    How hot are you running Mr. Bearing?


    How hot are you running Mr. Bearing? Find out with our infrared digital thermometer! This digital thermometer uses a laser pointer to measure the heat that is being produced by the bearing. This handy tool helps you ensure your bearing isn’t running in higher temperatures than allowed. The thermometer has the capacity to measure temperatures of -50 to 380º C. It measures 155mm x 80mm x 40mm, find more information about the Infrared Digital Thermometer at http://www.vxb.com/page/bearings/PROD/Kit12519 .

    Our ceramic bearings get along!


    Our ceramic bearings get along, there is no friction there…! True statement, full ceramic bearings produce the least amount of friction possible making them perfect for high speed applications. These bearings are made to be used in applications with high humidity, high heat, and light load. Ceramic is in fact brittle so any kind of vibration or impact can damage the bearing. The featured bearing measures 9mm x 17mm x 5mm and has a PTFE cage. For more information on this bearing, contact us, we are happy to help. http://www.vxb.com/page/bearings/PROD/CeramicBallBearings/Kit8327
