Deep groove ball bearings, also known as radial ball bearings, are the most widely used bearing type due to their versatility, durability, and low-maintenance operation. Designed with deep raceway grooves, these bearings provide smooth, low-friction performance and quiet operation across a broad range of applications. While primarily engineered to support radial loads, deep groove ball bearings can also accommodate moderate axial loads in both directions, making them ideal for electric motors, conveyors, agricultural equipment, and general industrial machinery.
Options: Available in a wide range of configurations to meet diverse application requirements, with solutions manufactured under our PTI and TRITAN brands.
Bearing materials include high-performance AISI 52100 chrome steel and corrosion-resistant stainless steel for extended durability and reliability.
Bore types include hex, round, square, and straight configurations to support a variety of shaft designs. Closure options range from open and shielded styles to advanced sealing solutions such as double sealed, non-contact seals, triple lip seals, trash seals, and combinations of shields and seals for enhanced contamination protection in harsh environments.
A wide selection of lubrication options is available, including:
-
Light oil preservatives
-
NLGI Grade 2 greases
-
Chevron SRI-2
-
Polyrex EM
-
Aeroshell fluids
-
Alvania greases
-
Food-grade lubricants, and specialty greases such as Raremax Super N to support high-speed, high-temperature, and washdown applications.
Additional features include multiple outer diameter profiles (cylindrical, spherical, and flat), flange options for positioning flexibility, and retainer materials such as brass, nylon, phenolic, stainless steel, and steel. Bearings are offered in a full range of sizes, widths, and dynamic and static load ratings to meet varying performance demands.
