Rolling bearings

Deep groove ball bearings
Product Introduction

Deep groove ball bearings are the most widely used bearing type, particularly for their versatility. They offer low friction and are optimized to reduce noise and vibration, enabling high speeds. They can accommodate radial and bidirectional axial loads, are easy to install, and require less maintenance than other bearing types.

The JOJI bearing catalog lists various designs, variants and sizes of deep groove ball bearings. In addition to the products listed in the catalog, JOJI deep groove ball bearings can be customized to bring benefits to applications with special performance requirements.


Design and variants

  • Single row deep groove ball bearings
  • Stainless steel deep groove ball bearings
  • Single row deep groove ball bearings with ball filling gap
  • Double row deep groove ball bearings
Bearing units (Y bearings)
Product Introduction

Mounted bearings (JOJI Y bearings) are based on the sealed deep groove ball bearings of the 62 and 63 series. The difference is that they have a convex outer ring and, in most cases, an extended inner ring. They have a specific locking device that enables quick and easy installation on the shaft.


Angular contact ball bearings
Product Introduction

The inner and outer ring raceways of angular contact ball bearings are offset relative to each other in the direction of the bearing axis. This means that these bearings are designed to carry combined loads, i.e. radial loads plus axial loads.

The axial load capacity of angular contact ball bearings increases with the contact angle. In the radial plane, the angle between the line connecting the contact points of the ball and raceway (i.e. the direction in which the combined load is transferred from one raceway to the other) and the line perpendicular to the bearing axis.


Self-aligning ball bearings
Product Introduction

Self-aligning ball bearings have two rows of spherical rolling elements, with a common spherical raceway in the outer ring and two deep-groove, continuous raceways in the inner ring. They can be open or sealed. They accommodate large angular displacements of the shaft relative to the housing (fig. 1), for example, caused by shaft deflection.


Thrust ball bearings
Product Introduction

JOJI produces thrust ball bearings in either single-direction or double-direction configurations. They can only accommodate axial loads and are incapable of supporting radial loads. In addition to the bearings described in this section, JOJI also offers thrust ball bearings suitable for specialized applications. This range includes bearings with Solid Oil and NoWear coating.


Angular contact thrust ball bearings
Product Introduction

JOJI angular contact thrust ball bearings are separable, meaning the washers, balls, and cage assemblies can be installed separately. Although these bearings were originally designed to support the rotary table of drilling rigs, they are also suitable for other applications.


Features and Benefits

  • Accommodates axial and radial loads
  • High load capacity
  • High axial stiffness
  • Low friction
  • High-speed performance


Cylindrical roller bearings
Product Introduction

JOJI cylindrical roller bearings are available in a variety of designs, series, variants, and sizes. The main design differences lie in the number of roller rows and the design and material of the inner and outer ring flanges and cage. These bearings can handle the challenges of heavy radial loads and high speeds. They accommodate axial displacement (except for bearings with flanges on both the inner and outer rings), and they offer high rigidity, low friction, and long service life. Cylindrical roller bearings are also available in sealed or split designs. In sealed bearings, the rollers are protected against contamination, water, and dust, keeping the lubricant inside while excluding contaminants. This results in lower friction and longer service life. Split bearings are primarily used in hard-to-reach bearing arrangements, such as crankshafts, where they simplify maintenance and replacement.


Needle roller bearings
Product Introduction
JOJI needle roller bearings are bearings with cylindrical rollers whose diameter is smaller than their length. The improved roller/raceway geometry prevents stress peaks and extends the service life of the bearing.
JOJI offers needle roller bearings in different designs, series and sizes to meet various working conditions and applications.
Tapered roller bearings
Product Introduction
JOJI cylindrical roller bearings are available in a variety of designs, series, variants and sizes. The main design differences are the number of roller rows and the inner/outer ring flanges as well as the cage design and material.

The bearings can handle the challenges of heavy radial loads and high speeds. They can accommodate axial displacement (except bearings with flanges on both the inner and outer rings), and they offer high rigidity, low friction and long service life.

