IntroductionSelection Guide Engineering DataBrochure
Nice Ball Bearings, Inc. produces a full line of ground, semi-ground,
and unground bearing assemblies. To choose the exact bearing you need,
start with the Nice line of standard inch-dimension,radial, angular
contact and thrust ball bearings. Standard series bearings can be customized
to include many features that can satisfy the demands of many special
applications. They are available with special bores, modified outer
ring shapes ,extended inner rings, locking devices, and flanged housings.
Standards can be ordered sealed, shielded, or open,and are offered in
ground and semi-ground grades to deliver the most cost effective solution
for your application.
If you are now designing with only ABEC-1 level or higher bearings,
chances are there may be a more economical solution to your application.
A Nice application engineer can help you determine the exact precision
your design requires,and show you how to take advantage of the savings,
selection and special features available in our standard series. Even
when a standard isn't the answer, our engineers can deliver an economical,modified
standard design that is "fit for purpose."

Design
Three basic ball
bearing types are illustrated to assist in proper design selection.
 |
Radial
bearings are designed prima-rily to carry loads perpendicular to the
axis of the bearing bore. They will also accommodate limited thrust
loading or a combination radial and thrust load. |
 |
Thrust
bearings carry loads applied parallel to the axis of the bearing bore.
They are not designed to ac-commodate radial loads |
 |
Combination
radial and thrust bearings are designed for simultaneously applied thrust
and radial loads. Combination assemblies will also carry pure thrust
loading; however, they are not recommended for straight radial loads
unless provisions are made to keep the inner rings and outer rings in
proper contact with the balls. |
Many sizes and
types of the three basic designs illustrated are available for selection
from this catalog. However,if you have an unusual application problem,NICE
field and factory engineers will be glad to give you the benefit of
their specialized training and broad practical experience.
