Rex® roller bearings represent 75 years of bearing technology and experience. Manufactured in Downers Grove, IL, in a state of the art facility, the bearings are untouched by human hands for the majority of the manufacturing process. The roller bearing design allows the inner race to misalign freely in any direction up to 1-1/2" from center, 5/16" per foot of shaft length.

The rollers are aligned by the retainers and the outer races, so despite misalignment the roller load is always equally distributed. This prevents high edge load stress on the rollers, which in turn means that it is not necessary to derate Rex Bearings for misalignment conditions. By design, Rex Bearings accept both radial and thrust loads under static, oscillatory, or dynamic conditions. The load is taken on the roller raceways, not the roller ends. This means that when thrust loaded up to their allowable limit, Rex® roller bearings do not exhibit roller end wear.

Rex® roller bearings are available in multiple housing styles: pillow blocks, flange blocks and take-ups and with a variety of seals.
