	Agricultural Bearings Agricultural equipment is characterized by reliable operation in dirty environments with minimum maintenance.IDEAL bearings are used in many applications, including tractor bearings, linkage and pivot bearings, hinges, pedals,steering and suspension assemblies, articulated connections and hydraulic cylinders. They are found in diverse equipment types,including tractors, harvesters, mowers and cultivators, front loaders, trailers, baler presses, silage cutters, hoes and ploughs.
	Automotive Bearings More than 30 automotive applications, from the interior to under the hood to under the vehicle, help to minimise the need for lubrication and servicing, and to provide high reliability even in dirty environments. Specifically used in: power steering cylinders, steering gear thrust washers, disc brakes, calipers and pistons, shock absorbers, governor linkages (diesel),windshield wiper motor/transmissions, tilt gear assemblies, hydraulic steering mechanisms, shifter linkages, brake pedal points,clutch cross shafts, steering shaft universal joints, throttl bodies,tachometers, fuel pumps, roof actuators, steering pivot tubes,kingpin assemblies, suspension and steering ball joints, yoke assemblies, steering idler arms and torsional supports.
	Chemical Engineering Bearings The most important application for IDEAL bearings in chemical engineering equipment is in ball valves and butterfly valves where maintenance free operation combined with high load capacity, dimensional stability and low friction is important.
	Construction Equipment Bearings Construction equipment is characterized by reliable operation in dirty environments with routine maintenance. IDEAL bearings are used in applications including linkage and pivot bearings, hinges, pedals, steering and suspension assemblies,pulleys and hydraulic cylinders in diverse equipment types including graders, excavators, concrete pumps, pile drivers and cranes.
	Consumer Goods Bearings IDEAL bearings are used for their maintenance free properties in a variety of industrial products under the general classification of consumer goods. These include applications in diverse equipment such as microwave ovens, coffee percolators, domestic shower door hinges, window awning frames,mountain bike suspensions, bicycle brake calipers and dynamo, fishing equipment and ski bindings.
	Hydraulic Equipment Bearings In addition to their excellent friction and wear properties, IDEAL bearings are compatible with all common hydraulic fluids including mineral oils, synthetic oils and numerous types of water-oil emulsions for applications where fire retardant properties are required. Applications include gear pumps, axial and radial piston pumps, and hydraulic cylinder rod guide bearings.
	Industrial Bearings IDEAL bearings are used for their maintenance free properties in a variety of applications under the general classification of industrial equipment. These include applications in diverse equipment ranging from electrical switch gear, solenoids, textile machinery and food processing equipment to traffic restrictors and pipe hangers.
	Lifting Equipment Bearings IDEAL bearings are used for their low friction, extended wear life and maintenance free properties in pivot bearings and other applications in numerous types of lifting equipment including fork lift trucks, pallet trucks, scissor lifts, access platforms,various types of cranes including lorry mounted cranes and container. handling systems.
	Machine Tools and Industrial Manufacturing Bearings Industrial manufacturing equipment is characterized by long operating life with routine and planned maintenance intervals.IDEAL bearings are used in an extensive variety of manufacturing equipment for their low friction, extended wear life and maintenance free properties. Applications include bending press main bearings, multi-ram press guide bearings, machine tool slide-way bearings and equipment examples include injection moulding machines, bottle blowing machines, industrial solder machines, heat treatment units, and cable winding and braiding machines.
	Marine Bearings Marine application areas for IDEAL bearings include deck handling equipment where low maintenance is required, bowthrusters and Z-drive transfer shaft support bearings where extended wear life and space saving are important considerations.
	Office Equipment Bearings IDEAL bearings are used in office equipment applications where their low friction and maintenance free properties facilitate the design and operation of equipment ranging from adjustable chairs, adjustable desks and automatic door closers to postal franking machines, photograph trimmers and printers.
