Single row deep-groove ball bearing insert with set-screw locking. Selected when the duty calls for higher speeds, lower friction, and cooler operation than spherical roller solutions, with moderate radial load requirements. The set-screw locking allows fast assembly and in-place service on standard shafting.
Mounted in fully sealed AISI 316 stainless housings with the same washdown, marine, and corrosion-resistant performance as heavier insert types in the range. (Internal code: Type KV.)
Choose this insert when:
Consider an alternative when: radial load, shock load, or shaft misalignment exceed ball-insert ratings for the size (move to a spherical roller variant), or when set-screw access is blocked from the standard side (compare the reversed-lock variant).
The table lists each active catalogue SKU for this insert type with radial load, axial load, and maximum speed as defined for that exact unit (housing variant, seals, and size included). Use the search box to filter by SKU fragment, or open the product page for the full datasheet. You can also browse all options in the product configurator.