Cylindrical roller bearings are also available in sealed or split designs. In sealed bearings, the rollers are protected against contaminants, water, and dust, keeping the lubricant in while keeping contaminants out. This results in lower friction and longer service life. Split bearings are primarily used in hard-to-reach bearing arrangements, such as crankshafts, where they simplify maintenance and replacement.
Spherical roller bearings
Product Introduction
How do you accommodate high radial and axial loads in applications prone to misalignment or shaft deflection? Solve this challenge with JOJI spherical roller bearings. Their high load capacity and ability to tolerate misalignment can help you reduce maintenance costs and extend bearing life. JOJI invented this bearing in 1919, and today we offer the industry's broadest product line—both open and sealed. Our product range includes spherical roller bearings designed for a wide range of applications, including wind turbine main shafts, continuous casting machines, vibratory applications, and high-speed applications, as well as bearings that use solid oil, split bearings, JOJI ConCentra roller bearing units, and JOJI Triple Protection Solutions for the most demanding conditions.
CARB toroidal roller bearings
Product Introduction
CARB toroidal roller bearings are unique: in addition to accommodating misalignment without increasing stress levels, they also enable frictionless axial movement within the non-locating bearing of a self-aligning bearing arrangement. This allows for higher loads and significantly extends service life.
Cylindrical roller thrust bearings
Product Introduction
JOJI cylindrical roller thrust bearings can withstand heavy axial loads and impact loads. This type of bearing cannot withstand any radial loads. The bearing has high rigidity and requires only a small axial space.
Needle roller thrust bearings
Product Introduction
JOJI needle roller thrust bearings are equipped with a shaped cage that reliably holds and guides a large number of needle rollers. They offer exceptional rigidity within a very small axial footprint. In applications where the surface of an adjacent machine component can serve as a raceway, needle roller thrust bearings require less space than conventional thrust washers.
Tapered roller thrust bearings
Product Introduction
JOJI tapered roller thrust bearings can withstand heavy axial loads and peak loads. The bearings have high rigidity and require only a small axial space.
Spherical roller thrust bearings
Product Introduction
JOJI spherical roller thrust bearings feature specially designed raceways and asymmetric rollers. These bearings can accommodate axial loads acting in one direction and radial loads acting simultaneously. The load is transferred between the raceways via rollers positioned at an angle to the bearing axis, while ribs guide the rollers.
Adapter sleeve
Product Introduction
Adapter sleeves are commonly used to secure tapered bore bearings to cylindrical journals. They can be used on both smooth and stepped shafts.
This accessory facilitates installation without requiring additional space on the shaft. When used on smooth shafts, the bearing can be secured anywhere on the shaft. When used on stepped shafts, adapter sleeves, combined with L-shaped spacers, provide more precise axial positioning of the bearing, facilitating installation and removal.

Withdrawal sleeve
Product Introduction
Withdrawal sleeves are used to mount bearings with a tapered bore on cylindrical journals on stepped shafts (fig. 1). The sleeve is pressed into the bore of the bearing inner ring, which in turn presses against a shaft shoulder or similar retaining element. The sleeve can be secured with a nut or end plate. KM or HM locknuts with the appropriate locking mechanism are suitable (locknuts with a keyway are required). Locknuts are not supplied with the sleeve and must be ordered separately. End plates are not manufactured by JOJI.
Lock nut
Product Introduction
Lock nuts are used to lock bearings onto shafts. They are also used to mount bearings with a tapered bore onto tapered journals and adapter sleeves, and to remove bearings from withdrawal sleeves. Lock nuts are also frequently used to lock gears, pulleys, and other machine components. Lock nuts must be tightened to prevent accidental loosening by: a locking mechanism that engages a keyway on the shaft or a locking groove in the adapter sleeve, or a locking mechanism built into the nut. JOJI lock nuts can be secured to the shaft using a variety of methods. The lock nuts listed here are part of the JOJI basic product line. Lock nuts with other locking methods are available upon request. For more information, please contact SKF.

