Single-row deep groove ball bearings
The single-row deep groove ball bearings is a very common type of bearing. Deep groove ball bearings are used to carry both radial and axial loads in both directions. These bearings come in open, sealed, or shielded configurations. Single-row deep groove ball bearings are very popular due to their versatility in a wide range of applications.
Deep groove ball bearings are most commonly used for low to moderate speeds, high radial loads, and low axial loads. They are one of the most common bearing types used in both electric motor and gearbox applications. Deep groove ball bearings consist of an outer race, an inner race, and a ball as the actual rolling element. The inner and outer races of a deep groove ball bearing are usually made of steel, but synthetic materials such as ceramics and plastic can also be used.
Deep groove ball bearings are typically lubricated with a high viscosity thick grease designed for high-speed applications. Some deep groove ball bearings may also come with oil-filled grooves or slots as well as grease seals. These features are designed to help prevent leakage of lubricants while allowing contaminants to be separated from the lubricant.
When selecting a deep groove ball bearing, the following design factors should be taken into consideration: load, speed, temperature, and size. The designation of a deep groove type of bearing is based on the bore diameter and outside diameter of the inner and outer races. The load capacity of a bearing is determined by its internal design and can be affected by such factors as contact angle, number of balls, and contact area.
Speed is another key factor when selecting a deep groove ball bearing. The maximum rotational speed of a bearing is based on its internal design and lubrications. In general, higher speeds should be avoided in bearing applications due to the increased risk of heat generation and bearing failure. Temperature is another key factor when selecting a deep groove ball bearing. As temperatures change, the viscosity of the lubricants in the bearing will also change and this will affect the life of the bearing.
Size also plays an important role in the selection of a deep groove ball bearing. The size of the bearing must be accurate in order for it to fit properly and to prevent premature failure. The size of the bearing is determined by the inner and outer diameters as well as the width and length of the bearing.
In general, single-row deep groove ball bearings are relatively inexpensive, easy to install and maintain, and come in a wide selection of sizes, configurations, and styles. These bearings are often chosen for their versatility, noise reduction, and durability. Single-row deep groove ball bearings are also often used in a variety of applications including automotive, industrial, agricultural, and even medical.
