Introducing the range of RS PRO Bearing Inserts, ideal for mounting applications on shafts without the requirement for shoulders or adapters and is locked in place using a set screw or locking collar to secure it. The main benefits of bearing inserts is that they can simply be fitted directly onto the shaft, have a much longer service life than standard bearings, which makes them much more cost effective over the long term, and they can often accommodate much heavier loads than their standard counterparts, often being favoured for use in heavy duty environments like agriculture, textiles, and processing and packaging.

A bearing insert is a type of bearing that most commonly used to support applications that require the bearing to be mounted directly to the shaft. Designed to run at optimum performance while still providing a long service life as long as lubrication standards are met, these types of ball bearings can generally withstand longer maintenance intervals because they run quieter and cooler than other types, meaning less downtime for inspection, maintenance and repairs.
