Ball Bearings

Arrow Engineering supplies a comprehensive range of Ball Bearings in both metric and imperial sizes, ready for fast UK delivery. From standard Deep Groove Ball Bearings to Angular Contact, Miniature, Stainless Steel, and One-Way Clutch designs — we provide reliable products for every industry and application.

Ball Bearings are designed to reduce friction between moving parts and allow smooth rotation at high speeds. They are widely used in electric motors, pumps, conveyors, gearboxes, food & beverage machinery, agricultural equipment, and domestic appliances.

If you need help selecting the correct bearing size, clearance (e.g., C3), or sealing type (ZZ / 2RS), our technical team is always happy to assist.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between ZZ and 2RS ball bearings?
ZZ bearings use metal shields to protect against dust and debris. 2RS bearings have rubber seals that provide better protection against water and contaminants.

What does C3 clearance mean?
C3 clearance allows extra internal space for thermal expansion and higher rotational speed — ideal for electric motors and high-speed machinery.

Do you supply imperial ball bearings?
Yes — we stock imperial sizes for older industrial machinery and pumps used across the UK.

Can I get trade or bulk pricing?
Yes — we offer trade accounts and competitive pricing for bulk bearing orders. Contact us for details.
