Ball Bearings are simple and the most versatile Rolling Bearings used in a wide variety of applications. Ball Bearings are classified into Radial and Thrust Ball Bearings based on their Primary Load Carrying Direction.
Radial Ball Bearings are primarily designed to Carry Load in the Radial Direction. However, depending on the design, Ball Bearings can also support significant Axial Load in addition to Radial Load. The Inner and Outer Ring feature Raceway Grooves on the Circumference that closely conform to the Balls.
Thrust Ball Bearings are designed to Carry Load in the Axial Direction with No Radial Load Capacity. The Rings feature Raceway Grooves on the Opposing Faces that closely conform to the Balls.

Deep Groove Ball Bearing
Deep Groove Ball Bearing
Deep Groove Ball Bearings are simple and the most Versatile Rolling Bearings used in a wide variety of applications. The Inner & Outer Ring features Deep Raceway Grooves that closely conform to the Balls providing Good Axial Load Carrying Capacity, in addition to Radial Loads.
The Rolling Resitance in Deep Groove Ball Bearings is Very Low compared to other Rolling Bearings and therefore are suitable for High Speed & Low Starting Torque Applications. Super Finished Raceways and High Grade Balls make them Quiet in Operation and Low in Vibration.
Deep Groove Ball Bearings require Minimal Maintenance and are Robust in Operations.
Single Row Deep Groove Ball Bearing
These Ball Bearings are the simplest of all Rolling Bearings featuring Single Raceway Grooves in the Inner & Outer Rings
Double Row Deep Groove Ball Bearing
These Ball Bearings feature Double Raceway Grooves in the Inner & Outer Rings, each with a set of Rolling Elements
Wide Deep Groove Ball Bearing
These Ball Bearings feature Wider than Normal Inner & Outer Rings with Single Raceway Grooves

Angular Contact Ball Bearing
Angular Contact Ball Bearing
Angular Contact Ball Bearings have the Inner Ring & Outer Ring Raceways that are Offset Relative to each other in the Axial Direction. As a result, the Line through the Points of Contact between the Ball and the Raceways is not Perpendicular to the Bearing Axis but makes an Angle less than 90 Degrees and is defined as the Contact Angle. This means that they can carry Significant Axial Loads alongwith Radial Loads.
The Axial Load Carrying Capacity of Angular Contact Ball Bearings increases with increasing contact angle. Since an axial component is generated when a radial load is applied, these Bearings are generally used in Pairs or Sets.
Like Deep Groove Ball Bearings, the Rolling Resitance in Angular Contact Ball Bearings is also Very Low making them Highly Suitable for High Speed and Low Starting Torque applications. Super Finished Raceways & High Grade Balls make them Quiet in Operation & Low in Vibration.
Single Row Angular Contact Ball Bearing
These Ball Bearings have Single Raceway Grooves in the Inner & Outer Rings that are relatively offset. These Bearings can support Axial Loads in One Direction Only
Double Row Angular Contact Ball Bearing
These Ball Bearings have Two Raceway Grooves each in the Inner & Outer Rings that are offset relatively in opposing directions. These Bearings can therefore support Axial Loads in Both Directions
Four - Point Angular Contact Ball Bearing
These Ball Bearings have a Single Outer Ring & a Split Inner Ring. The Raceway Profiles are such that the Ball Contacts the Outer Ring at Two Points & the Split Inner Ring at One Point each.
Such a Design allows the bearing to carry Axial Loads in Both the Directions like a Double Row without taking up as much Axial Space. These Bearings can support Light Radial Loads

Thrust Ball Bearing
Thrust Ball Bearing
Thrust Ball Bearings are designed to carry Axial Loads with No Radial Load Carrying Capacity. They comprise of a Shaft Washer, a Housing Washer and a Ball & Cage Assembly. These Bearings have Raceways on the Face & the Washers and are separable.
Single Direction Thrust Ball Bearing
These Thrust Ball Bearings are able to carry Axial Loads in One Direction only, with No Radial Load Carrying Capacity.
These Bearings consists of One Shaft & One Housing Washer along with a Ball & Cage Assembly.
Double Direction Thrust Ball Bearing
These Thrust Ball Bearings are able to carry Axial Loads in Both the Directions, with No Radial Load Carrying Capacity.
These Bearings consists of Two Housing Washer along with Two Sets of Ball & Cage Assembly which are seperated by the Shaft Washer.
Full Complement Thrust Ball Bearing
These Thrust Ball Bearings are designed to carry Axial Loads with No Radial Load Carrying Capacity.
They comprise of One Shaft Washer with Inside Diameter Slightly Smaller than the Housing Washer, One Housing Washer with Outside Diameter Slightly Larger than the Shaft Washer, and a Full Complement of Balls.
Angular Contact Thrust Ball Bearing
Angular Contact Thrust Ball Bearing
Angular Contact Thrust Ball Bearings are designed to carry Axial Loads with Small Radial Load Carrying Capacity. They comprise of a Shaft Washer, a Housing Washer and a Ball & Cage Assembly. These Bearings have Raceways on the Face & the Washers and are separable.
Single Direction Angular Contact Thrust Ball Bearing
These Angular Contact Thrust Ball Bearings are High Precision Bearings and feature Angular Raceways of Shaft & Housing Washers and a resulting Force - Transferring Contact Angle.
This Contact Angle has an angle of 60° and facilitates the Absorption of High Axial Forces as well as Radial & Combined Forces.
Double Direction Angular Contact Thrust Ball Bearing
These Angular Contact Thrust Ball Bearings are High Precision Bearings and feature Angular Raceways of Two Housing Washers, One Shaft Washer, One Spacer and Two Sets of Ball & Cage Assembly and a resulting Force - Transferring Contact Angle.
This Contact Angle has an angle of 60° and facilitates the Absorption of High Bi - Directional Axial Forces. These Bearings have No Radial Load Carrying Capacity.
Thin Section Ball Bearing
Thin Section Ball Bearing
Thin Section Ball Bearings are similar to Single Row Deep Groove Ball Bearings & Single Row Angular Contact Ball Bearings except with a much Smaller Cross Section. Furthermore, the Cross Section remains Constant & does Not Increase with the Bore Diameter and therefore, these Bearings are also known as Constant Section Ball Bearings.
Thin Section Ball Bearings are suitable for applications where the Space between the Shaft & the Housing is limited and a Normal Deep Groove Ball Bearing or a Normal Angular Contact Ball Bearing cannot be used.
Radial Thin Section Ball Bearing
These Thin Section Ball Bearings are designed with Deep Ball Grooves to withstand High Loads. Although these Bearings are used primarily in applications with Radial Loads, it can withstand Moderate Axial Loads, Reversing Axial Loads and Moment Loads.
Angular Contact Thin Section Ball Bearing
These Thin Section Ball Bearings are designed for applications with High Axial Loads. These Bearings also works well in Radial or Combined Radial - Thrust Applications.
These Bearings should never be used alone to support Moment Loads or Reversing Axial Loading. Two Bearings are often used as a Duplex Pair.
Four - Point Thin Section Ball Bearing
These Thin Section Ball Bearings are ideal for Moment Loading. These Bearings are designed with Gothic Arch Raceways creating Four Contact Points between the Balls & the Raceways.
This design is Excellent for Moment & Reversing Axial Loading. These Bearings can be used for other Light Loading Conditions, but is Not Recommended for Pure Radial Loads.
