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.

Easy to mount, quiet during operation and needing little maintenance, this single-row deep-groove ball bearing from SKF gets the job done with the minimum of fuss. You can use it to rotate a degree of axial load along with heavy radial loads of up to 10.1 kN. The parallel bore means you can easily fit it onto a shaft with no need for a bearing housing. As the unit's optimised for low vibration, it can operate at lower speeds to minimise wear and ensure a long service life.

• Steel construction combines strength with resistance to corrosion
• Open-ended design allows the lubricant to circulate freely for smooth running

• Construction equipment
• Industrial pumps
• Agricultural machinery

Single-row ball bearings like this one are best suited to rotating relatively light to moderate loads at high speed. They're engineered with precision races to support smooth running.

Open-ended bearings are suitable for use in environments where you don't need to worry about dust or dirt contaminating the workings. For dirty environments, shielded or sealed bearings are more suitable.
