SKF Deep-Groove Ball Bearing, 5mm ID, 11mm OD - 638/5-2Z


For a versatile and low-maintenance bearing to keep your equipment running smoothly, turn to this deep-groove ball bearing from SKF. It can handle radial and axial loads in both directions and rotate them at high speeds. The shielded ends prevent contamination from entering the workings, helping the unit to run efficiently and prolonging its service life. Thanks to a cylindrical bore, you can mount it directly onto a shaft without the use of an adaptor sleeve.
