Get things moving smoothly with this ball bearing from SKF. Designed to support the movement of two surfaces in a machine, it contains a row of metal balls that roll together to reduce friction caused by the application of a load. This is a deep-groove unit, meaning it has a deep raceway for the balls to move in, enabling it to carry high radial and axial loads. Bearings like this one generate less friction than their shallow groove counterparts, so they produce less heat and run quietly.

• Parallel bore for fitting directly onto a shaft
• Steel cage material is highly durable
• Shielded end prevents dirt from getting in and grease from escaping, reducing the need for maintenance
• Dynamic load rating of 940N means it's suitable for heavy-duty applications
• Plain raceway helps to minimise friction, so supports cool running

• Medical equipment
• Manufacturing facilities
• Engines and pumps

It has an inner diameter of 4mm and an outer diameter of 13mm, so is suitable for applications where you need to handle significant loads using compact equipment.
