The deep groove ball bearing is the most widely used roller bearing. It’s structure is simple and is easy of use. It is mainly used to bear the radial load. By means of increasing the rib height coefficient, the radial play, etc., the deep-groove ball bearing may have a certain performance of the angular contact ball bearing, i.e. bearing a certain radial load.

Compared with other kinds of bearings of the same size, the deep groove ball bearing features lower friction coefficient and high speed limit, but it has low impact resistance and is not applicable to bearing heavy load.

What are ball bearings?

Ball bearings are little pieces of machinery that assist moving parts move more smoothly by reducing friction. This makes it easier and more efficient for items like wheels, fans, and motors to turn. There are tiny steel balls between two rings, which are called raceways. These balls glide smoothly, carrying loads and making sure everything goes with as little resistance as possible.

Types of ball bearings:

Deep-Groove Ball Bearings are the most prevalent type.They can take both radial (sideways) and axial (push) loads. Their simple, strong construction makes them suitable for high-speed use.
Angular contact ball bearings have a particular contact angle that helps them tolerate combined loads.
Self-Aligning Ball Bearings: These are smart bearings that can fix themselves if the shaft or housing isn't completely straight.
Thrust Ball Bearings: These bearings are made to accommodate axial loads (forces along the shaft).

Application for Ball Bearings:

Things like washing machines and fans that people use at home
Wheels and transmissions are examples of car parts.
Industrial machinery like motors and conveyor belts
Robots, medical devices, and even aerospace equipment
Their role is to keep parts moving smoothly, cut down on wear and tear, and make machines last longer by reducing friction.
