The
inner groove of magneto bearings is a little shallower than that of
deep groove bearings. Since the outer ring has a shoulder on only
one side, the outer ring may be removed. This is often advantageous
for mounting. In general, two such bearings are used in duplex
pairs. Magneto bearings are small bearings with a bore diameter of
4 to 20 mm and are mainly used for small magnetos, gyroscopes,
instruments, etc. Pressed brass cages are generally used.
