Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of an adapter sleeve?
Adapter sleeves allow standard bearings to be fitted onto stepped shafts without machining changes.

What is the difference between lock nuts and locking washers?
Lock nuts position the bearing axially, while locking washers prevent rotation of the lock nut under vibration.

Do thrust bearings handle radial loads?
Thrust ball bearings mainly support axial loads — use four point bearings when you need combined loading.

Do you supply imperial shaft accessories?
Yes — metric and imperial dimensions are available to suit modern and legacy machinery.
