This range of ball bearings from SKF are deep groove metric ball bearings with an open end. They are extremely versatile for a wide range of applications.
SKF single row, deep groove ball bearings are available with an inner diameter from 3mm to 95mm, so you will be sure to find a ball bearing for your application.

Why Choose an Open Ended Ball Bearing?
Open bearings have an open side where the balls are visible. This means they do not have a seal or shield. Open bearings are ideal for environments where they won’t come into contact with dirt as this could disrupt the bearing. Open ball bearings instead allow the lubricant inside to travel freely around the bearing for smooth running.

Why Choose a Single Row Deep Groove Ball Bearing?
This type of ball bearing it often the most popular because of its versatility. They are ideal for high speeds and can handle a good radial load capacity, all will very little maintenance required.
“Deep Groove” refers to the race (the groove where the balls rest). There is therefore a larger space between the inner and outer rings, than the diameter of the ball. This leaves space for the rubber seals.

Why choose a steel ball bearing?
Steel is the perfect material for ball bearings as it provides strength and reliability whilst being corrosion-resistant. Steel ball bearings are suitable for installing as they require very little maintenance and are designed to last.

When you want to achieve axial and radial movement with minimal friction, use this SKF deep-groove ball bearing. It's a cylindrical-bore type made from bearing steel. This type of high-carbon chromium offers wear resistance and fatigue strength so you can trust it's reliable and durable. A sheet metal cage and radial internal clearance rating of CN means this unit generates low friction between the balls and the outer ring, producing less heat. Because heat can cause problems with bearing assemblies by drying up lubricant, this helps to extend the life of the bearing and minimises the need for frequent maintenance.

• Integrates with SKF modular system of housings, seals and adapters for broad compatibility
• High max limiting speed of 85,000r/min indicates mechanical robustness
• Heat stabilised up to at least +120°C, so suitable for use in harsh settings

• Household appliances
• Factory automation
• Industrial motors

The choice between bearing steel and stainless steel depends on the environment you'll be using your bearing assembly in. Chrome steel’s robust qualities make it a practical choice for dry settings. Where moisture's present, stainless steel bearings (such as 893-0334) have the advantage of being corrosion-resistant.
