9.1 Deep Groove Ball Bearing
Deep groove ball bearings are particularly versatile. They are simple in design, non-separable, suitable for high and very high speeds and are robust in operation, requiring little maintenance. Because deep groove ball bearings are the most widely used bearing type, they are available in many designs, variants and sizes.
In addition to the bearings presented in this section, deep groove ball bearings for special applications are shown under engineered products. Deep groove ball bearings for special applications include:
9.1.1 Single Row Deep Groove Ball Bearing
Single Row Deep Groove Ball Bearings have deep, uninterrupted raceway grooves. These raceway grooves have a close osculation with the balls, enabling the bearings to accommodate radial loads and axial loads in both directions. Single row deep groove ball bearings are available open or capped (with seals or shields). We can also supply bearings with a tapered bore.
9.1.2 Stainless Steel Deep Groove Ball Bearing
Stainless Steel Deep Groove Ball Bearings are corrosion resistant when exposed to moisture and several other media. They can accommodate radial loads and axial loads in both directions. These bearings have a lower load carrying capacity than same-sized bearings made of high chromium steel. Stainless steel deep groove ball bearings are available open or capped (with seals or shields).
9.1.3 Single Row Deep Groove Ball Bearing with Filling Slots
Single Row Deep Groove Ball Bearings with filling slots have a filling slot in both the inner and outer rings to accommodate more balls than standard deep groove ball bearings. Filling slot bearings have a higher radial load carrying capacity than bearings without filling slots, but their axial load carrying capacity is limited. They are also unable to operate at the same high speeds as bearings without filling slots. Deep groove ball bearings with filling slots are available open or with shields. They are also available with or without a snap ring groove. Open bearings that are also available with shields, may have recesses in the outer ring.
9.1.4 Double Row Deep Groove Ball Bearing
Double Row Deep Groove Ball Bearings correspond in design to single row deep groove ball bearings. Their deep, uninterrupted raceway grooves have a close osculation with the balls, enabling the bearings to accommodate radial loads and axial loads in both directions. Double row deep groove ball bearings are very suitable for bearing arrangements where the load carrying capacity of a single row bearing is inadequate. For the same bore and outside diameter, double row bearings are slightly wider than single row bearings in the 62 and 63 series, but have a considerably higher load carrying capacity.
