Ball Bearings

Ball bearings are rolling-element bearings that reduce friction and support both radial and axial loads. They consist of balls that maintain separation between two bearing races, with one race typically stationary and the other rotating. As the race rotates, the balls roll, minimizing friction. Though they have a lower load capacity due to smaller contact areas, ball bearings can handle slight misalignments between races. Orbit Bearings offers durable, precision-engineered ball bearings designed for efficiency and reliability across various applications.

Product Specification

Feature Description
Design Configuration Ball bearings consist of an inner ring, outer ring, balls, and a cage that holds the balls in place, ensuring smooth rotation and low friction.
Load Capacity Efficient in supporting both radial and axial loads, though they have a lower load capacity due to the small contact area between balls and races.
High-Speed Performance Engineered for high-speed applications, allowing for smooth and reliable operation in various dynamic environments.
Misalignment Tolerance Can accommodate slight misalignments between the inner and outer races, making them versatile and adaptable in different setups.
Durability Made from high-quality materials to ensure long service life and consistent performance even under demanding conditions.
Application Suitability Ideal for use in automotive, aerospace, electric motors, household appliances, and industrial machinery where efficiency and reliability are key.
