SKF deep groove ball bearings have deep, uninterrupted raceway grooves. These raceway grooves have a close osculation with the balls, enabling the bearings to accomodate radial and axial loads in both directions. These bearings are particularly versatile and are:
- simple in design
- non separable
- suitable for high and even very high speeds
- robust in operation, requiring little maintenance
Deep groove ball bearings are the most widely used bearing type. Consequently, they are available from SKF in many designs, variants, series and sizes.
SKF deep groove ball bearings are available for shaft diameters ranging from 3 to 1500 mm.
They are available in three performance classes:
- SKF standard bearings for high quality
- SKF Explorer bearings for high-load carrying capacity
- SKF Energy Efficient (E2) bearings for energy efficiency
For specific applications, SKF also manufactures engineered solutions, including:
- bearings for extreme temperatures
- SKF DryLube bearings
- bearings with Solid Oil
- insulated bearings
- polymer bearings
- NoWear coated bearings
- sensor bearing units
