This deep-groove ball bearing from SKF is suitable for rotating heavy loads at high speeds. It's an essential choice for applications that need a bearing to carry both axial and radial loads. The deep grooves create less friction than other types of bearing, which lowers the operating temperature and extends the unit's lifetime. As an open-end bearing, it's ideal for use in clean environments where the lubricant can travel freely inside the race to ensure smooth running.

• Steel construction combines strength with resistance to corrosion
• Parallel bore means you can mount the bearing directly onto a shaft, with no need for an adapter sleeve
• Plain race for minimal wear and a long service life

• Pharmaceutical sector
• Printing presses
• Engines and pumps
• Food and beverage industry

An axial load acts parallel to the axis of rotation, while a radial load acts parallel to the bearing's axis.

Single-row deep-groove ball bearings are the most popular type, thanks to their versatility. They also call for very little maintenance.
