Comprehensive Guide to Industrial Bearings.

For over two decades, IAO Industries has been a trusted name in the industrial components market, recognizing the pivotal role of high-performance bearings in various applications. We specialize in providing bearings that offer superior durability, performance, and reliability, ensuring cost savings for our clients.

Comprehensive Bearing Solutions.

Bearings are essential components in machinery, designed to reduce friction between moving parts while supporting radial and axial loads. Understanding the different types of bearings can help industries select the right solution for their specific applications. Below is a detailed explanation of the various types of bearings we offer:

Radial
BEARINGS

Radial bearings, also known as deep groove ball bearings, are the most common type of bearing. These bearings are ideal for handling both radial and axial loads, making them suitable for high-speed operations. Their design includes deep raceway grooves that allow them to withstand substantial loads while maintaining efficiency. Radial bearings are widely used in motors, gearboxes, and various machinery requiring smooth rotation with minimal resistance.

Cylindrical Thrust
BEARINGS

Cylindrical thrust bearings are primarily designed for carrying heavy axial loads. Available in single-row variations such as NU, N, NJ, NF, NP, and NUP types, these bearings are widely utilized in high-load applications, including gearboxes, heavy-duty machinery, and wind turbines. Their ability to handle significant axial forces makes them indispensable in industries that require robust and durable bearing solutions.

Self-Aligning
BEARINGS

Self-aligning bearings consist of double-row ball bearings with a spherical outer ring raceway. This unique design allows them to accommodate misalignments and shaft deflections without increasing friction or reducing bearing lifespan. They are available in open and sealed versions, making them suitable for applications in which shaft misalignment is expected, such as conveyor belts, pumps, and agricultural machinery.

Thin Section
BEARINGS

Thin section bearings are lightweight, compact bearings manufactured with metal shields to provide protection against light mechanical damage. Their reduced cross-sectional size allows for space-saving designs while maintaining high precision and performance. These bearings are widely used in aerospace, robotics, medical devices, and semiconductor manufacturing, where minimizing weight and maximizing efficiency are crucial.

Angular Contact
BEARINGS

Angular contact bearings are designed to handle combined loads, where both radial and axial forces are present. These bearings feature raceways that are displaced relative to the bearing axis, enabling them to support higher axial loads in one direction. They are commonly used in applications that require precise motion control, such as robotics, machine tools, and automotive wheel hubs.

Pillow Block
BEARINGS

Pillow block bearings consist of a mounted housing with a fitted bearing, providing easy installation and maintenance. These bearings are typically used in cleaner environments and general industry applications where support for rotating shafts is necessary. The housing material can vary from cast iron to stainless steel, ensuring durability and resistance to wear. Pillow block bearings are commonly found in conveyor systems, agricultural equipment, and food processing machinery.
