Support high load capacities with this ball bearing from SKF. It has a 15mm inner diameter and a 40mm outer diameter and accommodates radial and axial loads in both directions for consistent performance. A crowned running surface helps to ensure stress is evenly distributed to prolong the unit's service life. This also increases load-carrying capability in heavy-duty applications. Sealed ends ensure that contaminants are kept out of the workings, making this a reliable choice. It has C3 clearance, which means there's adequate expansion room between the races to accommodate movement and heat generation.

An angular contact bearing has an asymmetric cross-section. It supports loads that aren't perpendicular to the bearing axis but which sit at a contact angle. Deep-groove designs support loads in both directions.

You should replace your ball bearing when you notice clicking or humming noises, vibrations or misalignment, as these indicate wear.
