How do double-row Radial Ball BEARING work?

Bearings are a mechanism used to reduce the friction between two objects in rotary or linear motion with each other.

In this video we will see the operation of the double row radial ball bearing, and in the videos of this playlist you can see the other kinds of bearing.

Jaes, leader in the industrial supplies sector for more than 10 years, has become the reference partner for some of the most important engineering companies by providing them with every kind of bearing.

Ball bearings are among the most widely used and well known.

As we have seen in our previous video, the single row radial ones can withstand radial loads well and light axial loads in both directions.

But to withstand very high radial loads, double row radial ball bearings have been developed.
Their design includes two rows of spheres arranged in two side-by-side grooves; even though they are wider than a single row ball bearing, they are still a more compact and reliable solution compared to using two single row bearings side by side, but they require greater precision in alignment.

This kind of bearings, thanks to the considerable radial load capacity, are employed in agricultural machinery, metalworking, gearboxes, and all heavy industrial applications in which classical single row radial bearings would not be enough.

Do you know why the self-aligning ball bearing was invented? Find out in the next video.

JAES E-Learning is JAES’s international technical education and knowledge-sharing project.

Through videos, 3D animations, and visual content, we explain components, machines, plants, processes, engineering, and technologies, including phenomena that are difficult to observe directly.

The project reaches millions of people through an international network of channels and multilingual content.

This is just one of the subjects we explore.
