Cross Section Sizes

Cross sections remain constant as the bore diameter increases.

Bearing Configurations

• Radial Contact - To support primarily radial loads and small axial loads
• Angular Contact - To support radial and axial loads and overturning loads when mounted as pairs
• Four Point Contact - To support radial, axial and overturning loads in one single bearing
