Ball Bearings: Deep Groove Ball Bearings

Deep groove ball bearings are bearings in which the race, or bearing track, has a depth on the same order as the diamter of the balls. Deep groove ball bearings have a higher load rating than traditional ball bearings because of the groove depth. However, increased level of enclosure also makes deep groove bears less tolerant of misalignment conditions.
