Deep groove ball bearings are available in a variety of sizes and are the most popular of the rolling bearings. This type of bearing supports radial load and a small degree of axial load in both directions simultaneously. Deep groove ball bearings are popular due to their versatility, affordability, and capability to run at high speeds. Most bearings in the 6000 series up to 60mm bore can be made available in stainless steel (AISI 440C material) upon request. Contact a BHR sales engineer for details.

Single row deep groove ball bearings with filling slots have a filling slot in both the inner and outer rings to accommodate more balls than standard deep groove ball bearings.

Filling slot bearings have a higher radial load carrying capacity than bearings without filling slots, but their axial load carrying capacity is limited. They are also unable to operate at the same high speeds as bearings without filling slots.

Deep groove ball bearings with filling slots are available open or with shields on one or both sides. They are also available with or without a snap ring groove. Open bearings that are also available with shields may have recesses in the outer ring.

Large size deep groove ball bearings with filling slots, without cage, are available on request.
