The most widely used type. A single row of balls runs in deep raceway grooves machined into both rings. Simple, low-friction, high-speed capable and virtually maintenance-free. Three closure options: open (no suffix), steel shields (ZZ) and contact rubber seals (2RS) pre-filled with grease.
Carries mainly radial load and moderate axial load in both directions. Not self-aligning: shaft and housing bore must be concentric — significant misalignment causes overheating and early failure.
Electric motors, industrial fans, water pumps, gearboxes, light conveyors, agricultural machines, motorcycles, household appliances.
Steering columns, wheel hubs, alternators, gearboxes, motors for wipers, windows and seats, and throttle valves.
Handles radial load plus some axial load in compact housings.
Tractors, planters and seeders, combine harvesters, sprayers, harrows, trailers and ploughs.
Sealed-for-life bearings where relubrication is difficult, self-aligning types that tolerate shaft misalignment, and stainless steel against fertiliser and spray chemicals.
Almost any rotating machine, especially electric motors, as well as machine tools, inverters, pumps, gearboxes and food-processing equipment.
Deep groove bearings for motors, angular contact bearings for spindles, pumps and gearboxes, and thrust bearings for axial loads.
Conveyors, fans and farm machinery with long shafts or imperfectly aligned mountings.
Tolerates shaft misalignment while running smoothly.
Bakery ovens, food-processing and bottling lines, and machines cleaned with water or steam.
Stainless steel bearings combined with food-grade (NSF H1) grease.
Washdown and cleaning equipment, chemical processing lines, and fuel and solvent handling.
Stainless steel is the standard choice for wet and mildly corrosive conditions.
Robot arm joints, small robots, encoders, stepper and servo motors, camera gimbals and microscopes.
A thin cross-section saves space and weight.
