Product3Special Environment Ball Bearings

Bearings for use in special environments such as clean, vacuum, high-temperature and corrosive environments, are required to have special properties, such as non-magnetic, insulating and high-speed.
For this reason, regular bearings made from bearing steel and lubricant such as oil and grease cannot be used.
JTEKT's special environment EXSEV (short for EXtreme Special EnVironment) series meets these requirements.
Stainless is the standard bearing material, however we offer an abundant variety of bearings to suit any given application.
Bearing varieties include corrosion-resistant stainless steel, ceramic, high-speed tool steel, as well as bearings which use solid lubricants such as high-molecular fluorine and molybdenum disulfide coatings, resin or soft metal.

Linear Motion Bearings

The linear motion ball bearings are a high precision product that moves linearly in axial directions while having rolling contact with the shaft. Having balls, retainer and shields housed in an external cylinder, this compact bearing moves linearly without limit to the stroke distance.

The Linear Way Bearing Units have a slide unit in which balls circulate, allowing the slide unit to move linearly on the track rail without limit. High precision linear motion can be obtained easily by fixing the slide unit and track rail with bolts.

The Cross Roller Way Bearing Unit is a linear motion bearing unit consisting of two raceway bases. Each base has one longitudinal plane cut into a V shape, which serves as the rolling surface. Two bases are in contact on each of the other's V-cut surface, and cylindrical rollers with a retainer are placed between the surfaces. Any pair of adjacent cylindrical rollers is directed at right angles to each other, thus enabling smooth and extremely accurate linear motion.
