The deep groove in a ball bearing is characterized by a raceway with a deep, concave profile that forms a continuous, circular track for the bearing's rolling elements, typically steel balls. This design feature allows the balls to move freely within the raceway, distributing the load evenly and minimizing friction during rotation. The deep groove also provides space for the lubricant, which helps to reduce wear and heat generation, ensuring the bearing's longevity and reliability.

New Bearing Technology Could Revolutionize Manufacturing Processes

   - Spherical Roller Bearings: Spherical roller bearings are well-suited for applications where heavy radial loads, shock loads, and moderate axial loads are present, and where misalignment accommodation is required.
