This deep-groove ball bearing from SKF has a single row of rolling elements held in a plain race for smooth rotation. A durable cage secures the balls to minimise vibration at high speeds. The cage and balls are made from tough steel, which is resistant to corrosion so can withstand use in damp or humid environments. The unit's rigid design and smooth movement mean it operates quietly. Use this versatile option to support both axial and radial loads in rotating machine components.

• Durable steel body is easy to clean and impact-resistant
• Open-ended for easy re-lubrication
• Dynamic load rating of 5.4kN (kilonewtons) to support moderate-sized loads in moving applications

• Steel mills
• Gearboxes
• Electric motors
• Industrial pumps

The limiting speed is the maximum speed that a ball bearing can tolerate without mechanical breakdown, while the reference speed is the highest speed under generated friction heat. This unit has a limiting speed of 38,000r/min (rotations per minute) and a reference speed of 60,000r/min, so it can keep up with demanding applications.
