Unground bearings include a broad range of styles and bearing types, used in an array of applications from conveyors to sporting equipment. They offer low cost, flexible solutions to many applications that require a rolling element. Bearing materials range from various grades of carbon and stainless steel through to plastic (nylon 66), and combinations of both.

They can be full compliment, caged or needle roller; flanged or flat; axial or thrust; greased or non-lubricated; pressed or semi-precision.

GBC sources unground bearing from quality manufacturers in Taiwan and China in various standard specifications, as well as developing specialised designs for particular customer needs.
