Single-row IBC 40° angular contact ball bearings are available in the 70, 72 and 73 series and are suitable for high external loads due to their internal geometry. Axial forces, which can only be accommodated in one direction pressure the rolling elements between the high shoulders of the inner and outer rings when under load. Due to the contact angle, the radial forces likewise cause an axial force that must be taken into consideration in the design.

Single-row full complement cylindrical roller bearings are manufactured in NCF and NJG designs. Full complement cylindrical roller bearings are not sealed and are not lubricated with grease at the factory. Oil or grease lubrication can be applied via the front side during installation or during operation. Cylindrical roller bearings of the series NCF have an inner ring with two fixed flanges and an outer ring with a fixed flange that can axially guide the shaft in one direction.

The-cylindrical roller bearings series is exceptional due to its Extended Capacity and Advanced Application features. Optimization of the design, materials and production processes has resulted in a significant improvement in the lifetime and working life, functional safety, durability and running properties while at the same time reducing friction and heat generation. Furthermore, the products are characterised by higher dynamic load ratings.

Depending on the application, different bearing designs can be selected. Thus it is always necessary to take into consideration a number of different influencing factors such as the temperature, lubrication, speed, load-bearing capacity, moisture, vibration, installation geometry, maintenance, etc. Special bearings are used to meet exceptional requirements, making them especially suitable for certain bearing applications. Only high-performance and reliable rolling bearings with a long service life are able to ensure the functionality and operating reliability of these machines, systems and units, guaranteeing that they can operate trouble-free over long periods.

Spherical roller bearings are used if the bearings are required to withstand the heaviest loads. They have barrel-shaped rollers as rolling elements that are arranged in two rows next to one another. The inner ring has two separate raceways. Since both sets of rollers run in a common spherical outer ring raceway, shaft deflections and any misalignment of the bearing seats are compensated for.

Self-aligning ball bearings are double-row, self-retaining design with spherical outer ring raceways. The inner ring has two raceways that are similar to those of deep groove ball bearings. Self-aligning ball bearings can therefore be adjusted for angle and can compensate for any misalignment. They are designed for medium to high speeds and can accept small and medium axial loadings in both directions. Since they are produced with a cylindrical or tapered bore, they can be mounted to the shaft using adapter sleeves.

The shape of the rolling elements of tapered roller bearings resembles a truncated cone. At the large cone diameter the inner ring has a high, specially shaped flange that must also transfer a proportion of the axial forces. Together with the cage, the retaining flange at the small cone diameter prevents the rollers from falling out. The outer ring has no flange and is therefore easily removable for installation.

Single direction axial thrust bearings consist of two disks, a housing and a shaft disk with raceways and a cage to guide and retain the balls. They can only accept axial forces in one direction. No radial loading is permitted. They can be dismantled, allowing separate installation of the cage and the shaft and housing disks. As the balls try to run out of the raceways higher speeds and lower loads due centrifugal force, a minimum axial loading is required.

IBC Telescopic Runners are high-quality, precise and very compact telescopic linear motion bearings that are available as partial and full runners. Cage-guided and roller-guided versions are available. The guides consist of an outer profile rail in which a ball bearing-guided inner profile rail runs. The balls that run in the grooves permit the movement of the inner profile in the outer profile and hence the extension. Both the inner profile and the outer profile have grooves. The rolling bearings allow an even, low-friction transfer of force with a high degree of stiffness. The profiles can be set with or without clearance, or they can be preloaded.

Non-linear movement sequences can be implemented with the new Flexy-Runner Curve Guidance System. This makes it possible to travel variable curves as well as constant radii. The system offers a very flexible and economic solution. The associated carriers have movable roller carriers and permit consistent running even over complex track sections. Two profile sizes are offered. The configurations are made according to the respective customer specifications.

IBC Easy-Runners are high-quality, precise and very compact linear ball bearings. An internal cage guided profile is moved via balls in an outer profile rail and generates the stroke. IBC Easy-Runners are therefore generally characterised by a high power density and, as a consequence, are very cost effective.

ARTB bearings are axial-radial bearings. They consist of an angle ring, an outer ring and a cover disk and have two cage-guided axial roller assemblies and a full complement radial roller assembly. This allows combined loads in the axial and radial directions to be taken up and results in a one-bearing solution that is ready to mount and easy to install.

Ball screws in machine tools drive workpieces and machine parts quickly, efficiently and precisely. The BSD and BSDF rolling bearing series were developed as uncomplicated support bearings for ball screws that are easy to mount. The double-row precision 60° ball screw support bearings provide highly precise (P4), low-friction and stiff support bearings for ball screw spindles with a high load- bearing capacity.

Precision 60° ball screw support bearings that act on one side take up axial loads only in the direction in which the rolling bearings have loads applied between the high flanges of the inner and outer rings. In most cases these rolling bearings are used against one another in pairs. A typical application is for support bearings for a ball screw. Precision 60° ball screw support bearings are universally ground.

In addition to single-row high-precision angular ball bearings, IBC cylindrical roller bearings also find application in machine tools. They combine a high degree of stiffness and load-bearing capacity with high running accuracy, the ability to run at high speeds, and a low cross-section height. They are manufactured in single-row design in the 19.. and 10.. dimensional series and in double-row design in the 30.. and 49.. dimensional series.

All IBC high precision angular contact ball bearings are universally ground and can therefore be used individually or combined to form an angular contact ball bearing set in any desired bearing arrangement. The use of universal angular contact ball bearings for mounting as a set is a great advantage, especially concerning inventory and component availability.

DTB high precision bearing series (Driven Tool Bearings) was developed especially for driven tools as used for milling and drilling in modern high-precision machine tools. These forms of machining are often done in a limited space with short cycle times and with the use of high machining forces.
