A 7B 7-S322404 is an oil-impregnated bronze thrust washer with an inner diameter of 1.003 inches, an outer diameter of 1.500 inches, and a thickness of 0.125 inches, designed to provide self-lubricating, low-friction axial load support in mechanical assemblies. It is manufactured in the 'S' series with tolerances of ±0.0025 inch for inner diameter and ±0.010 inch for outer diameter, consistent with the series' specified dimensional controls for components in this size range.
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.
