Deep groove ball bearings are the most popular type of bearings, thanks to their versatility. They're made up of an inner ring and outer rings, along with a cage and balls. They have a deep raceway groove that's precision-engineered for smooth running.

Unlike sealed bearings, which are supplied pre-lubricated for their entire working life, bearings protected by metal shields can be cleaned and regreased.
