Deep groove ball bearings of Generation C were specially developed with a focus on low noise levels and low frictional torque. They are particularly suitable, for example, for use in electrical machinery, ventilators, washing machines and power tools. Thanks to design modifications such as improved bearing kinematics, new seals and cages as well as refined manufacturing processes, deep groove ball bearings of Generation C have numerous advantages. The bearing is quieter in operation due to the better quality of the balls, the optimized surfaces, the higher stability of the cage and the modified internal construction. The friction in the bearing is reduced by modified osculation and optimization of surfaces, waviness and roundness. Due to the lower friction, energy costs for operation are reduced. The reduced grease loss, better protection against contamination and reduced strain on the lubricant extend the grease operating life and thus the rating life of the bearing.
