Ball Bearings
NHBB manufactures precision (ABEC 5 & 7) ball bearings from 0.1250 in. to 11.00 in. O.D. Production standards as well as custom designs are available to meet your requirements for load, speed, torque, assembly, corrosion resistance and operating life. Our ball bearing product lines include: miniature & instrument bearings, dental bearings, large diameter ball bearings, as well as torque tube and thin section (Thinex) bearings.
Miniature & Instrument Bearings
Precision Division & myonic USA
The M & I product line encompasses inch and metric series radial and angular contact bearings ranging from 0.1250 in. to 1.8504 in. O.D. Optional features include flanges, shields and seals, extended inner rings, modified dimensions, and full ball complement designs. Duplex and super duplex constructions are also available. Our premium series of ultra-precision, high-speed angular contact bearings operate comfortably at speeds above 500,000 rpm. Many options exist for improving high-speed performance and operating life, including premium bearing steels, ceramic balls, phenolic and Torlon® machined retainers, and proprietary lubricants.

Thin Section (Thinex) & Torque Tube Bearings
HiTech Division & Precision Division
This group features bearings with thin rings, narrow cross sections, large bore diameters, and a large number of small diameter balls. They are used when bearing size and weight need to be kept to a minimum and when high accuracy, high stiffness (less deflection), and low friction are required. We manufacture radial, angular contact, and gothic arch versions in sizes ranging from 0.75 in. to 11.00 in. O.D. As always, custom solutions are available.
