The Benefits Of Deep Groove Ball Bearings

by | Dec 16, 2014 | Tips and Advice

Deep groove ball bearings are among the most widely used type of bearing in the world. They can operate at high speeds and can carry radial and (limited) axial loads. They are commonly used in electric motors, compressors, fans, and conveyors.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF DEEP GROOVE BALL BEARINGS?

  • Versatility – because they can carry radial and axial loads, they have a wider range of applications for many industries
  • Cost savings – deep groove ball bearings create less friction torque. This lowers operating temperature (which extends the life of the bearing) and reduces energy cost of running equipment (such as conveyor belts).
  • Less upkeep – because of their simple design, low operating temperature, and low friction, deep groove ball bearings have a longer expected shelf life than other bearings. They do not require additional lubrication after installation, which also means less maintenance downtime.
