3. Working
The deep groove design allows the balls to make close contact with the inner and outer raceways. This ensures:
The groove also supports moderate axial loads in both directions in addition to radial loads.
4. Principle
The bearing operates on the principle of rolling friction rather than sliding friction. Balls roll between inner and outer rings, reducing rotational resistance. The deep groove tracks help retain alignment and load stability.
