Special Environment Ball Bearings
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
Linear Ball Bearing for Special Environments
A compact infinite linear motion bearing

The linear ball bearing is a high accuracy bearing that makes linear motion in the axial direction while making rolling contact with the axis. This is a compact infinite linear motion bearing comprising of balls on its outer casing, a cage and a shield.

Linear Way for Special Environments
High accuracy linear motion made easy

A linear way is a bearing unit comprising of balls circulating inside a slide unit which performs infinite linear motion on a track rail. By securing the slide unit and track rail with a mounting bolt, it is possible to easily obtain high-accuracy linear motion.

Cross Roller Way for Special Environments
Load resistance in all directions and high-accuracy linear motion

The Cross Roller Way is a linear motion bearing combining cylindrical rollers with a cage between two raceway bases with raceway surfaces made of two V-shaped planes. In this bearing the cylindrical rollers are arranged to meet at right angles alternately therefore it can withstand load in any direction and is possible of extremely high-accuracy, smooth linear motion.
