Yes, deep groove ball bearings are designed to handle both radial and axial loads. They are capable of supporting radial loads, which are forces acting perpendicular to the shaft, as well as axial loads, which are forces acting parallel to the shaft.
The structure of a deep groove ball bearing allows it to accommodate both types of loads. The inner and outer rings of the bearing have raceways that are deep and continuous, enabling the balls to distribute and transmit the loads effectively.
In terms of radial loads, deep groove ball bearings can handle a range of magnitudes depending on their size, design, and materials. They are commonly used in applications where the primary load is radial, such as in electric motors, pumps, and conveyor systems.
For axial loads, deep groove ball bearings can handle them to some extent, but their ability to carry significant axial loads is limited compared to other specialized bearing types like thrust bearings. The axial load-carrying capacity of deep groove ball bearings depends on factors such as the bearing size, design, and the contact angle between the balls and raceways.
It's important to consider the expected load requirements of your specific application and consult the bearing manufacturer or a technical expert to ensure the deep groove ball bearing is suitable for the desired radial and axial load conditions.
