Deep Groove Ball Bearings[edit | edit source]

Our deep groove ball bearings deliver reliable performance in a wide range of applications and conditions. With super-finished raceways and controlled geometries, our premium design helps ensure consistent quality. Our portfolio includes standard, thin section, narrow, wide and miniature and extra-small deep groove ball bearings that span 3 mm to 400 mm bore sizes. The extended product line includes a complete offering of open, shields, seals and snap ring combinations.

Easy Interchange[edit | edit source]

Designed as metric bearings, our deep groove ball bearings follow ISO standards and are dimensionally interchangeable with competitor metric products.

Premium Lubricants[edit | edit source]

For reduced torque and a quieter operation, Mobil Polyrex™ EM premium lubricant comes standard on all Timken sealed and shielded deep groove ball bearings. This grease has a temperature range from -29° C to 177° C.

Brass Cage Availability[edit | edit source]

Deep groove ball bearings with brass cages (available in select sizes) can deliver extra strength and durability in the most unrelenting conditions: extreme shock loads, high vibrations and high forces due to acceleration.

Quiet Running for Electric Motor Quality[edit | edit source]

Deep groove ball bearings are frequently used in electric motor applications to minimize vibration and noise. To meet our long-standing electric motor quality guidelines we designed in:

  • Super finishing on raceways to reduce friction
  • Preferred clearance designation (C3)
  • Premium grease for high performance, low torque and less noise

Timken Corrosion-Resistant Deep Groove Ball Bearings[edit | edit source]

Food and beverage manufacturers and producers need premium products that deliver machinery uptime and food safety. You can meet these challenges head-on with Timken® corrosion-resistant deep groove ball bearings.

Constructed with stainless steel rings, balls and cages, these corrosion-resistant materials and food-grade lubricant can help elevate food safety and production uptime with improved reliability. Standard, thin-section, narrow and miniature constructions are offered in the following series and configurations:

  • 6000, 6200, 6300 and 600 series
  • Open design, double contact seals and double shields
  • Food-grade grease, food-grade Solid Lube; and general industrial grease

Product Advantages[edit | edit source]

  • Resist corrosion and improve metal detectability with stainless steel rings, balls and cages
  • Improve food safety with NSF H1 registered water-resistant grease for shielded and sealed bearings
  • Versatile Timken® Solid Lube is a grease alternative for harsh environments
  • Handle a wide range of operating temperatures with high-performance lubricants

Gain Solutions That:[edit | edit source]

Improve Food Safety

Our products meet stringent food safety legislation and regulations including compliance with FDA 21.CFR 178.3570. As a result, you can see gains in operational performance.

Reduce Maintenance

Premium products are designed to operate longer in demanding applications and environments.

Decrease Unplanned Downtime

Long-lasting products help you avoid sudden, expensive shutdowns. Head off costly changeouts with products designed to handle corrosive conditions and harsh chemicals.

Increase Overall Productivity

Our products are designed for efficiency. You can maintain optimum operating efficiency despite chemical washdowns and wet environments.

A Smart Fit[edit | edit source]

Our corrosion-resistant deep groove ball bearings are an ideal fit for a variety of applications:

  • Poultry deboning machines
  • Conveyor rolls
  • Form fill seal machines
  • Filling and seaming equipment
  • Combination weigher
  • Labeling equipment

Solid Lube[edit | edit source]

Timken FVSL613 Solid Lube, a grease alternative for harsh environments, is a micro-porous polymer structure combined with high-performance oils and additives.

The solid lubricant can contain up to three times as much oil as a similar volume of grease. Solid Lube completely fills the free volume in the bearing between the races, rolling elements and the cage.

During bearing rotation, the solid lubricant polymer releases the appropriate amount of oil to lubricate the rolling elements and raceways.

Timken Solid Lube Features:

Hygienic - Its unique makeup helps prevent lube from contaminating food products. Timken FVSL613 Solid Lube option contains an NSF H1-registered synthetic oil that complies with FDA guidelines for lubricants with incidental food contact under 21.CFR 178.3570.

Protected - Full-fill and large-oil reservoirs help guard against washdown and ingress of contaminants for safe and reliable operation.

Cost-effective - Timken Solid Lube can help reduce your operating costs and increase operational productivity.

Versatile - With a wide range of Solid Lube solutions, we can match application requirements, including industrial, high-temperature or extreme washdown environments.

Angular Contact[edit | edit source]

Timken angular contact ball bearings are designed for combination radial and axial loading. Single-row bearings have high thrust capacity in one direction. Some single-row bearings are specifically designed for duplex mounting in sets for maximum performance. Double-row Conrad bearings can accommodate thrust in both directions.

Size Range[edit | edit source]

  • Single-row: 10 mm – 150 mm (0.3937 in. – 5.9055 in.) bore
  • Double-row: 12 mm – 150 mm (0.4724 in. – 5.9055 in.) bore

Design Attributes[edit | edit source]

  • Specific geometry of angular contact bearing raceways and shoulders creates ball contact angles that support higher axial loads.
  • Expanded options include special lubricants, cage materials, preloads and coatings for additional corrosion resistance.
