BASIC MECHANICAL POWER TRANSMISSION DEVICES Types of Bearings
Single Row Radial Wide Type Bearings:-
Wide type bearings are similar to single row deep groove ball
bearings, having standard bore and outside diameter, but thickness is same as
double row bearings of corresponding sizes in inch dimensions. Extra thickness
in this bearing provides layer support area for shaft and housing contact and
also space for pre packed lubricant which has sufficient place for grease
expansion under agitation.
Due to wide play seal these bearings are suitable for electric motors where it
simplifies housing design. Bearings are also available in mechanic seals.
