Thrust ball bearings support axial loads parallel to the shaft and are used where the primary load is along the axis of rotation. Radial ball bearings, on the other hand, handle radial loads perpendicular to the shaft and can also manage some axial loads. Radial bearings are suited for high-speed applications, while thrust ball bearings are specialised to provide axial load support.

A deep groove in a Radial Ball Bearing refers to the design of the inner and outer raceways (also referred to as races or rings), which have a deep concave spherical profile matching the profile of the balls' surface. This design provides a larger contact area, allowing the bearing to handle higher axial and radial loads. Deep Groove Ball Bearings are versatile and commonly used in automotive and industrial machinery.

Deep groove ball bearings are among the most widely used because of their versatility and performance. Reasons to choose them include: High Load Capacity: They can bear both radial and axial loads, making them versatile for various applications. High-Speed Capability: These bearings can operate efficiently at high speeds, which makes them suitable for numerous industrial and automotive uses. Simplicity and Durability: With a straightforward design, deep groove ball bearings are durable and relatively easy to maintain. Versatility: Useful in a variety of applications, from electric motors to household appliances and more.

Deep Groove Ball Bearings handle both radial and axial loads. They are suitable for high-speed applications and are commonly used in industries like automotive and industrial machinery due to their ability to manage mixed load types efficiently. Radial ball bearings operate at high speeds with low friction. Known for durability, they minimise wear and reduce maintenance costs.

Deep Groove Ball Bearings are widely used due to their versatility and ability to support both radial and axial loads. Their simple design, featuring a deep raceway, allows for smooth and quiet operation with minimal friction. Deep Grooves are suitable for high-speed applications making them ideal for use in multiple applications.

Deep Groove Ball Bearings, or Deep Groove Radial Ball Bearings, are essential components in various types of machinery. Designed to enable smooth and efficient operation with little maintenance,  Deep Groove Bearings are characterised by deep raceway grooves inside the inner and outer rings. The design of Deep Groove Ball Bearings allows them to accommodate both radial and axial loads in both directions, making them versatile for use in a wide range of applications. Deep Groove Radial Ball bearings can withstand high-speed rotations and are available in many designs, sizes, and variants. They are the most commonly used bearing type, serving applications in multiple industries worldwide. Deep Groove Ball Bearings play a crucial role in maintaining smooth and reliable mechanical operations, whether used in electric motors, gearboxes, engines, machine tools, or endless equipment applications. We stock a range of metric and imperial Deep Groove Ball Bearings from world-renowned brands such as SKF, FAG, NSK and Timken.

Self-aligning ball bearings and deep groove ball bearings serve different functions based on their design: Self-aligning ball bearings: Ideal for scenarios with alignment errors or shaft deflections, they adjust to angle changes within the machinery, optimizing operation. Deep groove ball bearings: Designed to handle radial and axial loads efficiently but do not compensate for misalignments.

We pride ourselves on being a world leader in customer service, our multi award winning team are fully trained to be able to meet your needs.

The differences between these two types of bearings primarily lie in their design and load handling capabilities: Angular contact ball bearings: Designed chiefly to handle axial loads in one direction and are capable of operating at high speeds. They are set at an angle to bear loads and are typically used in pairs. Deep groove ball bearings: Although able to handle radial and axial loads, they are typically better for applications that require less axial load capacity compared to angular contact bearings. Each type fits specific applications best, depending on the requirements for load, speed, and alignment.

A deep groove ball bearing is a type of bearing that has deep raceway grooves. These grooves are very close to the dimensions of the rolling elements, or balls, that move within them. This specific design allows these bearings to handle both radial and axial loads from different directions. The deep grooves ensure a tight fit between the balls and raceways, increasing the bearing's load capacity and overall durability.
