At SMB Bearings we insist on providing our customers with a complete range of options. Unfortunately, sometimes a stainless steel bearing may not provide you with all the characteristics you need. Hybrid bearings often have longer service life than all-steel bearings and are also electrically insulating. They can operate at high speeds and tolerate poor lubrication. If you are searching for miniature ball bearings in the UK and need to account for conditions such as higher operating speeds, noise mitigation and specialised applications, then consider hybrid bearings. These are ball bearings with rings of steel and ceramic rolling elements. Some of our bearings are also available as high precision angular contact ball bearings intended for machine tool spindles and other specialty applications.

Skate Bearings
Roller skates, skateboards and inline skate bearings are available featuring low noise and superior rotation. These are all noise and vibration tested. We offer these with steel balls or ceramic balls. We also stock a stainless steel version.

Vacuum Bearings
We can supply dry bearings, moly-disulphide treated or specially greased bearings for vacuum applications.
