all versions as required by your application.
Using GRW Si3N4 ceramic balls reduces load rating by
30 %, while the dynamic load rating remains unaffected.

The low affinity to other materials allows a particularly low

adhesive wear. As a result, hybrid or ceramic bearings
provide extended lifetime run times when used in mixed-
torque applications.

With greased bearings, the specified quantity of lubricant,

lubricant is injected from only one side, however it is also
possible to lubricate each bearing from both sides for
better distribution.
For lubrication with standard oils, the oil is poured over
the bearing which is then spun. Alternatively, a specified
oil quantity can be directly injected into the bearing.

Special installation configurations
Flanged bearings
Using miniature and instrument bearings with a flange on
the outer ring offers several advantages.
Stepped housing bores, which make it impossible or very
difficult to maintain accurate alignment of both bearing
fits, are no longer necessary. There is also no need for the
use of circlips, which create difficulties in small housing Proper installation, general
bores or thin-walled housings.

Flanged bearings assembled in narrow housings, such as

gearboxes, are particularly effective.

Assembly in narrow housings

With paired bearings, the use of a flanged bearing simplifies

the proper assembly and alignment of the bearing.
This allows for the accurate axial positioning of the Duplex
bearing pair.

Application of a Duplex bearing

Bearings with extended inner rings

Bearings with an extended inner ring simplify design and
mounting of various assemblies. Shims, washers and
other spacers are not necessary. Stepped shafts are
also redundant.
Bearings with extended inner ring

Bearings with reinforced outer ring

Ball bearings whose outer rings are supported by the proper
housing fit can withstand the highest loads. To increase
the load capacity of a bearing which is not pressed into
a housing, it takes advantage of a reinforced outer ring.
These types of bearings can be used as “rollers“.

using preloaded bearing pairs (see chapter Duplexed

of the elastic yield, resulting in increased stiffness, but
also in a nearly linear relationship between loading and

the balls to lose contact with the raceway transferring

Duplexing of these bearings is performed by loading

faces of both rings are flush. Preload and contact angle are generally standardized
for spindle bearings. GRW’s standard contact angles

affect the expected life of the bearing.

To achieve, an identical fit for both bearings, Duplex
bearings are sorted into two groups. The bore and outer
diameters are packaged in pairs with bearings from the
same group. To take full advantage of these duplexed pairs,
they should also be mounted with calibrated shafts and
„
housings (see chapter Calibration of bore and outside
diameters“).
Bearing fits should be carefully selected
because an interference fit on the inner or
outer ring will change the preload.

Installation and configuration of duplex bearings
O (<>) arrangement: Back to back
(designation –1 and DB for spindle bearings)
With this bearing configuration, the inner rings are designed
to be clamped together. The contact angle load path
between the outer ring raceway, the ball and the inner
ring raceway diverge, which results in maximum stability
and stiffness against any moment loading. Radial and axial
loads can be taken in both directions.
without preload preloaded

X (><) arrangement: Face to face

(designation –2 and DF for spindle bearings)
With this bearing configuration, the outer rings are designed
to be clamped together. The load path converges resulting in
less stability and a lower stiffness against moment loading.
This design more easily compensates for any misalignment of
the assembly. Radial and axial loads can likewise be taken in
both directions.
without preload preloaded

Tandem (>>) or (<<) arrangement

(designation –3 and DT for spindle bearings)
The tandem-mounted bearing design is capable of taking a
significantly higher axial load, but only in one direction. With
this type of bearing, preloading and control of axial play can
only be achieved by preloading against another bearing pair.

General: Bearings with these pairing configurations

are packed in pairs or sets and must not be mixed. without preload preloaded

Universal
(designation –4 and U for spindle bearings)
Universally matched bearing pairs have a significant
advantage compared to the duplexed designs described
above. They are individually ground in such a way that
they can be assembled in various pairing configurations,
e.g. X, O, or tandem configuration without any loss in per-
formance. With the same preload, these single bearings
can be interchanged without any problems. without preload preloaded

Profiled rollers
Profiled rollers are double-row ball bearings; which me-
ans they are able to accept axial loads in both direc-
tions, as well as high radial loads. Usually, the contact
surface is shaped like a Gothic arch; the contact surface
and shaft touch each other in two locations.
On request, other contour surface designs are available
(e.g. V groove, spherical outer ring, etc.).
Inner and outer rings can be made of chrome steel
100Cr6 or corrosion-resistant chrome steels X65Cr13
or X30CrMoN 15-1. Balls can be made of chrome steel
100Cr6, X65Cr13 or ceramic.
GRW profiled rollers have non-contact shields. On
request, contact seals (e.g. Teflon®, NBR) are available
as an alternative. The rollers are lubricated for life and
are also available with FDA-approved and/or auto-
clavable lubricants.
For further information please contact your nearest
GRW Sales Representative.

Thin-section bearings
Thin-section bearings are bearings with very thin ring
cross-sections (light ISO dimension series 67/68) or
bearings with identical cross-sections, independent of
their bore diameter (inch series: Extra Thin Series,
Thin Series).
In addition to their small footprint and low weight, they
are characterized by low torque and high rigidity.
Thin-section bearings are available in the following
versions: open (standard), with closures, with an exten-
ded inner ring, with a flanged outer ring and as an an-
gular contact or full-complement bearing at a maximum
outside diameter of 40 mm.
The closures are available in -2Z and -2TS versions.
By default, thin-section bearings are all ABEC5. Please
inquire about other available versions (e.g. Superduplex)
ABEC7, and ABEC9.

