What Are Deep Groove Ball Bearings and How Are They Used?

If you are looking for an efficient bearing that has high strength and stiffness, then a deep grooved bearing is definitely the one for you. They are primarily used in applications where power transfer is required such as industrial trucks and other heavy machines. They have high strength and dampened torque, which helps it to transfer loads quickly and with less fatigue and slip. They can also be used for applications where shaft slides are involved such as on rollers and many more.

There are two different types of these bearings which are Type A and Type B. The difference is mostly in terms of construction, although both varieties have characteristics that make them great for the specific application. In the heavy-duty category we have the Type A ball bearing, which has a high level of stiffness and a high lubricity level. They tend to have high torque which is ideal for high speed applications and have low friction that makes them suitable for applications with minimal resistance. On the other hand, the Type B deep groove ball bearing has a lower level of stiffness but has higher levels of thermal expansion and thermal contraction, which leads to excellent thermal performance. They also have very good resistance to abrasive loads.

If you want to apply a radial load, the type of deep groove ball bearing will help you out. These have the ability to handle both radial and axial loads. With radial loads, they have the ability to transfer rotational energy to the rotor shaft while with axial loads, it transfers rotational energy to the spindle arm. These bearings are generally preferred in applications where high torque is needed because they tend to be much more durable than other types. However, they are also found in some applications where low torque is required as well. It all depends on what your application needs are and which bearing is best suited for it.
