BALL BEARINGS
Ball Bearings use balls as rolling elements and are designed to carry radial and axial loads.
SKF offers a wide range of ball bearings, which includes:
- Deep groove ball bearings: These bearings have a deep groove raceway and are designed to accommodate radial loads and axial loads in both directions. They are commonly used in applications such as electric motors, pumps, and compressors.
- Angular contact ball bearings: These bearings have a contact angle between the inner and outer raceways and are designed to accommodate axial loads in one direction. They are commonly used in applications such as machine tool spindles and automotive wheel bearings.
- Self-aligning ball bearings: These bearings have two rows of balls and a common sphered raceway in the outer ring, which allows for self-alignment and compensates for misalignment. They are commonly used in applications such as conveyor systems and printing presses.
- Thrust ball bearings: These bearings are designed to accommodate axial loads in one direction and are commonly used in applications such as automotive steering systems and machine tool spindles.
- Y-bearings: These bearings are designed to accommodate both radial and axial loads in applications where the bearing is mounted in a housing.
SKF ball bearings are available in a variety of materials, including stainless steel, hybrid ceramic, and plastic, to suit different application requirements. SKF also offers a range of accessories and maintenance products for their ball bearings, including seals, lubricants, and bearing housings.
