Single Row Deep Groove Ball Bearings with Snap Ring Groove on Outer Ring

The single row deep groove ball bearings have relatively deep raceways on both rings without a filling slot and are non-separable. High load ratings are achieved by optimum ball sizes and by their conformity to the raceways. They can carry axial and radial loads in both directions and are suitable even for high rotational speeds. These bearings are manufactured in a broad assortment and are the most common rolling bearing type.

Boundary dimensions

Boundary dimensions of the single row deep groove ball bearings given in the dimension tables with the exception of separable single row ball bearings of types E and BO, correspond to the international standard ISO 15. The snap ring groove dimensions comply with the international standard ISO 464.

Grease

For bearings sealed on both sides, the designation of the grease filling different from standard grease is indicated by a symbol combination the first two letters of which indicate the operating temperature range (a symbol in accordance with STN 02 4608) and the third symbol identifies the grease name.

TL - Grease for low operating temperatures (from -60°C up to 100°C)​
TM - Grease for medium operating temperatures (from -30°C up to 110°C)​
TH - Grease for high operating temperatures (from -30°C up to 200°C)​
TW - Grease for low and high operating temperatures (from -40°C up to 150°C)

Note: The symbols of greases for medium operating temeperatures need not be marked on the bearings.

Bearings with Snap Ring Groove

The single row deep groove ball bearings with a snap ring groove (N) can be axially fixed in the housings easily and without high requirements on the space available simplifying the arrangement design. For bearings with a groove in the outer ring, snap rings corresponding to STN 02 4605 are used (commercial designation R and the number indicating the outside diameter D of the corresponding bearing, e. g. R47). Bearings with a snap ring groove and a locking snap ring are designated by the suffix NR, e. g. 6204NR. Locking snap rings for the bearings with a snap ring groove are supplied separately.

The bearings with a snap ring groove can also be supplied in the modification with shields or seals (ZN, -2ZN or RSN, -2RSN). The supply of these bearings must be negotiated in advance.

Tapered bore

For some less demanding applications, e. g. in agricultural machines, etc., some sizes of single row deep groove ball bearings of type 62 and 63 with a tapered bore (K), taper 1:12, are manufactured. These bearings are also manufactured in a design with shields on both sides. The bearings are fixed on the cylindrical shaft by means of adapter sleeves of types H2, H3 or directly on the tapered shaft.

Cages

The single row deep groove ball bearings of the basic design are equipped with a pressed cage made of steel sheet, guided on balls, which is not designated.

These bearings are produced with different types of cages for special applications. Namely, bearings with a solid polyamide cage (TNH, TNGH) and a machined brass cage (M). The supply of these bearings should be negotiated in advance.

Precision

The limiting values of the dimensional and running accuracy deviation correspond to ISO 492. An exception is made only for the Single row deep groove ball bearings are commonly manufactured within the tolerance class P0 and P6. For special applications requiring high accuracy or for applications with a high rotational speed, the bearings in the higher tolerance classes P6, P5 and P4 are used. The bearings in higher tolerance class P6E are used for rotating electric machines.

The limiting values of the dimensional and runing accuracy deviation correspond to ISO 492. An exception is made only for the separable single row ball bearings of types E or B0 the outer diameter D of which has the limiting deviation +0.01/0.00 mm.

The bearings in the tolerance classes P5 and P4 are made of higher quality materials such as electroslag or vacuum remelted bearing steels.

Radial clearance

The commonly manufactured single row deep groove ball bearings have a normal radial clearance which is not indicated. For special arrangements the bearings with a reduced radial clearance (C2) or with an increased radial clearance (C3, C4, C5) are supplied.

Vibration level

The currently manufactured single row deep groove ball bearings have a normal vibration level determined by the manufacturer. For special applications with high requirements on noisless operation, bearings with reduced vibration level are supplied (C6).

Symbol combination

The symbols for the tolerance classes, bearing internal clearances and vibration levels are combined with the simultaneous omission of the symbol C in the second and the following bearing special characteristics, e. g.:

P6 + C3 = P63                6004 P63

C3 + P6 = C36                6303-2RS C36

P6 + C3 + C6 = P636      6204-2Z P636

Stabilisation for Operation at Higher Temperature

For arrangements with a higher operating temperature than 120°C, special heat treated-stabilised-single row deep groove ball bearings are supplied the form stability of which at operating temperature 150°C up to 400°C (S0, S1, S2, S3, S4, S5) is ensured.

The supply of stabilised bearings should be negotiated with the supplier in advance.

Misalignment

For single row deep groove ball bearings only small mutual misalignment of bearing rings is permissible, therefore alignment deviation of seating surfaces can be very small. Misalignment causes additional loading of the bearing and thus its life is shortened.

Values of permissible misalignment at normal operating conditions are shown in the table.
