SKF Single row deep groove ball bearing with filling slots Steel Closure on both sides

The single-row deep groove ball bearings with filling slots have a filling slot on the i-race as well as on the o-race, so that more and larger balls can be accommodated than with standard deep groove ball bearings. These bearings have a higher radial load capacity than deep groove ball bearings without filling slots, though their axial load capacity is lower. They cannot be used at speeds as high as bearings without filling slots. Both open (unsealed) and sealed versions of the single-row deep groove ball bearings with filling slots are available. They are also available with a ring groove on the o-race and with (NR) or without (N) a matching locking ring. Bearings sealed on both sides have lifetime lubrication and therefore need not be regreased during use. They have been filled with the exact quantity of high-quality lubricant under controlled conditions.

Bearing with cover plates 2Z:
The cover plates, manufactured from sheet steel, are primarily suited to applications where the i-race of the bearing rotates. There is a sealing gap between the outer edge of the plate and the i-race. The clearance between the cover plate and the i-race is designed in such a way that no contact can be made, even if the bearing exhibits a large amount of radial play. To prevent corrosion, the cover plates are galvanized.
