General machine assemblies
Deep groove ball bearings suit general machine assemblies and everyday rotating units. Confirm the exact execution, because nominally similar references can differ.

One project, three buying stages
Prototype, production and spares can sit in one project quote as separate quantities. This matrix shows what designers, buyers and planners define at each stage.
| What to define | Prototype | Production | Spares |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quantities | Small first-build quantity on its own line. | Series quantity, listed apart from the prototype. | Maintenance and replacement quantity, enquired separately. |
| Required date | The date the first build needs its parts. | Dates for each manufacturing stage, set by the planner. | The date the machine or stock needs the replacement. |
| Drawing revision | The revision the prototype is built to. | The revision the BOM and quote must match. | The revision, or a clear photo of the old bearing's markings. |
| Alternatives | State whether alternatives are allowed on each line. | The design engineer confirms the specification before purchasing proceeds. | Separately identified options proceed only with buyer approval. |
Plan every stage in one written quote
Each line shows the product designation, quantity, price and currency, availability, estimated lead time and quote validity.
Selection notes
Match the bearing type to the job on the shaft
The machine position points to the bearing family. Your design engineer then approves the exact specification and any proposed alternative.
Specified combined load arrangements
Angular contact ball bearings serve specified combined load arrangements. Enquire against the arrangement on your drawing, so every line matches the design.
Radial and axial loads on a shaft
Tapered roller bearings fit shafts that carry both radial and axial loads. For industrial drive positions, cylindrical roller bearings are the family to review alongside them.
Heavier machine assemblies
Spherical roller bearings suit heavier machine assemblies. These positions often use a sleeve and locking parts, so define the whole mounting along with the bearing.
Housed shaft support
Insert bearings and bearing units provide housed shaft support. Bearing housings carry their own designations, so give each one its own BOM line.
Complete assembly check
Enquire for the whole assembly, not only the bearing
Final assembly needs the mounting parts as well as the main bearing. Include them in your enquiry, and the assembly is confirmed as complete before you accept a quote.
- 1
Main bearing
The exact SKF execution, matched to your BOM line and drawing revision.
- 2
Sleeve
A separately designated part, and one that BOMs can leave out.
- 3
Locking components
Quote them with the main bearing, so assembly never waits on a missing part.
Buyer feedback
As a machine builder, we submit a bill of materials with ball, roller and mounted bearings all on one list. This supplier consolidated our SKF order into a single shipment, matched every line to our drawing spec, and delivered to our assembly plant on the confirmed date.
Erik Janssen We required SKF super-precision angular contact bearings for a new spindle line. They confirmed the matching arrangement, preload class and lubrication specification before we committed to the PO. The machines passed our final run-in test with margin to spare.
Michael Bauer Pricing on a production-quantity SKF deep groove bearing was competitive against our usual channel, and the packaging carried the genuine SKF hologram. Our quality team sampled the first batch and all measurements were within tolerance.
David Okafor FAQ
Questions on quantities, alternatives and documents
Settle these points early, and the quote stays aligned with your BOM, drawing revision and project schedule.
How should prototype and production quantities be separated?
List them as separate quantities in your enquiry, each with its own required date. Prototype, production and spares quantities can then appear separately in one project quote. Planners can see each manufacturing stage clearly.
What information is required before considering an alternative?
Provide the BOM line, drawing revision and the alternatives your project allows. Any separately identified option is reviewed before you accept a quote. Your design engineer confirms the specification, and technical changes need buyer approval.
What if the marking on an old bearing is incomplete?
Send a clear photo of the markings and note what needs confirming. The exact execution is then settled before you accept a product quote.
When are product documents confirmed?
Product documents are confirmed when you request the written quote, so name the ones you need in your enquiry. Transport documents are confirmed for each order, along with the shipping method and dispatch arrangements.
