A flanged ball bearing is not truly a different type of bearing. Just as ball bearings are offered sealed or open, they are also available flanged or plain. The flange is just another option given to the design engineer by the bearing manufacturer. A flange is an extension, or a lip, on the outer ring of the bearing, designed to aid the mounting and positioning of a bearing in a delicate or problematic application.
Flanged bearings are most commonly used when the application requires the bearing to be locked in place. The design engineer will want to lock the bearing axially, along the shaft, or perpendicular to the shaft, radially, depending on his application. A flanged bearing is used in this instance to help withstand axial thrusting. If there is any axial load or axial push on the bearing, the flange will prevent the bearing from moving axially.
Any application that will require a bearing to be mounted in a high vibration area, as well as any application that requires high axial loads, will benefit from using a flanged bearing
Flanged bearings are most commonly used in light duty applications, such as food processing machinery, conveyors, material handling, belt drives in HVAC, textile, baggage systems, medical processing and various other light duty industrial applications.
Deep groove ball bearing is one of the most widely used rolling bearings. It is characterized by small friction resistance and high speed. It can be used to bear radial load or combined load of radial and axial at the same time. It can also be used to bear axial load.
The basic deep groove ball bearing consists of an outer ring, an inner ring, a group of steel balls and a group of retaining frames.
There are two types of deep groove ball bearings:Single row and Double row. The structure of deep groove ball can be divided into sealed and open type. Open type means that the bearing does not have a sealed structure. Sealed deep groove ball can be divided into dust-proof seal and oil-proof seal.
Compared with other types, deep groove ball bearing is easy to achieve higher manufacturing accuracy due to its simple structure, so it is convenient for series mass production with low manufacturing cost and widely used. Deep groove ball bearing can be used for gearbox, instrument, motor, household appliances,internal combustion engine, traffic vehicles, agricultural machinery, construction machinery, engineering machinery.
