This deep-groove ball bearing from SKF is a practical choice for use with oscillating or rotating parts of machinery where minimising friction is essential. The unit prevents direct metal-to-metal contact in motion and delivers low-friction action. This helps reduce energy consumption, minimises heat generation and keeps the wear and tear of moving parts low. As the ends are open, it's easy to apply grease or oil to the bearing's workings as necessary. Single-row bearings like this are commonly used in electric motors and office machinery as they take up less space than double-row alternatives.

• Reference speed of 17,000r/min and limiting speed of 11,000r/min for high-tempo operations
• 19mm race is precisely engineered, so installation is simple and performance is reliable
• Fatigue load limit of 0.9kN for heavy-duty applications
• Light weight of 420g for easy handling and no unnecessary system strain

• Mechanical tools and cars
• Hospital equipment
• Household tools
• Industrial plants

Unsealed units like this one are suited to settings where contamination is minimal. If heavy dust is present, it's better to use a sealed unit (667-1207).
