The product is an oil-impregnated bronze bar with a 0.75" inner diameter (I.D.), 1.5" outer diameter (O.D.), and a length of 6.5". It is designed for applications requiring self-lubricating properties, which can reduce maintenance needs and enhance performance in various mechanical systems. The bar is part of a series that includes multiple sizes, allowing for customization based on specific project requirements. The oversized O.D. and undersized bore enable machining to precise dimensions, making it suitable for applications where exact fit and alignment are critical.
A bearing is a device that reduces friction between moving components by preventing metal-to-metal contact while assisting components (shafts, axles, and wheels) to freely rotate around a fixed axis, cutting down on heat generation and the amount of energy that is consumed. By replacing sliding motion with low-friction rolling motion, the life of the rotating components is increased. A bearing also keeps the shaft in the proper position, providing support and alignment and transferring the axial or radial loads to the housing.
The types of bearings that we offer include rolling element bearings, which consist of both ball bearings and roller bearings.
Balls are utilized as the rolling element in ball bearings; a retainer holds the balls in place and allows them to freely rotate. The balls are kept inside channels cut in both the inner and outer races. Because there is no surface contact between the balls and races, precision ball bearings have a lower load capacity for their size than other bearings.
