Insert Bearings are basically modified deep groove ball bearings that fit into cast iron cast stainless steel, pressed metal and plastic housings, of numerous styles and sizes. These assemblies can offer simple, economic solutions to product design, with characteristics varying from compact size and simple locking arrangements, to alignment compensation and corrosion resistance.
These many special characteristics result in their widespread use in agricultural machinery, construction equipment, conveyor systems, textile machines and fans.
