About Radial Ball Bearings

Radial ball bearings are probably the most widely used and most recognized ball bearing. These bearings have one row of balls (referred to as a single row), which revolves around the ball path. This feature provides another name for the bearings; they are commonly called deep groove ball bearings. Although designed to primarily carry radial loads, a radial ball bearing’s raceways are deep enough that it can also carry reasonable thrust loads. (However, if thrust loads are excessive, an alternative type of bearing should be considered.)


Products & Services Related to Radial Ball Bearings

Aerospace Bearings
Aerospace bearings are designed to meet the rigorous demands of aircraft control and aerospace applications.
Ball Bearings
Ball bearings are used to provide smooth, low friction motion in rotary applications. Ball bearings types include radial ball bearings (deep groove and angular contact) and thrust ball bearings.
Insert Bearings
Insert bearings and wide inner ring bearings mount to shafts via setscrews or locking collars.
Miniature Bearings and Instrument Bearings
Miniature bearings and instrument bearings carry moderate radial and thrust loads at low operating torque while providing high performance in a small envelope design. These types of bearings are single row ball bearings available in up to 1 1/8" outer diameter (OD) sizes
Needle Roller Bearings
Needle roller bearings are designed for radial load applications where a low profile is desired.
Roller Bearings
Roller bearings are used in rotary applications to replace sliding movement with low friction, rolling motion. The principal types of roller bearings are cylindrical, spherical, and tapered.
Thin-section Bearings
Thin-section bearings have small cross-sections with respect to their diameter.
