Single Row Deep Groove Ball Bearings
Single row deep groove ball bearings are versatile rolling-element bearings capable of handling both radial and axial loads. They are commonly used in electric motors, automotive components, and industrial machinery.
Highly Versatile for Radial & Axial Loads
Single Row Deep Groove Ball Bearings are the most popular ball bearing type due to their versatility. The deep, uninterrupted raceway grooves allow them to handle both radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions. This makes them suitable for a vast range of applications, from electric motors to household appliances and automotive components.
They are often the default choice when load conditions are primarily radial or mixed.
Excellent High-Speed Capability
Thanks to their simple design and low friction characteristics, Single Row Deep Groove Ball Bearings perform exceptionally well at high rotational speeds. Their internal geometry is optimized for smooth running.
If your application involves fast-rotating shafts, such as in power tools, fans, or spindles, these bearings offer a reliable and efficient solution to maintain performance and minimize heat generation.
Cost-Effective and Readily Available
Due to high production volumes and standardized design, Single Row Deep Groove Ball Bearings are generally the most economical ball bearing solution for many common applications.
They offer excellent performance for their price. As a fundamental bearing type, they are widely stocked, making them readily available when you need them.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much axial load can a deep groove ball bearing handle?
While they can handle axial loads, their capacity is limited compared to their radial load capacity. Typically, the axial load should not exceed about 25-50% of the static radial load rating, depending on the bearing series.
What's the difference between ZZ (Shielded) and 2RS (Sealed) bearings?
ZZ shields are non-contact metal plates offering basic dust protection. 2RS seals are typically rubber lips that contact the inner ring, providing better protection against fine contaminants and retaining grease more effectively (sealed bearings).
Are stainless steel versions available for purchase?
Yes, for applications requiring corrosion resistance (e.g., food industry, wet environments), Single Row Deep Groove Ball Bearings are commonly available in stainless steel (like 440C). Check product specifications for material options.
How do I find and purchase the right bearing size on your site?
Use our search bar with the bearing size number (e.g., 6205-2RS) or dimensions (bore, OD, width). Utilize the filters to narrow down by bearing size, seals/shields, etc. Product pages provide detailed specs before you purchase.
