SKF shielded deep groove ball bearings are versatile ball bearings that suit high and very high speeds, they will accommodate both radial load and axial load in both directions. The ball bearings need very little maintenance. SKF deep groove ball bearings come in a range of different sizes. This range is single row ball bearings.

Shielded (2Z) bearings are fitted with two metal dust shields to prevent the ingress of dirt and foreign matter. 2RZ bearings are 2Z bearings fitted with two low friction seals.

- Primarily intended for applications where the bearing inner ring rotates
- Fitted in the outer ring and form a narrow gap with the inner ring
- Both standard and C3 clearance available
- Protect from dirt and debris without friction losses

What are deep groove ball bearings?

These are the most popular type of bearings and consists of an inner ring, outer ring, cage and the ball bearings. The bearings have deep raceway grooves. These type of bearings deliver high performance and high load capacity.

Why used shielded ball bearings?

Shielded ball bearings have a metal or plastic shield that is secured to the outer race of the bearing on each side of the bearing. Ball bearings that spin at high speeds require lubrication and a clean environment By having the ball bearings shielded this offers better protection against dirt and grease therefore the ball bearings have a longer lifespan.

This ball bearing is designed for applications that necessitate reliability and performance. It features a single row deep groove design, ensuring optimal function in diverse operational environments, particularly within mechanical and electrical systems. It can support substantial loads and is suitable for sectors such as automation and electronics, where precision and durability are important.

• Robust design enhances operational efficiency in machinery
• Single row configuration allows for smooth rotation at high speeds
• C3 clearance accommodates thermal expansion and variable loads
• Shielded design prevents contamination from dust and debris
• High static and dynamic load ratings ensure durability under stress
• Manufactured from high-quality steel for improved strength and longevity

• Utilised in electric motors to improve efficiency
• Appropriate for automotive , enhancing vehicle performance
• Suitable for machinery in automation systems requiring precision
• Commonly used in conveyor systems to ensure smooth operation
• Employed in fans and blowers for effective airflow management

Proper alignment and careful handling during installation are essential. Ensure the bearing fits precisely into the housing to avoid premature wear or failure.

Regular inspections for signs of wear are advised. Lubrication should be performed based on specific application requirements to maintain performance.

Factors such as load, speed, installation quality, and environmental conditions (dirt, moisture) significantly affect its lifespan, along with adherence to maintenance protocols.
