Collection: Ball Bearings

Ball bearings are the most widely used bearing type, featuring hardened steel balls between inner and outer races to support radial loads and, depending on type, axial loads as well. They excel in high-speed applications due to low friction and are available open, shielded (ZZ) or sealed (2RS) to suit the operating environment.

To identify a standard metric ball bearing, read the designation: for bore codes 04 and above, the last two digits multiplied by 5 give the bore in millimeters (codes 00–03 mean 10, 12, 15 and 17 mm), while the leading digits give the series and therefore the cross-section and load capacity. Common applications include electric motors, pumps, conveyors, automotive components, and general industrial machinery where reliable rotation and long service life are essential.
