Go for a ball bearing like this one from SKF when you need a way of safely moving radial and axial loads in both directions. As it's a deep-groove type, it's optimised for low friction and produces little noise, vibration or potentially hazardous heat. This means you can work in comfort while it gets on with the job. It also lets the component achieve up to 32,000r/min, so you can count on it to support your high-speed applications. Thanks to its hardwearing carbon-rich bearing steel composition, you can rest assured this unit is with you for the long term.

• Needs no lubricant, making maintenance a thing of the past
• Bearing heat-stabilised up to +120°C for safe use in harsh environments
• Part of the SKF Explorer class, so safe and long-lasting in high power-density applications
• Dynamic load rating of 8.52kN indicates it can tolerate large forces when in motion

• Gearboxes
• Pumps
• Wind turbines

A reference speed of 50,000r/min lets you know the upper speed limit this bearing can tolerate before it's likely to suffer degradation caused by excess heat.
