SCTRUCTURE

Radial contact single-row and double-row ball bearings are inseparable and consist of an outer ring, an inner ring and a cage with balls. They are, above all, adapted for operation with high rotational speed and designed for transferring radial loads. Ball bearings  can also normally  transfer  small  loads,  in  the narrow range, in the axial direction, especially double-row bearings.

They rank among most commonly used rolling bearings because of their simple construction, numerous construction variants and  low prices. Ball bearings  for magnetos miss one of the lips on  the outer ring and that is why they are dismountable. This  feature enables separate mounting of both rings.

CONSTRUCTION VARIANTS

Depending on needs deep-groove ball bearings can be delivered  in various construction variants, e.g. with  reduced or  increased  clearance,  with  higher  accuracy  classes  or with special cages suited for operation with high rotational speed.

Furthermore deep-groove ball bearings are manufactured in  many  construction  variants,  what  enables  substantial  simplification  or  improvement  of  bearing-closed  pairs used  in machines and  installations. The best example  for this may be  the application of bearings with ZZ-type steel shields or 2RS-type rubber seals or a groove in the N-type outer ring for fixing a bearing in the mounting in the longitudinal direction with the help of the R-type ring. Bearings with two steel shields or two rubber seals are filled by the manufacturer with a proper amount of plastic lubricant, that will do for the whole life of a bearing under normal operation conditions.

For  special  uses  one  also manufactures  bearings with  a apered bore of 1:12 taper for mounting them with bearing sleeves. And in aggressive environment ball bearings made of acid resistant steel (SS designation behind the bearing’s symbol) are used.
