Reliable Variety of Bearings & Brushes
With large local stocks, VITAL can supply bearings and bushes from all of the leading manufacturers of the world. From the smallest miniature ball bearing to the largest spherical roller, VITAL will get you what you want, when you want it.
Ball Bearings
Available in all different configurations, deep groove ball bearings are found in a huge range of applications. Open, sealed or shielded we can help.
Roller Bearings
Roller bearings typically have a higher radial load capacity than ball bearings, but a low axial capacity and higher friction under axial loads.
Needle Roller
Both single and double row needle bearings are available, having very high load carrying capacities, and suitable for high speeds. Open and sealed versions are available
Sleeves
Adapter sleeves are used for locating taper bored bearings onto a cylindrical shaft. They are available for both imperial and metric shafts.
Super Precision
Predominantly available in radial, single row angular contact and deep groove ball bearings. A variety of seals, shields and cages are available for most bearings.
Angular Contact
This type of bearing allows both radial and axial loads combined. The larger the contact angle – usually in the range of 10 to 45 degrees – the higher the axial load supported.
Spherical Roller Bearings
Roller bearings typically have a higher radial load capacity than ball bearings, but a low axial capacity and higher friction under axial loads.
Linear Bearings
Our linear range includes ball bushings, housings, shafts and supports as well as complete linear systems designed to your specification.
Tapered Roller Bearings
Comprising of an outer ring, inner ring and roller assembly, this type of bearing can take large axial forces. In many applications, they are used back-to-back, supporting the axial forces equally in either direction.
Housings
Available in a wide variety of configurations and materials, bearing housings can also be made to order to accommodate most environments
Thrust Bearings
Composed of either balls or rollers supported in a ring, these bearings can be used in thrust applications where there is little radial load present..
Cam Followers
Cam followers are bearings with a stud incorporating needle rollers in a thick walled outer ring.They are designed to have minimal radial clearance to increase the loading capacity.
Split Roller Bearings
Available in both pillow block and flanged units, split roller bearings dramatically reduce downtime when compared to standard units. .
Bushes
Available in various materials including sintered iron, bronze, metal-polymer, and nylon.
Ball Bearings Units
These units are available in many different configurations, including pillow block, flange and take-up. The housings vary in materials, including cast iron and pressed steel.
Balls & Rollers
Precision balls are available in many different materials, including carbon chrome, stainless steel, brass, bronze, tungsten carbide and nylon.
