Groove ring - Import export

For certain applications, it may be appropriate to use ball bearings fitted with a snap ring fixed on the outer ring. The dimensions of the N groove and the snap ring R are are defined by the ISO 464 standard. The bearing is available in two versions, according to the customer’s requirements.

The manufacturing precision of the roller has a major influence on the quality of the final product (wires) as well as on the service life of the rollers. It is therefore essential that the ground “V” groove on the outer ring is machined and positioned precisely relative to the internal geometry. WIB only produces straightener roller bearings produced in this fashion, while many other producers machine the outer wire guide groove after assembly

Self-aligning ball bearings have two rows of balls, a common sphered raceway in the outer ring and two deep uninterrupted raceway grooves in the inner ring. This type of ball bearing is recommended when alignment of the shaft and housing is difficult, and the shaft may flex. Unlike a single row or double row ball bearing, the self-aligning bearing’s performance will not be affected by misalignment. Therefore, they are particularly suitable for application where misalignment can arise from errors in mounting or shaft deflection inherent in the application. These bearings are made with seal or without seal.
