Radial Deep Groove Ball Bearings – UK Distributor & Stockist

Radial deep groove ball bearings are essential elements in mechanical engineering, designed to carry both radial and axial loads efficiently. Widely used across industries – from automotive and home appliances to pumps, fans and electric motors – our range delivers reliable performance where it counts.

Radial Deep Groove Ball Bearings by IEC LTD

Value Without Compromise

Radial deep groove ball bearings consist of an inner ring, outer ring, steel balls and a cage for even spacing. Their deep groove raceways ensure precision and durability – ideal for high-speed applications.

Available in a wide selection of sizes, configurations and materials, our radial deep groove ball bearings perform reliably under high temperature, speed and load conditions. Whether you need single- or double-row, open, sealed or shielded variants, our range offers flexibility and dependable handling for your specific requirements.

Effective for Radial and Axial Forces

Our high-precision miniature radial deep groove ball bearings are engineered to manage radial loads and, to a lesser degree, axial loads. Radial forces act perpendicular to the shaft axis, while axial forces run parallel – our bearings can accommodate both effectively.

How Are Our Radial Deep Groove Ball Bearings Designed?

GRW radial deep groove ball bearings – supplied by IEC – are single-row bearings offered in open, sealed or shielded versions. Their design includes:

  1. Inner and outer rings in chrome steel (100Cr6), with optional corrosion-resistant steels (SS X65Cr13 or SV X30CrMoN15-1).

  2. Ball sets in ceramic or steel for optimal durability.

  3. Retaining cages made of sheet steel or plastic, in single- or two-part designs.

  4. A choice of over 300 lubricants from the GRW range.

  5. Seals and shields in non-corrosive materials – sheet steel, Teflon-coated fibreglass fabric, Perbunan or fluorocaoutchouc.

Product:
Bearings
Application:
High pressure pure air generators
Challenge:
High pressure pure air generators are designed to replace rechargeable gas bottles on modern military aircraft. The system draws in atmospheric air to provide a continuous supply of high-pressure pure air, which results in unlimited mission duration and eliminates the logistics burden associated with gas bottles.
Solution:
For critical applications, reliability and resilience is paramount. IEC supplied components are capable of operating with high degrees of accuracy under extreme load.
Bearings for Electric Motors
Product:
Bearings
Application:
Co-ordinate measuring machines (CMM)
Challenge:
5-axis measurement represents the biggest step-change in measurement capability ever introduced, delivering unprecedented speed and measurement flexibility, whilst avoiding the speed versus accuracy compromises inherent in conventional techniques.
Solution:
Duty of CMMs is generally low hence there is intermittent operation of bearings. Machines do require high reliability so products are tested and developed continuously, meaning technical support from bearing OEMs is critical. Some bearings are supplied with specific profiled outer ring designs.
Product:
Bearings
Application:
Peristaltic pump
Challenge:
Peristaltic pumps use occlusion rollers and positive displacement to feed fluid in industrial and medical applications, regulating flow and eliminating the need for valves. Bearings fitted in occlusion rollers have a cycle of coming on and off load with the potential to skip.
Solution:
It is important to select a bearing with high quality machining of its raceways to allow the bearing to readily accept these changes in state.
