How does Deep groove ball bearings with filling slots work?

In mechanical transmission systems, bearings, as key components, undertake the important tasks of supporting rotating parts, transmitting force and motion. Among them, Deep groove ball bearings with filling slots have been widely used in various types of mechanical equipment due to their simple structure, strong load-bearing capacity and wide range of applications. A special form of deep groove ball bearings, deep groove ball bearings with filling slots, further improve the performance and working efficiency of bearings through their unique design.

Deep groove ball bearings with filling slots are based on traditional deep groove ball bearings with specific filling slots added. These filling slots are usually located on the outer or inner ring of the bearing. The shape and position vary according to the specific design, but the purpose is to optimize the lubrication and load-bearing performance of the bearing. The design of the filling slot increases the surface area of ​​the bearing and provides additional storage space for lubricants, allowing the bearing to continue to obtain good lubrication during operation.

When a deep groove ball bearing with filling slots starts working, its internal mechanism begins to work. The rolling elements roll on the raceway between the inner and outer rings, transmitting force and motion from the shaft or bearing seat. In this process, the lubricant in the filling groove plays a vital role. One of the main functions of the lubricant is to reduce the friction and wear between the rolling element and the raceway. In deep groove ball bearings with filling grooves, due to the presence of the filling grooves, the lubricant can be more evenly distributed between the raceway and the rolling element, forming a thin oil film. This oil film can effectively reduce the friction coefficient, reduce energy loss and heat generation, and prevent direct contact between metal parts, thereby extending the service life of the bearing. The filling groove also has a certain oil storage function. During the operation of the bearing, due to the centrifugal force, some lubricants may be thrown out of the bearing. The filling groove can capture these lost lubricants and release them back between the raceway and the rolling element when needed, ensuring that the bearing always maintains a good lubrication state.

The good lubrication performance and load-bearing capacity of deep groove ball bearings with filling grooves have been widely used in many fields. In the automotive industry, they are used to support and transmit key components such as engines and transmissions; in machine tool manufacturing, they undertake the support tasks of high-precision rotating components such as spindles and feed shafts. In addition, this type of bearing also plays an indispensable role in the aerospace, wind power, metallurgy and other industries.

Through its unique design and working principle, deep groove ball bearings with filling grooves provide a strong guarantee for the stable operation and high efficiency of mechanical equipment. In the future development, with the continuous progress of material science, lubrication technology and manufacturing process, the performance and application range of this type of bearing will be further expanded and improved.
