You will find that most reel companies place ball bearings at several locations within a reel. Where there are rotating parts in contact with one another you can find ball bearings. The number can range from three to as many as eleven. There are spool, clutch, knob and frame bearings for example. 

Most reels today, particularly high grade reels whether spinning or baitcasting, use precision, stainless steel "radial ball bearings". However, more and more solid and ceramic coated bearings are making the scene. The radial ball bearing units we're talking about consist of an inner and outer ring within which is a cage, made of plastic or steel, containing a number of precision balls. The cage functions to keep the balls separated. These fishing reel skf bearing units are usually of deep-groove construction which accommodates both radial and axial loads common with fishing reels. 

SRG is a well-known manufacturer of precision ball bearings in china.

• Meets requirements with continuous modernization and strict quality control.

• Produces for major bearing manufacturer.

• Main applications are: 

automobiles, office equipment, electric motors, household instruments, agricultural machines and many others.

• Capable of manufacturing special purpose and newly designed bearings.

• Manufactures 6000-6300 (metric radial ball), 5200 (double row angular), 160 & 6800-6900 (thin metric radial ball), R (inch series), EE (inch series), RLS (inch series), 1600 (inch precision series), 16000 (narrow width), 62200-63000 (euro width), 8000 & 87000 (extended inner ring), WC8000 & WC87000 (ND type - wide cup), and 88000 (extended inner ring) type of nachi bearings.

• Also produces stainless steel Guide Wheel bearings.

• Chrome and stainless steel bearings up to 75mm OD.

• SRG AISI 304 stainless steel ball bearings have much greater corrosion resistance than those made of SAE 52100 bearing steel or AISI 440C stainless steel.

• Heat resistant grease is used in AISI 304 and AISI 440C stainless steel ball bearings.

• SRG AISI 440C stainless steel bearings have a high resistance to corrosion and chemicals. Has high stability in high temperature.

That’s why it’s important to secure long working period of the bearing, because most of the delays of the equipment are related with bearing maintenance.Bearings made from stainless steel, alloy, and fluoride or with chrome coating are suitable for work in humid conditions. Base of the range is mostly "stainless steel bearings" ,mostly, used in food industry, fishery, chemical processes and for cleaning elements of the semiconductors.
