BER ROBUST series ultra-high speed angular contact ball bearings with a contact angle of 25°.
A high-performance series developed for applications involving high-speed operation, low temperature rise, and ultra-precision machining.

**19, 10, 29, 20 series**
**Ball materials are available in three types: steel balls (S), ultra-long life bearing rolling elements (E), and ceramic balls (H, X).**

*Cages are available in four types: outer ring guided phenolic resin cage (T), rolling element guided polyamide resin cage (TYN), rolling element guided copper alloy cage (MY), and outer ring guided PEEK resin cage (T5). Selection can be made according to application and size.
Products with non-contact sealing rings are available.

V1V    Non-contact rubber seals.

Non-contact rubber seals are provided on both sides of the bearing to prevent the intrusion of external foreign objects.

Furthermore, they prevent grease from scattering, achieving high reliability and extending the grease's lifespan.
E34 Outer Ring Oil-Supply Bearing (ROBUST SHOT)

The outer ring features an oil groove, oil supply hole, and O-ring, specifically designed for oil-air lubrication, saving space.

For ROBUST series only.
