The deep groove ball bearing is the most widespread type of bearing: two rings, a cage and a row of balls that support radial and axial loads in both directions. It is used in electric motors, pumps, fans, gearboxes and machine tools. At MR Accesorios Industriales we sell the NTN line, with metric sizes and light, medium and extra-light section series for different speed and load requirements.

The designation of these bearings is read by series. The 60 series is light section, the 62 medium and the 63 more robust; the 68 and 69 series are extra light, designed for reduced spaces. In the examples of this family, sizes such as 6008, 6009 and 6010 appear, where the first two digits indicate the series and the last two the bore diameter, according to the part number. Variants with a slash, such as 68/500, 68/530, 68/560 and 68/600, correspond to large bore diameters within the extra-light series, according to the part number. Suffixes indicate sealing, internal clearance or cage as applicable.

These bearings are found in almost all Argentine industry: electric motors, centrifugal pumps, fans, compressors, conveyor belts, machine tools and process equipment. Also in low and medium power applications where low friction and simple maintenance are needed. Being a mass-use product, they are commonly found both in new equipment and in maintenance replacements, and therefore the availability of sizes and variants is broad within the NTN line.

To choose well, consider the type of sealing: open, with metal shields or with rubber seals, depending on whether the environment has dust, humidity or splashes. Internal clearance and cage also influence speed and working temperature. During assembly, take care of alignment between supports, cleanliness of the shaft and housing, and correct fit, because excessive tightening or a blow to the balls shortens service life. Proper lubrication completes the assembly.

Interchangeability between brands is handled by designation and dimensions: a bearing of the 60, 62 or 63 series from one manufacturer can usually be replaced by the equivalent from another brand if bore, outer diameter and width match. When the part number is not enough, it is best to compare dimensions and sealing type. If you have the part number from another brand or an unidentified part, send us the data and we will indicate the compatible alternative.

The first two digits indicate the section series and the last two the bore diameter. The 60 series is light; within it, 6008, 6009 and 6010 correspond to different bore sizes. Send the complete part number via WhatsApp and we will quote it.
How do I choose between an open and a sealed bearing?
The open one is used when the lubricant is renewed frequently and the environment is clean. The sealed or shielded one protects better against dust and humidity. The choice depends on the equipment and the working environment. If in doubt, consult us with the part number and the application.
Can I replace a bearing from another brand with an NTN one?
Generally yes, if the main dimensions and sealing type match. The 60, 62 and 63 series have interchanges between manufacturers. Send the part number of the original part via WhatsApp and we will indicate the compatible NTN reference.
