World biggest Industrial Bearings Interchange System is Launched

Bearing Data is the most comprehensive and reliable database of industrial bearings interchange and aims to become a global reference.

More than 3 million bearing designations are available in Bearing Data’s database, providing roughly 200,000 interchange reports from more than 100 of the most important bearing manufacturers worldwide.

In using Bearing Data, you can find several alternative brands for your bearing applications, coupled with a detailed explanation of prefixes and suffixes for all bearing designations, as well as cage material.

You can conduct searches by simply entering the bearing designation you wish to find cross-references for, and then receive a clean, precise report. It is also possible to print and save reports. You can also use the report for a quotation request, purchase request or even for detailed inventory control.

This product is the result of eight years of research on the part of engineering professionals with experience in many application fields who made this database project possible.

At Bearing Data, you’ll find standard bearings as well as bearings specifically designed for special applications. In terms of special applications, you can find bearings for high temperatures, electrically insulated bearings, bearings with special coatings, sealed bearings, ceramic bearings, corrosion-resistant bearings, split bearings, precision bearings, energy efficient bearings, special and large size bearings for the steel, paper and mining industries.

Benefits of the Interchange System

 Bearing Data’s Interchange Reports match different manufacturer part numbers you may have in stock, thus reducing duplicate inventory, eliminating unnecessary purchase expenses, delivery waiting time and avoiding unplanned downtime.

Bearing Basket

 Another Bearing Data feature is the Bearing Basket, which is a very simple tool that helps you find the bearing you need.

How does it work? Quite simple. Enter the data regarding the bearing you’re looking for (designation, quantity) and the part number will be uploaded into the Bearing Basket, which is a list of bearings on demand. The distributor with the respective bearing in inventory will send a quotation directly to your email.

You may find more information about this tool on Bearing Data’s homepage.

In just a few seconds, you’ll have all possible alternatives and can select best-fit based on the detailed specifications provided in our reports, as well as even optimize design cost. Finding options from alternative brands is another advantage of the system.

Easy to use

By entering information about a bearing (bearing designation, dimensions, clearance, tolerance, preload and manufacturer), Bearing Data will generate a detailed report for your search. You can also do searches by looking for a specific bearing type or for a specific bearing application. At Bearing Data, you will find more than 600 bearing types in order to obtain the best option for your particular application.

Design and Characteristics of Ball and Roller Bearings

SINGLE ROW DEEP GROOVE RADIAL BALL BEARINGS  are the most widely used bearings and utilize an uninterrupted raceway, which makes these bearings suitable for radial loads, or a combination of radial and thrust loads.  This design permits precision tolerances even sat high speed operation.

The cage in this bearing is pressed steel.  For high speed bearings, machined brass cages are available.  Bearings with locating snap rings are also available.

PRELUBRICATED BEARINGS have integral seal, or shields, which are packed with long-life grease.  In many applications, these bearings may be used without supplementary seals, closures, or protective devices.  This design offers the lowest possible manufacturing cost to the consumer.

The boundary dimension of this type is the same as the corresponding bearings without the seals or shields.

SHIELDED BALL BEARINGS incorporate securely fastened, steel reinforced, rubber seals, fastened to a groove on the outer ring.  Contact with the inner ring is by sealing lip (Contact suffix LLU). Or, non-contact with the inner ring is by labyrinth seal (non-contact suffix LLB) to provide positive sealing at all times.

SINGLE ROW ANGULAR CONTACT BALL BEARINGS  feature raceways with high and low shoulders.  These opposing raceways are designed to carry thrust load in one direction.

These bearings may be preloaded at the factory so that the correct preload will develop within the bearing.

The bearings in this series are assembled with a specific internal clearance so that they will have a specified contact angle under stress load.  The standard contact load used by NTN is 30⁰; bearings made to 40⁰contact angle carry the suffix B.

For high speed grinding spindles the 7000C, 7200C and the 7300C series are available.  They are high accuracy bearings with a 15⁰ contact angle, and phenolic resin cages for high speed operations.

DOUBLE ROW ANGULAR CONTACT BALL BEARINGS have an inner and outer ring with a double raceway.  The two rows are so related that the contact angle is similar to a pair of back-to-back single row bearings.  The 5200 and 5300 series offer continuous races, and can carry thrust loads in either direction.  Since the 3200 and 3300 series have filling slots, it is necessary to mount them with the thrust load acting against the un-notched face of the rings.

Special Bearing Solutions for Demanding Applications

special bearings for demanding applications such as mechanical and electrical drive systems, pumps and compressors as well as agricultural machinery.A new development engineering department where special bearing solutions are being developed in close cooperation with the customers.

Bearings to meet extremely demanding specifications

Bearings are highly important components and must meet extremely demanding specifications. For applications such as agricultural machines, mechanical and electrical drive systems, pumps and compressors, but also rail vehicles and wind power plants, MBP offers bearing types such as cylindrical roller bearings, spherical and taper roller bearings, angular contact bearings, deep groove ball bearings, water Pump bearings as well as custom-made special bearings. All bearings are subject to stringent quality requirements and are tested using modern inspection and measurement procedures.

Customers' contribute

Special bearings are developed in close cooperation with the customers. They profit from the new development engineering department ‘Advanced Engineering’, where new technological approaches from research and development and practical experience from application engineering are united. The department was recently created in the framework of cooperation with Ball Bearings, a  bearing manufacturer specialised in the automotive sector. ‘Advanced Engineering’ operates for the whole group which now comprises production sites, distribution centres and research and development locations. In addition to product development and application engineering,offers customers comprehensive services including technical calculations, support in obtaining certifications, and training courses.
