Full complement deep groove ball bearings 6800-V series with filling slots have a filling slot in both the inner and outer rings to accommodate more balls than standard deep groove ball bearings.

In a slot-fill radial bearing, the inner and outer races are notched so that when they are aligned, balls can be slipped in the slot to fill the bearing. A slot-fill bearing has the advantage that the entire groove is filled with balls, called a full complement, resulting in a higher radial load capacity than a Conrad bearing of the same dimensions and material type, but its axial load carrying capacity is limited. It is also unable to operate at the same high speeds as bearings without filling slots.

Deep groove ball bearings 6800 series with filling slots are available open or with shields on one or both sides. They are also available with or without a snap ring groove. Open bearings that are also available with shields may have recesses in the outer ring.

Application

The typical applications for the deep groove ball bearings includes transmissions, medical and dental equipment, slip joints, speed changers, lawn and garden equipment, elevators etc.
