Ball Bearings

Ball bearings, or deep-groove bearings, extend the working life of equipment by enabling wheels, pulleys, and other rotating parts to reduce friction and move smoothly. Ball bearings have a series of round balls encased in a housing and support high axial or low-to-moderate radial loads. Axial (thrust) bearings support loads parallel to the axis, such as those exerted by a table supporting a weight.Ball Bearings. Ball bearings reduce friction between shafts and axles and carry radial loads, thrust loads, or a combination of both. They contain an outer ring, inner ring, and a cage that holds and spaces bearing balls, the bearing's spherical rolling elements. These bearing balls must be perfectly rounded and spaced to prevent friction and bearing failure.

These balls are often used in bearings. Tight-Tolerance Hard Wear-Resistant E52100 Alloy Steel Balls. The diameter on these balls is held to a precise tolerance. Low-Carbon Steel Balls. Also known as mild steel, use these low-carbon steel balls in parts that don't require high strength.
