WHAT ARE DEEP-GROOVE BALL BEARINGS?


WHAT ARE DEEP-GROOVE BALL BEARINGS?

Not all ball bearings are created equal. Different types are designed to meet specific requirements, so if you’re not an engineer or distributor (and sometimes even if you are), it’s not always easy to pick out the one that best fits your needs. 

Take one of the most commonly used type of bearing – deep-groove ball bearings. Just because it’s used often doesn’t mean it’s the right fit for your particular application. Let’s take the next few minutes to learn more.

 

FEATURES OF DEEP-GROOVE BALL BEARINGS

Deep-groove ball bearings are great for handling large loads and fast operating speeds. They can withstand a radial load and a limited axial (or thrust) load. In short, deep-groove ball bearings are a good option if there will be pressure applied to the bearing from both the side of a shaft (radial) and along the shaft (axial).

Here’s a good article that explains the difference between radial and axial thrust load.
