Not sure which type fits your application? Each category below covers a different structural feature, material or performance grade — browse by what matters most for your project, or contact us if you're not sure where to start.
The most common bearing structure, with a single row of balls running in a deep raceway groove. Handles combined radial and axial loads efficiently — the default choice for motors, gearboxes and general machinery.
View Full Specs →Fitted with rubber contact seals or metal dust shields on both sides to keep grease in and contaminants out. Ideal for household appliances, power tools and any application exposed to dust or moisture.
View Full Specs →Made from stainless steel rings and balls to resist rust and corrosion in humid, wet or chemically aggressive environments — commonly used in food processing, marine equipment and medical devices.
View Full Specs →Our baseline production grade, made from chrome bearing steel to standard tolerance classes. Reliable, cost-effective and suitable for the majority of industrial and consumer applications.
View Full Specs →Built with heat-treated rings and high-temperature grease or lubrication to maintain performance in ovens, furnaces, drying equipment and other continuous high-heat operating environments.
View Full Specs →Featuring a groove machined into the outer ring to hold a snap ring in place, allowing quick axial positioning and retention within a housing — no extra shoulder or spacer needed. Commonly used in motors, gearboxes and equipment requiring easy assembly and disassembly.
View Full Specs →Precision-ground and dynamically balanced for smooth, quiet running at high RPM. Produced on our dedicated Z3V3 line, kept separate from standard production for consistent precision.

| If your situation is… | Choose | Why |
|---|---|---|
| General machinery, no special environment | Single Row / Standard | Reliable, cost-effective, covers most everyday applications without extra cost for features you don't need. |
| Exposed to dust, moisture or needs pre-packed grease | Sealed (2RS / ZZ / 2RZ) | Keeps contaminants out and grease in — ideal for appliances, power tools and outdoor equipment. |
| Wet, humid or chemically aggressive environment | Stainless Steel | Resists rust and corrosion where standard steel would fail — food, marine and medical use. |
| Continuous high-heat operation (ovens, furnaces, dryers) | High Temperature | Heat-treated rings and high-temp grease keep performance stable where standard grease would break down. |
| Needs quick axial locating without extra parts | Snap Ring Groove | Built-in groove holds a retaining ring in place — simpler assembly, no shoulder or spacer required. |
| High RPM, motors, spindles, noise-sensitive equipment | High Speed (Z3V3) | Precision-ground and balanced for smooth, quiet running at high speed — made on our dedicated Z3V3 line. |