Special ball bearings
GRW develops and produces a complete range of custom
bearing options.

Superduplex bearings
Superduplex bearings are also known as double row deep-
groove ball bearings or angular contact ball bearings featuring
split inner or outer rings. One of the ring sets, either outer or
inner, consist of a double row integral set of raceways.
This compact design permits easy handling and assembly.
The inner or outer split rings are paired according to customer
specifications ensuring that GRW bearings will meet the
required axial preload.

Extraduplex bearings
Extraduplex bearings are double-row deep groove radial
bearings or angular contact ball bearings with a split inner or
outer ring. One floating ring is accurately preloaded and then
laser-welded in place. This style of bearing prevents radial off-
set or changes in axial preload during assembly.

Tandemduplex bearings
Tandemduplex bearings are designed with double-row deep-
groove bearings. The raceways are extremely close to each
other (in the micron range). These bearings are designed to
handle both radial loads and axial loads in one direction by
ensuring that the load is evenly distributed to all balls.

Bearings with custom outer geometries

GRW can produce single or double-row bearings with a spherical
faced or grooved outer ring and also can provide molded and
plastic rubber type assemblies.

76 |  Contact USA: +1 860.769.3252 · www.grwbearing.com

Integrated shaft bearings
Bearing and shaft can be combined to provide an integrated
assembly. In this design the raceway is ground on the shaft
and the bearing assembly is delivered completely assembled
ready to use.

Bearing / housing assemblies

For these special designs, the raceway of the outer ring is
ground directly into the housing. Complex housings, flanges and
threaded mounting holes maintain the tight tolerances
necessary for proper installation.

Precision components
GRW manufactures precision spacers and precision components that incorporate threads, steps,
grooves, bores, etc. to tolerances in the micron (µ) range.

Bearing units
Bearing units are pre-mounted assemblies, comprising • Depending
 on the application requirements, other
of at least one ball bearing, shaft or housing, optional functional elements may be integrated in the bearing
spacers, shims or spring washers. units, for example springs and seals.
GRW assembles the stacked components in bearing
units primarily by using adhesives. Backlash free bearing
units are produced cost effectively by precisely gluing the
bearings under an axial pre-load. GRW has enginee-
red special gluing equipment and techniques to ensure
high accuracy and strength.
When using GRW bearing units, customers will profit
from the following benefits:

• Cost
 advantages by eliminating possibility of
improper customer assembly.
• Pre-mounted
 units are easier to handle than
single bearings.
• At
 GRW the bearings are mounted in a clean room
under optimum conditions.

has made applications possible even at temperatures of information you can find on the following pages.
-270 °C to +400 °C or in a high vacuum.

Protection against wear is also an advantage of

using thin coated bearings. Raceways, balls, or outer
surfaces can be thinly coated to meet each application’s
requirements. Possible uses for these types of coatings
are profiled rollers, paper cutting blade wheels, bearings
used in chemical or food processing industry, medical
instruments, aerospace and vacuum technology.

termined reference.
For evaluation of the performance characteristics of the
entire system, the test process in respect of the me-
chanical load cycle and test criteria can be parameter-
ized and is thus objectively reproducible. Calibration,
test parameter settings and documentation of results
are carried out on a commercially available PC. The ac-
tual test is carried out self-sufficiently.

Benefits:
• Up to 7,000 cycles can be executed without interrup-
tion.
• Uniform test process can be exactly reproduced.

Measurement Principle
A test probe or a motor shaft is magnetized by means
of the attached permanent magnet. The sensor is po-
sitioned 1 to 10 mm away from the magnetized shaft.
When the shaft rotates, the weak magnetic field is re-
corded by the special GRW sensor, then amplified and
displayed in RPM, or revolutions per minute.
The non-contact measurement is designed for speeds
from 20,000 to 600,000 min-1.

Our Standard packaging options are as follows:

„
Strip Packaging CP“
Our standard packaging contains ball bearings in one
strip or pill pack, sealed individually in transparent
synthetic film packets with a white backing. The quan-
tity per strip depends upon the outside diameter of
the bearing.

„
Vacuum Packaging LL“
Bearings are bulk packaged in a transparent synthetic
film pack and sealed under vacuum. The quantity per
vacuum pack depends on the size of the bearing or as
specified by the customer.

„
Spindle bearing Packaging CP1P“
Spindle bearings are packed in a separate envelope
‚
marked GRW‘ (CP1) and boxed individually (CP1P) to
avoid damage.

Special Packaging
GRW offers a wide range of packaging options based
upon our customer‘s requests and the requirement

Manufacturing in a Nut Shell
GRW high-precision ball bearings are used in a variety of
industries and applications.
Before they leave our factory, they have passed several com-
plex manufacturing steps.
Their journey starts in the turning department where our high-
precision turning machines produce bearing rings from a variety
of steels used by GRW.

Honing is the last step before assembly. The finished, bearing

rings run through a final process on machines co-developed
by GRW for surface finishing of the raceways.

During the final assembly, finished components are sor-

ted and selected to guarantee customer satisfaction and in
some cases automated assembly can be used to assemble,
lubricate and package bearings.
