Deep groove ball bearings have full shoulders on both sides of the raceways
of the inner and outer rings.
They can accept radial loads, thrust loads in either direction, or a combination of loads. The design of
deep groove bearings make them suitable for the addition of
closures which help exclude contaminants
and retain lubrication. Besides single deep groove bearings with closures,
FAG also offersduplex
pairs with seals or shields on the outboard faces.
Flanged bearings are especially useful in through-bored housings. The inboard side of the flange
provides an accurate positioning surface
for bearing alignment, eliminating a need for housing
shoulders or shoulder rings. Deep groove bearings are available in many sizes, with
a variety of
cage types. Because of their versatility, deep groove bearings are the most widely used type
of bearing.
