What are radial insert ball bearings? 

Radial insert ball bearings refer to single row mechanical bearing which possesses a solid outer ring and an extended inner ring. The inner ring can extend on either or both sides, and in the case of the latter option, less tilting and more effective operation are ensured. The radial insert ball bearings are ready-to-fit and feature plastic or steel cages, with type P, R, L, or T type seals.

Importance of radial insert ball bearings

The outer ring of a radial insert ball bearing is spherical or cylindrical, allowing easy compensation for any misalignment of the shaft. Not only that, these types of bearings can be fit easily into the shafts, being particularly compatible with h6 and h9. Thus, they offer high performance alongside greater precision, making them extremely important for a multitude of applications across different industries.

Applications of radial insert ball bearings

As mentioned above, radial insert ball bearings are suitable for a wide range of applications, especially where there's a high demand for exceptional performance, accuracy and efficiency. As such, these bearings are most extensively used in:

• Agriculture industry
• Automobile industry 
• Chemical industry
• Aerospace engineering 
• Construction equipment
