The most typical type of bearing, these are used in a wide range of fields. They include grease-enclosed sealed and shield bearings for ease of use.

Other types include bearings with a locating snap-ring to facilitate positioning when mounting the outer ring, expansion compensating bearings that absorb variations in bearing fitting surface dimensions due to housing temperature, and TAB bearings that are resistant to contamination in lubricating oil.

In these ball bearings, the direct line that connects the inner ring, balls, and outer ring has a given angle in the radial direction (the contact angle).

This angle is generally designed with three kinds of contact angle.

These bearings can bear axial loads, but because of the contact angle cannot be used singly and must be used in pairs or combinations.

These are angular contact ball bearings with the inner ring divided into two. When the outer ring and inner ring are pushed in the radial direction, the balls make contact with the inner ring and outer ring at four points. One bearing is able to bear an axial load from both directions, and can be used in a two-point contact state under a general pure axial load or under a composite load with large axial load.

NTN uses the same steel balls and cage as used in the 62.63 deep groove ball bearing series. In addition, the units feature a double seal that combines oil-resistant synthetic rubber seals on both sides and NTN's unique slinger (also called flinger).

The products include those with a wide inner ring that is tightened to the shaft with screws having mounting balls at two locations, and those that have a tapered bore caliber surface and are mounted on the shaft using an adapter. There are also products using the off-center collar method in which the inner ring is fixed on the shaft by means of an off-center groove on the inner groove and an off-center groove on the collar, and those in which the inner ring is mounted on the shaft through interference between the inner ring and shaft, as in the deep groove ball bearing products.

These use rollers as the rolling elements and have a high load capacity. The rollers are guided by the ribs of the inner or outer ring. The inner and outer rings can be separated to facilitate assembly, and both can be fitted tightly.

On types with no ribs, either the inner or the outer ring can move freely in the axial direction, making cylindrical roller bearings ideal for use in free side bearings that absorb shaft expansion.

On types with ribs, the bearing can bear a slight axial load between the roller end surfaces and the ribs. Cylindrical roller bearings include the HT type that modifies the shape of roller end surfaces and ribs to increase axial load capacity, and the E type that has a special internal design to increase radial load capacity. The E type is standard for small-diameter sizes.

These bearings use small needle rollers, 6mm or less in diameter with a width 3 to 10 times diameter, as rolling elements. As such, they feature low cross-section height, high load capacity relative to dimensions, and high rigidity due to the number of elements, and are suited to wobbling or pivoting motion.

The bearing box is made of ductile spheroidal graphite cast iron resulting in improved breaking strength compared to gray cast iron. Dimensions are designed to be as compact as possible, making it suitable for applications with limited space and weight.

Rolled steel housing for general structures are processed by precision gas cut, ensuring higher rigidity compared to general cast steel. Suitable for parts where safety is a concern or with high vibration or impact due to excellent load capacity and impact resistance.

Units combining a stainless steel housing and a stainless steel ball bearing with improved corrosion resistance over general cast iron units. Heat-solidifying grease (polylube) in the ball bearing provides a clean environment and lower rotation torque.

Units combining a resin bearing housing and a stainless steel ball bearing resulting in excellent corrosion resistance compared to cast iron units. Heat-solidifying grease (polylube) in the ball bearing provides a clean environment and lower rotation torque.

Contain a triple-lipped bearing seal, resulting in excellent dustproof and waterproof performance compared to standard bearings. A longer service life is ensured even when exposed to dust and splashes of foul water.

Bearings made of resin material for slippery surfaces or axes. Can be adopted for a wide range of fields and machine components due to light weight, lower cost, and versatility compared to metal. Generate less vibration and noise and have a lower slip friction coefficient due to light weight. Excellent plastic workability and electrical insulation when heated, water-resistant.

Components used to transmit rotational motion so both axes rotate at a constant velocity regardless of the angle between the input and output shaft, and torque is transmitted smoothly (bearings used here).

Devices that automatically align a wide variety of components such as machine parts, electronic parts, plastic parts, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food products, or miscellaneous goods and feeds them through a chute to an automated machine etc.

Parts feeder are simple devices consisting of leaf springs, electromagnets, vibratory vessels, and various other parts, but are critical for aligning and feeding processes in diversified production technologies. They must be increasingly faster and more reliable.
