Sealmaster, Browning and System Plast Mounted Bearings are offered in a in a variety of bore sizes, housing styles and material options, including industry-specific designs engineered to solve problems. They are available rolling elements include ball bearings, spherical roller bearings and tapered roller bearings designed to fit most applications. Offering a wide variety of variations to meet your specific application requirements.
McGill Cam followers and track rollers provide antifriction solutions for translating rotation to linear motion or supporting either pure radial or combination thrust loads depending on the rolling elements types. Our range of offerings for specialized and heavy-duty applications includes maintenance-free, corrosion resistant and extreme-temperature designs incorporating advances in treated stainless steel and manufacturing processes.
Unmounted bearings do not require any housing to attach to the drive shaft and are offered in a variety of types and styles. We offer a wide variety of ball bearings, cylindrical roller bearings, needle roller bearings, spherical roller bearings, and tapered bearings. They are all available from our McGill and Rollway brands with a variety of options and clearances to suit your application needs.
Rod ends and spherical plain bearings are designed to support a load. This combination also accommodates angular motion, misalignment and oscillation in mechanical motions systems. Rod ends and spherical plain bearings are available in a variety of sizes and options to meet the needs of your application.
For over 70 years, McGill and Rollway have been providing innovative solutions for aerospace and specialty industrial applications. Our focus is on custom bearing solutions. We have extensive experience in the design and manufacture of bearings found in a variety of aerospace and specialty applications. These include gearboxes, pumps, actuation, control, airframe, and military.
The bearing products offered by Regal may require accessories to further enhance their value. These accessories range from end caps to lubrication. These accessories can be used on several bearing platforms and are available for customization with support from our Application Engineering group.

Proper selection, handling, installation and maintenance are needed for reliable bearing operation. Based on industry published data and Regal Power Transmission Solutions compiled data, short bearing life is most often the result of issues related to lubrication, contamination, installation, misalignment, shaft lock or other application factors. Learn about various types of bearing failures and how to prevent failures from causing unwanted downtime and cost.
Ingress Protection (IP) Marking rates the degree of protection provided by mechanical casings and electrical enclosures against intrusion, dust, accidental contact and water. It is published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The IP69K rating is for high-pressure, high-temperature washdown applications. Enclosures conforming to it must not only be dust-tight, but also able to withstand high pressure and steam cleaning.
While unmounted bearings have the luxury of off the shelf oil seals with a much larger sealing area than a mounted bearing, the level of exposure to real world conditions that mounted bearings are exposed to make it crucial to have a good bearing seal.
Avoid these mounted bearing installation and lubrication myths and misconceptions that can lead to costly issues that could affect performance and uptime.
