Keep your operation running smoothly with this ball bearing from SKF. It's specially designed to be low maintenance and has two metal dust shields fitted to prevent dirt and other tricky customers from getting in and clogging up the working. The bearing has a single row of rolling parts set in a 20mm race, so achieves a good balance between simplicity, compactness and friction-free motion. Deep grooves allow it to deliver high performance even with high dynamic loads up to 37.1kN, so you can rest easy that things will flow as they should.

• Steel construction provides durability and precision
• Static load rating of 23.2kN suitable for heavier applications
• Parallel bore for space efficiency in tight working areas

• Mechanical engineering
• Automotive manufacturing
• Engines and pumps
• Medical equipment

No, because it's a deep-groove ball bearing it runs with low levels of friction so it generates significantly less noise and vibration than other types.

The bearing's limiting speed – the highest speed it can continuously operate at without generating critical heat – is 8000 r/min. This makes it suitable for fast-paced processes.
