Suitable For Various Applications

Many industrial applications involve radial loads, making deep groove ball bearings an ideal solution for keeping machinery running smoothly. Radial loads typically impact the contact points between the rolling elements and the centre of the raceway. Deep groove ball bearings have a single point of contact with the raceways, which, when subjected to purely radial loads, allows these contact points to move beneath the radial plane.

Additionally, deep groove ball bearings are known for their versatility and durability. They can handle high speeds and support both radial and axial loads, which makes them suitable for a wide range of machinery and equipment. Their design also ensures minimal friction and heat generation, contributing to the longevity of the bearings and the efficiency of the machines they support. This reliability and performance make deep groove ball bearings a preferred choice in many industrial settings.

Support in Both Directions

The deep raceway grooves in the bearing rings and the narrow osculation between the raceway grooves and balls allow single row deep groove ball bearings to support axial loads in both directions. The axial load-carrying capacity depends on factors such as bearing size, internal construction, and operating clearance. However, excessively high axial loads can increase running noise and significantly reduce the bearings' operating life.

Proper lubrication and maintenance are crucial to maximising the performance and longevity of deep groove ball bearings. Regular monitoring and timely replacement of lubricants help reduce friction and wear. Additionally, maintaining appropriate operating conditions, such as avoiding extreme temperatures and preventing contamination, further enhances the bearings' durability and efficiency. By following these best practices, industries can ensure optimal functionality and extend the service life of their machinery.

Types of Deep Groove Ball Bearings

There are many different types of deep groove ball bearings available from Aire Bearings, and finding the right one for your application is essential. That's why our team has created the following list to help you find the right bearings for industrial uses, engineering parts, and garden parts:

Double Row Deep Groove Ball Bearings

Double row deep groove ball bearings offer higher load-carrying capacity compared to single row bearings. They are ideal for applications where space constraints require a compact bearing solution without compromising on performance. These bearings are commonly used in electric motors, pumps, and automotive transmissions.

Imperial Deep Groove Ball Bearings

Imperial deep groove ball bearings are manufactured according to imperial (inch) measurements, catering to industries and machinery that use non-metric standards. These bearings provide the same reliability and performance as their metric counterparts, making them suitable for older equipment and specialised applications.

Special Dimension Deep Groove Ball Bearings

Special dimension deep groove ball bearings are designed to meet unique size requirements and specific application needs. These custom bearings ensure compatibility and optimal performance in specialised machinery and equipment where standard bearings may not fit.

Single Row Deep Groove Ball Bearings

Single row deep groove ball bearings are the most common type and are versatile in handling both radial and axial loads. Their simple design and high durability make them suitable for a wide range of applications, including electric motors, household appliances, and industrial machinery.

Thin Section Deep Groove Ball Bearings

Thin section deep groove ball bearings are designed for applications requiring minimal space and weight. Despite their reduced cross-section, these bearings maintain high load capacity and precision. They are often used in aerospace, robotics, and medical devices where compactness is crucial.

Miniature Deep Groove Ball Bearings

Miniature deep groove ball bearings are used in applications requiring high precision and small size. These bearings are essential in devices like dental tools, computer fans, and small electric motors. Their ability to handle moderate loads while maintaining high rotational speeds makes them indispensable in miniaturised equipment.

Choosing the Right Bearings

Selecting the appropriate deep groove ball bearings involves considering factors such as load capacity, speed, and environmental conditions. Leading brands like SKF, NSK, and Timken offer a variety of high-quality options to meet diverse industrial needs. Creating a comprehensive list of requirements and matching them with brand specifications ensures the best selection for your application.

Loose Balls and Open Bearings

For applications requiring custom configurations or easy replacements, loose balls and open bearings are excellent choices. Loose balls allow for flexibility in assembly, while open bearings are suitable for environments where seals or shields are not necessary. Proper selection of size and material ensures optimal performance and longevity.
