Radial Ball Bearings

Radial ball bearings use rolling elements to maintain the separation between moving parts to reduce rotational friction and support radial and axial loads, and are commonly used in applications such as transmissions, motors, pumps, bicycles, and inline skates.Radial bearings from Grainger can withstand heat, chemicals and corrosion, which can make them ideal for motors in the aerospace, agriculture and automotive industries. Radial ball bearings can perform well in contaminated environments because they have V-shaped grooves that can deflect dirt away. Choose from open and sealed types.

Radial ball bearings are used for reducing friction or axial loads in a variety of high speed rotary applications. Radial ball bearings are constructed of rolling balls that are held in place by inner and outer rings (raceways) and a cage.In these ball bearings, the direct line that connects the inner ring, balls, and outer ring has a given angle in the radial direction (the contact angle). This angle is generally designed with three kinds of contact angle.
