ANL Rings
The ANL style may be described as a very light duty AN style ring. It is often characteristic of this ring to not have a circular shape in the free state. ANL rings have corrugations that also face inward and are light-duty versions of AN rings. The material that is used is very thin, so ANL rings do not maintain a circular shape in their free state. These light duty rings are used primarily where installation forces must absolutely be kept to a minimum and where the ring will see low radial loads.
Typical Applications for ANL Rings
MINIATURE BALL BEARINGS
Made especially for miniature and small-sized ball bearings, up to 30mm in outer diameter. They are ideal for high-precision and high-speed rotating components to ensure rotational accuracy.
Hand-Assembly
Due to a higher degree of wave-compression, ANL rings are flexible enough to allow for hand assembly in situations where machine assembly is prohibitive.
Thin-Profile Bearings
For more delicate bearings, ANL-style Tolerance Rings can provide structure, while not damaging fragile bearing components.Common Bearing Sizes & Compatible ANL Rings
Below is our detailed chart of ANL type rings, designed for typical bearing sizes. We keep many of these in stock, however, we often do custom ring development for specific needs. For anything not shown below, please fill out the New Project Information Form, and we’ll work with you to develop a ring that meets or exceeds your needs.
