Auburn Bearings

Auburn Bearings manufactures an exclusive line of thrust bearings that are specifically designed to reduce rolling friction. Instead of the usual round groove ball track certain Auburn bearings incorporate a "V" groove raceway. This "V" groove design distributes the load evenly over the balls as they travel on four points of contact, creating a straight line rolling effect and decreasing the amount of friction created by a full contact round groove design. The Auburn styles that incorporate the "V" groove design have the added advantage of being able to carry radial loads equal to 25% of their thrust load capacity.
