Deep groove ball bearings are one of the widely used bearing types in the world. They can operate at high speeds and can withstand radial and (limited) axial loads. They are commonly used in electric motors, compressors, fans, and conveyor belts.
What are the advantages of deep groove ball bearings?
Versatility – Because they can withstand radial and axial loads, they have wider applications in many industries
Cost Savings – Deep groove ball bearings generate less frictional torque. This reduces operating temperatures (extending bearing life) and reduces energy costs for running equipment such as conveyor belts.
Less Maintenance – Due to their simple design, low operating temperatures, and low friction, deep groove ball bearings have a longer expected shelf life than other bearings. They require no additional lubrication after installation, which also means less maintenance downtime.
Which industries use deep groove ball bearings? Many industries benefit from the use of deep groove ball bearings:
agriculture
food processing
machine tool
Material handling
Medical/Pharmaceutical
print
railway transportation
Wind energy
