Collection: Sealed deep groove ball bearings

Sealed deep groove ball bearings are one of the most common bearing types in the world. Millions are in use worldwide each day and many thousands have to be replaced annually each year. They are part of the single row deep groove ball bearings series which are also available as either open types where the balls are exposed or as shielded bearings where the grease is retained and some sealing protection is offered.

Sealed deep groove ball bearings are so versatile that they are used extensively in almost every piece of equipment that rotates from skateboards and bikes to cars, tractors and in most industrial equipment like conveyors or food processing equipment. Special versions of sealed deep groove ball bearings are manufactured depending specific application requirements.

They are made in both metric and inch sized bearings and with a range of internal clearances which can be utilised to either help reduce noise and vibrations by selecting a lower clearance bearing such as C2 bearing clearance or more standard clearances which cover most applications such as CN bearing clearance or C3 bearing clearance or applications which maybe require greater clearances such as high temperature applications may use one of either C4 bearing clearance, C5 bearing clearance, C5L bearing clearance, C5H bearing clearance so it doesn't matter which you have, the same clearance principles will follow.
