SKF - Single Row Deep Groove Ball Bearings

Single row deep groove ball bearings are the most widely used bearing type (fig. 1). They are available capped (with seals or shields) or open. Open bearings that are also available capped may have recesses in the ring side faces (fig. 2). SKF inch bearings in the EE(B), RLS and RMS series are intended as aftermarket items and, therefore, SKF recommends not using these bearings for new bearing arrangement designs.
