This versatile ball bearing from SKF can handle high speeds and requires little in the way of maintenance. It's a deep-groove type, built to accommodate both radial and axial loads. The steel construction offers high wear resistance and a long service life. As an open-end bearing, it's easy to re-lubricate and allows the lubricant to travel freely around the bearing. This device has an inside diameter of 160 mm and an outside diameter of 220 mm, with a race width of 28 mm. It can bear a mass of 3.2 kg.

• Creates low friction torque so generates minimal heat
• Tough steel construction
• Optimised for quiet operation

• Mining and quarrying
• Automotive industry
• Robotics

SKF's deep-groove ball bearings are a versatile choice because they can handle loads in both directions.

Oils are the ideal lubricants for open bearing designs because they're less viscous than greases, enabling more efficient running with lower torque and higher speeds.
