Snap Ring Groove Ball Bearings
The bearing with snap groove can be axially positioned in the bearing seat through the snap ring, significantly reducing the installation time and saving space.
Snap Rings Takes More Axial Fixation Ability
Snap ring groove ball bearing is a type of deep groove ball bearing with snap ring and snap groove.
The snap groove is generally located in the bearing outer ring. Snap ring with an opening can snap into the groove, becoming a little circlip ring on the bearing.
After the bearing installed, these small retaining rings will effectively limit the axial displacement of the bearing, thereby greatly increasing the axial fixing ability of this type of bearing and enabling the equipment to run smoothly.
More Stability & Less Maintenance
Deep droove bearing can bear the radial and axial loads themselves. The snap ring can further this advantage, and make the radial and axial loads on the bearing evenly distributed.
This kind of design can not only increase the stability of operation, but also decrease the wear during the movement of bearing components and reduce maintenance, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of bearings.
Make Installation Easier
Stop rings can replace traditional mechanical fixing methods, such as using nuts, rivets, etc. Compared with traditional mechanical fixing, the installation of stop rings is simpler and more convenient, and can be installed without special tools.
Before installation, only need to consider the inner diameter and overall thickness of the snap ring, making the bearing and equipment form a compact structure without unnecessary installation steps.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Does the purchase of bearings include a snap ring?
Generally, yes. Different models and suppliers provide different situations. Most manufacturers will pre-install the snap ring. You can confirm by the product details page on our website or contact us.
Can I use snap ring bearing in a housing that doesn't have a groove for the snap ring?
Yes, but it's not recommended. Without the snap ring, this bearing is just a deep groove ball bearing with a groove on outer ring. In other aspects, such as load capacity and RPS, it is the same as the standard deep groove ball bearing.
Is a special tool required for installing a snap ring?
Yes, mostly need snap ring pliers. This kind of plier has a special jaw, can expand or compress the snap ring safely, so that it can be inserted into or removed from the groove. It is not recommended to use ordinary pliers or screwdrivers.
Do your bearings meet international quality standards?
Yes, we are an ISO-certified bearing manufacturer, and all our bearings strictly comply with international quality standards.
