Options can have a major impact on which manufacturer you work with, which is exactly why Ritbearing can offer you a wide variety of high-quality options.
One potential product is the integral shaft bearing, a special design that may be a better fit for your company’s needs. What makes them different? Read on to find out.
WHAT MAKES AN INTEGRAL SHAFT BEARING?
Unlike many other bearings, integral shaft bearings do not have an inner ring and instead work off of an inner race that is machined directly into the internal shaft. So what exactly makes up an integrated shaft bearing? Product specifications include:
• Chrome or stainless steel spindle shaft
• Thorough hardened chrome steel for outer race
• Chrome steel balls
• Steel or nylon cage designs available
• Steel shields closures as well as synthetic rubber, metal encased rubber, and metal encased labyrinth seals
• Soft shaft and engineered specials available
INTEGRAL SHAFT BEARING FEATURES
Due to their design, integral shaft bearings are very compact, allowing for either two rows of balls or a row of balls and a row of rollers. Our bearings are pre-packed with lubricant to ensure a long lifespan and are sealed to resist contamination.
If you need some more flexibility when it comes to integral shaft bearings, outer race and shaft diameter variations are available, as are shaft extension modifications. It’s this flexibility that allows integral shaft bearings to be used in a number of applications, including those in the automotive, agricultural, and landscaping industries.
