Deep groove ball bearings are the most widely used bearing type, particularly for their versatility. They offer low friction and are optimized to reduce noise and vibration, enabling high speeds. They can accommodate radial and bidirectional axial loads, are easy to install, and require less maintenance than other bearing types.

The JOJI bearing catalog lists various designs, variants and sizes of deep groove ball bearings. In addition to the products listed in the catalog, JOJI deep groove ball bearings can be customized to bring benefits to applications with special performance requirements.

Design and variants

• Single row deep groove ball bearings
• Stainless steel deep groove ball bearings
• Single row deep groove ball bearings with ball filling gap
• Double row deep groove ball bearings

Self-aligning ball bearings have two rows of spherical rolling elements, with a common spherical raceway in the outer ring and two deep-groove, continuous raceways in the inner ring. They can be open or sealed. They accommodate large angular displacements of the shaft relative to the housing (fig. 1), for example, caused by shaft deflection.

JOJI angular contact thrust ball bearings are separable, meaning the washers, balls, and cage assemblies can be installed separately. Although these bearings were originally designed to support the rotary table of drilling rigs, they are also suitable for other applications.
