Product Overview: The RLS 04 Deep Groove Ball Bearing
The RLS 04 is a reliable, inch-sized single-row deep groove ball bearing, a key component in our RLS Series. With dimensions of 1/2" bore diameter (12.7mm), 1 1/8" outer diameter (28.575mm), and 5/16" thickness (7.938mm), this bearing is engineered for versatility and performance. Its deep raceway grooves enable it to support both radial and moderate axial loads in both directions, making it one of the most widely used bearing types. This simple, non-separable design is suitable for high-speed operation and requires minimal maintenance.
As a specialist supplier of industrial components, we provide high-quality RLS 04 bearings that meet stringent industry standards. Their straightforward design and cost-effectiveness make them a preferred choice for a vast range of mechanical and electrical applications.
