Our Angular Contact Bearings Are Ready-to-Ship for Most Applications

Even though we do offer customization for our angular contact bearings, most people find that our S, SM and KH series perform to the exact specs they need.

Request a quote and we will send you pricing and availability.

We ship orders the same day the PO is sent (as long as the PO is sent by 3:30 pm CST). Most of our precision bearings are in stock and ready to ship out from Houston, Texas.

Customization Options Available

We understand that some machine applications have different and unique bearing requirements. Some may need heavier load capabilities or faster operational speeds.

Whatever your requirements, we know that sometimes “Out-of-the-box” specs WON’T fit all – all the time.

We strive to offer a truly customizable approach to our angular contact bearings and our bearing experts can help you match the right bearing with the right machine application.

If you have specific customization needs, check with our bearing technicians to get the right bearing designed, manufactured and ordered.

Angular Contact Bearing Selection Options:

• Cage Material: Phenolic Resin (standard) or PEEK with Carbon Fiber
