A 7M 7M0614 is a thrust bearing component set comprising a molded nylon retainer and hardened steel balls, designed to support axial loads in rotating applications. The retainer operates up to 120°C and holds eight balls of 2.38 mm diameter. It pairs with a washer of 6 mm bore, 14 mm outer diameter, and 1.27 mm thickness. The bearing has a dynamic load rating of 583 N at 10 rpm and 307 N at 100 rpm. The ball and washer materials are S.A.E 1018 steel hardened to HRC 60 minimum and CR1075 steel hardened to HRC 59-61, respectively.
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.
