Bearing remanufacturingReplacing industrial bearings can be expensive and energy-consuming. Bearing remanufacturing offers a cheaper, more environmentally sustainable option. We use a combination of reused, repaired and new parts to rebuild your bearing to the specifications of the original manufactured product.View more

Deep groove ball bearings are the most widely used bearing type and are particularly versatile. They have low friction and are optimized for low noise and low vibration which enables high rotational speeds. They accommodate radial and axial loads in both directions, are easy to mount, and require less maintenance than other bearing types. 

The SKF bearing catalogue lists a large range of designs, variants and sizes of deep groove ball bearings. Beyond our catalogue offering, the SKF Explorer deep groove ball bearings are customizable to offer advantages for applications with specific performance needs.

Getting the most out of your bearings
Applications

Deep groove ball bearings are the most widely used bearing type and are suitable for many different industries. Matching that versatility across many different applications, they are available in a wide range of designs, variants and sizes. Here are examples of applications in which deep groove ball bearings might be used:​

• Electric motors and generators
• Agriculture
• Material handling
• Industrial transmissions
• Food and beverage
• Industrial pumps
• Industrial fans
• Two and three wheelers
• Cars and light trucks

• Self-aligning ball bearingsSelf-aligning ball bearings have two rows of balls, a common sphered raceway in the outer ring and two deep uninterrupted raceway grooves in the inner ring. They are available open or sealed. The bearings are insensitive to angular misalignment of the shaft relative to the housing (fig. 1), which can be caused, for example, by shaft deflection.Accommodate static and dynamic misalignment
  The bearings are self-aligning like spherical roller bearings or CARB bearings.
• Excellent high-speed performance
  Self-aligning ball bearings generate less friction than any other type of rolling bearing, which enables them to run cooler even at high speeds.
• Minimum maintenance
  Because of low heat generation, the bearing temperature is lower, leading to extended bearing life and maintenance intervals.
• Low friction
  Very loose conformity between balls and outer ring keeps friction and frictional heat at low levels.
• Excellent light load performance
  Self-aligning ball bearings have low minimum load requirements.
• Low noise
  Self-aligning ball bearings can reduce noise and vibration levels, for example, in fans.
