Extra Light series

1. Product Description

Single Row Deep Groove Ball Bearings – Extra Light Series are precision-engineered to deliver high-speed performance, low noise, and durability under radial and moderate axial loads. Ideal for compact assemblies, these bearings are lightweight, making them perfect for electric motors, pumps, fans, and gearboxes. Manufactured by Adarsh Bearings Pvt. Ltd., these bearings adhere to international ISO and ABMA standards and are distributed globally under the Locus Brand.

3. Working

These bearings support radial loads and limited axial (thrust) loads in both directions. The rolling element (steel balls) minimizes friction between the inner and outer raceways, enabling high-speed rotation with minimal heat generation and vibration.

4. Principle of Operation

The bearing works on the rolling contact principle, where balls roll between raceways of the inner and outer rings, separating the moving parts and reducing friction. The cage ensures uniform ball spacing, smooth rotation, and load distribution.

 5. Assembly Process

1. Insert balls into the outer race groove.
2. Position cage to maintain spacing.
3. Press inner ring into place using bearing presses.
4. Add shields/seals (ZZ or 2RS type).
5. Apply lubricant (grease or oil) as per spec.
6. Perform quality checks for clearance, noise, and balance.

6. Installation Process

1. Clean the shaft and housing bore thoroughly.
2. Align the bearing with the shaft using a mounting sleeve.
3. Apply even pressure using a press or heat shrink method (if interference fit).
4. Avoid tapping directly on the bearing rings or rolling elements.
5. Ensure no misalignment.
