Also verify the housing bore matches the outer diameter (22–42 mm depending on size) and that the width (6–9 mm) fits your application's axial space. When in doubt, measure the existing bearing with calipers before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan these bearings handle axial (thrust) loads?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-faq-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, to a moderate degree. Deep groove ball bearings are primarily designed for radial loads, but their deep raceway geometry allows them to carry axial loads in both directions — typically up to 50% of the dynamic radial load rating in light-duty applications. For applications with heavy or dominant axial loads, a dedicated angular contact or thrust bearing is recommended instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eAre these bearings suitable for marine or saltwater environments?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-faq-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStainless steel bearings perform significantly better than carbon steel in marine environments. 304 SS offers the strongest resistance to saltwater corrosion among the two grades listed.

For open (unshielded) bearings, apply a light machine oil or NLGI #2 grease appropriate for your operating temperature and speed. In food-processing or pharmaceutical environments, use an NSF H1-rated food-grade lubricant.
