubber Seal |
| F = Flanged |
2RS = 2 Rubber Seals |
| MR = Metric |
Z = Single Metal Shield |
| MF = Metric Flanged |
ZZ = 2 Metal Sheilds |
| R = Inch |
C3 or C4 = Greater than
standard clearance |
Except for "S", all bearings are made from ball bearing chrome steel. All "S" are stainless steel.
A small note about the Bearing Brands shown in the lists: Torrington & Fafnir are well known American brands. NACHI may be a less well known brand in the U.K.. However, they are a well established Japanese manufacturer of bearings, OEM suppliers to Toyota-Japan, MITSUBISHI Heavy Industry-Japan and U.K. based industrial machine tools manufacturer Yamazaki (MAZAK-JAPAN). Nachi also supply axle bearings for the high speed Bullet Train 'Shinkansen Nozomi'.
