Nomenclature of Gamet Bearings

Plain Cup – The basic single row bearing can be used in light to medium loaded applications, and provides a simple, cost-effective arrangement.

C Type – The flanged cup version enables through boring of the housing for simplicity and accuracy.

G Type – Double row bearings offer nearly twice the capacity of the equivalent single row bearing, and are therefore used in more heavily loaded applications.

H Type – Double row bearings offer nearly twice the capacity of the equivalent single row bearing, and are therefore used in more heavily loaded applications.

P Type – This single row bearing has an extended outer ring, housing a number of springs. It is mounted in conjunction with either a single or double row bearing. As the outer race is free to slide in the housing, the spring force ensures that a constant bearing system preload is maintained despite thermal expansion due to varying temperature conditions
