Single row deep groove ball bearings NSK  6004

Single-row deep groove ball bearings are the most common type of rolling bearings. Their use is very widespread. The raceway grooves on both the inner and outer rings have circular arcs of slightly larger radius than that of the balls. In addition to radial loads, axial loads can be imposed in either direction. Because of their low torque, they are highly suitable for applications where high speeds and low power loss are required. In addition to open type bearings, these bearings often have steel shields or rubber seals installed on one or both sides and are prelubricated with grease. Also, snap rings are sometimes used on the periphery. As to cages, pressed steel ones are the most common.

Application: Like with other types of bearings, deep groove ball bearings are used in a wide variety of different industrial machines, including gearboxes, industrial instruments, motors, pumps, internal combustion engines, agricultural machinery, construction equipment, and engineering machinery. Deep groove ball bearings are especially critical to the operation of electrical motors.
