Deep groove geometry for high speeds and supporting both radial and axial loadsChrome steel for durability and to deformity under heavy loadsMetal shields on both sides of the bearing to keep lubricant in and contaminants outLubricated at manufacturer for no additional lubrication requiredThis 604ZZ 4x12x4-millimeter shielded miniature ball bearing has deep groove geometry for high speeds and supporting both radial and axial loads. Its chrome steel construction makes it durable and resistant to deformity under heavy loads. Material: Bearing SteelColor: SilverThe metal shields on both sides of the bearing keep lubricant in and contaminants out, and it comes pre-lubricated from the manufacturer so that no additional lubrication is required. This deep-groove shielded miniature ball bearing is for use in applications that involve combined radial and axial loads and a need for high running accuracy at high rotational speeds. Such applications include clutches, drives, gearboxes, compressors, pumps, turbines, and printing and textile machines, among others.Rolling bearings use rolling elements to maintain the separation between moving parts to reduce rotational friction and support radial and axial loads. Sealed bearings are lubricated with oil or grease in the bearing factory, while open and shielded bearings are meant to be lubricated in place, with periodic reapplication of lubrication, based on use. The shield protects the working parts of the bearing from environmental debris that may be introduced and could reduce the ball bearing speed and lifespan. Rolling bearings are used in a range of applications from agricultural machinery to conveying equipment, robotics, dental equipment, elevators, rolling mills, rudder shafts, and aggregate crushers, among others.Package Contents: 10 x Deep groove ball bearingsNote: Light and different displays may cause the color of the item in the picture a little different from the real thing.
