Press Release Body = (Fairfield, CT - January 2007) RBC Bearings' Heim UnibalŪ ball
bearings offer superior ability to handle high loads and provide longer service life
to such applications as wheels, casters, ammunition loaders, textile machines, door
closers, power tools, conveyors, wheelchairs, pulleys, and lift mechanisms. Heim's
unique manufacturing process produces races uninterrupted by splits or slots. The
full complement of balls offers a significant capacity advantage over caged or
split-ring designs.

While Heim ball bearings are unground, their burnished races provide far smoother
operation than other unground bearings. This often allows a Heim design to be used
in place of precision ground bearings in many applications. The Heim unground ball
bearings are also manufactured to accommodate for housing variations and eliminates
the need for precision housing fit ups which are required for precision ground ball
bearings. Unibal bearings are available in plain, flanged OD, and extra capacity to
allow clevis mounting. They are offered in all the standard bearing sizes, plus
special configurations.

RBC Bearings is an industry leader in the development of precision bearing products
for a diverse group of applications, including: aerospace, construction, mining and
material handling equipment, mobile hydraulics systems, farm machinery,
transportation equipment, automation and robotics, machine tool and semi-conductor
industries, and a host of other industrial applications.