JOJI Industrial Lock Nuts
  • Keyway Required
  • With Built-in Lock
JOJI Precision Lock Nuts


  • With Built-in Lock


Locking nuts with a built-in locking mechanism can reduce shaft machining costs by eliminating the need for a keyway. Also, no separate locking mechanism is required, making installation quicker and easier. However, the loosening torque for these lock nuts requires careful attention. For information on loosening torque, please refer to the product data section for each lock nut series.
Backing bearing
Product Introduction
JOJI backing bearings are available in a variety of designs and variations. The main types are double-row or triple-row cylindrical roller bearings. Single-row needle roller bearings and double-row tapered roller bearings are also available.
Backing bearings were specifically developed for multi-roll cold rolling mills, but can also be used in other applications, such as straightening or bending machines. These bearings have a particularly thick outer ring and can be mounted on fixed support shafts to form backup or straightening rolls. Figure 1 shows the backing bearing arrangement on the eight support shafts of a 20-roll mill.

Hybrid ceramic bearings
Product Introduction
Hybrid bearings combine rings made of bearing steel and rolling elements made of bearing-grade silicon nitride (Si3N4), which has insulating properties.
Silicon nitride rolling elements provide higher bearing performance, even under difficult operating conditions, thereby extending bearing service life.

INSOCOAT Insulated Bearings
Product Introduction
Motors, generators, and related equipment are at risk when current flows through bearings. This not only damages the contact surfaces of the rolling elements and raceways within the bearings (galvanic corrosion), but also rapidly degrades the lubricant. An additional risk arises from the high-frequency currents in motors and generators, which can form loops through the equipment's inherent stray capacitance. The risk of damage is increased when frequency converters are used.
INSOCOAT insulated bearings are designed to prevent the flow of electrical current through the bearing. The outer surface of the inner or outer ring is coated with an insulating aluminum oxide layer using a complex plasma spraying process to achieve an exceptionally high-quality surface finish. This solution is highly cost-effective compared to other insulation methods.
High temperature bearings and bearing units
Product Introduction
JOJI high-temperature bearings and bearing units are designed to improve reliability, reduce complexity, and minimize environmental impact. Operating temperatures up to 350°C (660°F) make them ideal for kiln cars, roller-hearth furnaces, and baking equipment. JOJI high-temperature bearings correspond to ISO-standard grease-lubricated bearings, so you can easily achieve your goals of increased productivity and reduced costs by simply replacing your JOJI bearing solution.
NoWear never-wear coated bearings
Product Introduction
NoWear coating is a wear-resistant carbon coating. NoWear coating can be applied to the rolling elements and inner ring raceway of bearings (designation suffix L7DA) or only to the rolling elements (designation suffix L5DA).
NoWear coating applies a wear-resistant carbon coating to the bearing surface using a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process. The coating thickness ranges from 1 to 3 μm, depending on the bearing size. The coating has a hardness of 1,200 HV10.
The coating of NoWear bearings increases the surface hardness, friction and wear resistance while retaining the toughness of the base material.
A small amount of coating material is transferred to the mating surfaces during the running-in period. Even if only the rolling elements of the bearing are coated, the coating can reduce friction and improve resistance to wear and adhesive wear.
Solid oil bearings
Product Introduction
JOJI Solid Oil bearings are designed for applications with high humidity and occasional contact with water and other contaminants. Bearings using Solid Oil are lubricated for life and cannot be relubricated.

Solid Oil:
  • A polymer material is molded into the bearing. The polymer absorbs saturated lubricant and forms small gaps around the rolling elements, cage, and raceways, allowing the bearing to rotate freely.
  • The polymer material in Solid Oil has a porous structure with millions of microscopic pores, which lock the lubricant within the polymer material through surface tension.
  • This fills nearly all free space within the bearing.
  • During operation, the lubricant is released into the smallest gaps, providing effective minimal lubrication.
Sintering trolley pulley bearings
Product Introduction
JOJI support roller units are based on double-row or four-row full complement cylindrical roller bearings.
They have been developed for use in continuous sintering furnaces. These ready-to-install units are also suitable for heavy-duty applications with frequent changes in direction of rotation or low speeds.

Ball roller bearings
Product Introduction
JOJI roller ball bearings (yoke-type track roller bearings based on ball bearings) are designed for operation on all types of tracks and can be used in cam drives, conveyor systems, and more. The outer ring running surface is spherical as standard. Double-row roller ball bearings with a cylindrical (straight generatrix) outer ring running surface are also available.
