PIC Design has recently added several new bearing products to its already extensive offerings. What’s more, PIC has expanded the coverage available from its existing products. The new lines, including Spherical Bearings, Rod Ends, and Tapered Outside Diameter Ball Bearings complement the expanded ABEC and equivalent ISO Ball Bearings. PIC Design ball bearings are available in inch and metric sizes.

PIC offers bearings in the Linear Motion System Components section in addition to those included here.

PIC Design Bearings — a brief overview.

BALL BEARINGS:
PIC offers a comprehensive and varied line of ball bearings. Engineers and designers can precisely select bearings for specific applications. The ABEC rating of a bearing is determined by radial runout and tolerancing:

ABEC-7 Precision Bearings used in instrument applications, disk drives and applications with low noise requirements.

ABEC-3 Semi-Precision Bearings are used in applications such as office equipment and computer print heads.

ABEC-1 Commercial Bearings are used in applications such as gear trains, chain drive systems, and other applications requiring long service life and good load carrying capabilities, but not necessarily high degrees of precision.

Tapered Outside Diameter Precision Bearings eliminate mounting problems in sheet metal or soft metal housings.

Metric Precision Bearings available in standard and extra-small series for use with metric shafts and housings.

Extra Thin section bearings save space and are appropriate for aerospace applications and anywhere a need for reduced weight, or critical mounting surface mass exists.

EXTENDED INNER RING BEARINGS:
Used to provide a mounting clearance between the inner and outer race.

THRUST BEARINGS:
Designed for low speed and high thrust application. Available in carbon steel and stainless steel materials.

NON-METALLIC BEARINGS:
PIC offers a line of non-corrosive ball bearings which are particularly desirable for use in chemical or magnetic environments.

SPHERICAL BEARINGS:
Designed for use in applications where high loads are present and compensation for angular misalignment is required.

ROD ENDS:
Used as connecting links in many applications, with allowance for angular misalignment.

SINTERED BRONZE BEARINGS:
PIC offers a line of self-lubricating, oil impregnated bronze bearings which are particularly desirable for maintenance free applications.

Precision Bearings: Direct replacement for ball bearings.

Sleeve and Flanged: For inexpensive low speed systems. Available in inch and metric sizes.

ENGINEERED PLASTIC BEARINGS:
Similar to sleeve and flanged bronze bearings, but made of custom blended material for ease of maintenance and lube-free performance.
