Aetna Bearings specializes in the production of Clutch Release Bearings, a critical component in the engagement and disengagement of gears within clutch systems. These bearings are particularly designed for smooth operation and long-lasting durability, making them an ideal choice for various automotive applications.

Each part number corresponds to a specific bearing design, with variations in dimensions, materials, and load capacities to meet different operational requirements. Customers can consult Aetna’s product catalog for more in-depth information and specifications.

Aetna’s Thrust Ball Bearings are engineered to manage axial loads effectively, ensuring efficient operation in various applications that require high-speed movement. Unlike other bearing types that can handle both radial and axial loads, thrust ball bearings are specialized to manage loads that are parallel to the shaft. This specialization allows for the design to focus on high-speed operability, reduced friction, and optimized load distribution.

The manufacturing of these bearings includes the use of high-quality materials like chrome steel, which adds to their durability and lifespan. The bearings also undergo rigorous in-house testing to make sure they meet Aetna’s stringent quality standards.

ABMA Inch Thrust Ball Bearings

Aetna Bearings offers a line of ABMA Inch Thrust Ball Bearings. These bearings are engineered for high-speed applications and are made from durable materials like chrome steel to ensure long-lasting performance.

Aetna Bearings’ Thrust Ball Retainers, often referred to as cages, serve the essential function of maintaining the proper spacing between the rolling elements of the bearing, thus ensuring a balanced distribution of loads and minimizing friction.
