Minimise friction and support moving parts in your machinery with this ball bearing from SKF. It's an essential piece of kit you'll find used everywhere from axles and gearboxes to pumps. For versatility, the unit supports radial and axial loads in both directions at high rotational speeds of up to 15000r/min. Because it's a deep-groove type, it's a reliable option for carrying heavier loads, in this instance up to 37.1kN for dynamic and 23.3kN for static loads. The ends are covered by metal dust shields, which reduce the need for maintenance by protecting the bearing from dirt and contamination.
