Technical Overview
Ball bearings use balls as rolling elements and are characterised by point contact between the balls and the raceways. As a rule, ball bearings can rotate at very high speeds but have lower load capacity compared to roller bearings of the same size. ANDE manufactures a comprehensive range of ball bearings suitable for applications from small electric motors and household appliances to large industrial pumps and conveyor systems. Our product line includes deep groove ball bearings for general-purpose use, angular contact ball bearings for combined loads, self-aligning ball bearings for misalignment compensation, thrust ball bearings for axial load support, and four-point contact ball bearings for bidirectional axial loads. All ball bearings are manufactured from premium chrome steel (AISI 52100) or stainless steel (AISI 440C), with precision-ground raceways and optimized internal geometry for smooth, quiet operation and extended service life. Available in open, shielded, and sealed configurations with various cage materials including pressed steel and polyamide. All ball bearings conform to ISO 15:2017 dimensional standards and are available in precision classes from P5 (standard) through P2 for demanding high-speed applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between deep groove and angular contact ball bearings?
Deep groove ball bearings are general-purpose bearings that handle moderate radial and axial loads. Angular contact ball bearings have a contact angle (typically 15°–40°) that allows them to support higher axial loads in one direction, making them ideal for spindle assemblies, pumps, and paired mounting configurations.
What precision classes are available for ANDE ball bearings?
ANDE ball bearings are available in precision classes P5 (standard), P4 (high precision), and P2 (ultra-high precision) according to ISO 492. Higher precision classes offer tighter dimensional and running accuracy tolerances for applications such as CNC machine tool spindles and high-speed electric motors.
How do I select the right ball bearing size for my application?
Selection depends on four factors: required load capacity (both radial and axial), operating speed, available mounting space, and environmental conditions. Start with the equivalent dynamic load rating (C) and required life expectancy (L10), then verify the limiting speed. ANDE offers bore diameters from 3 mm to 200 mm to cover most industrial applications.
Can ball bearings handle axial loads?
Yes. Thrust ball bearings are designed exclusively for axial loads. Angular contact and four-point contact ball bearings handle combined radial and axial loads. Deep groove ball bearings can support light axial loads (up to approximately 50% of the remaining radial load capacity). For heavy bidirectional axial loads, four-point contact bearings are recommended.
What materials are ANDE ball bearings made from?
Standard ANDE ball bearings are manufactured from high-carbon chromium steel (AISI 52100 / GCr15) for optimal hardness and fatigue life. Stainless steel options (AISI 440C) are available for corrosive environments. Cages are available in pressed steel, machined brass, or polyamide (PA66) depending on application speed and temperature requirements.
