What is a deep groove ball bearing?

Deep groove ball bearings are a common and versatile type of rolling bearing, and their design and construction make them widely used in a variety of applications. Deep groove ball bearings derive their name from their unique deep groove structure, which forms a deep groove between the inner and outer rings of the bearing and helps to withstand radial and axial loads.

The main components of a deep groove ball bearing include the inner ring, outer ring, rolling element and cage. The rolling elements are usually spherical in shape, which allows deep groove ball bearings to roll between the inner and outer rings of the bearing, reducing friction and wear and resulting in efficient rolling motion. The role of the cage is to ensure that the rolling elements are correctly positioned and to provide sufficient clearance inside the bearing to accommodate the lubricant and reduce friction.

Deep groove ball bearings are widely used in several fields, especially in the automotive sector. This is due to its excellent load bearing capacity to support various key components of the vehicle and ensure its stable and reliable operation, whether it is the engine, transmission system, wheel components or suspension system, all of which are inseparable from deep groove ball bearings.

Due to their special form, deep groove ball bearings are used in a variety of rolling bearing applications, such as rolling sheaves, rolling door rails, rolling screens and conveyor belts, to support smooth movement and sliding.
