Ball bearings are used to provide smooth, low friction motion in rotary applications.

Super precision and spindle bearings are high-precision bearings that are designed for use in machine-tool spindles and other precision applications.

Thrust bearings are designed for pure thrust loads, and can handle little or no radial load.

Radial or deep groove bearings can handle radial and axial loads to varying degrees, but are typically used when the primary load is in the radial direction

Angular contact bearings are designed so that a contact angle between the races and the balls is formed when the bearing is in use

Bearing retainers or bearing cages are used in rotary and linear bearings to separate and maintain a specified distance between rolling elements, whether they are balls, needle rollers, or rollers

Miniature bearings and instrument bearings carry moderate radial and thrust loads at low operating torque while providing high performance in a small envelope design.
