Deeps groove ball bearings are very widely used. A deep groove is formed on each inner and outer ring of a deep groove ball bearing. Radial load and axial loads in either direction and the resultant forces of these loads can be sustained. These bearings are suitable for high speed operation.
Various types of these bearings exist such as prelubricated bearings, bearings with both sides shielded or sealed and prelubricated, bearings with snap rings and open type bearings. By using these bearings, housings can be easily designed for mounting.
