The A 7Q 7M0816 is a hardened carbon steel washer for thrust bearings, with a thickness of 1.57 mm, an outer diameter of 16 mm, and a bore diameter of 8 mm. It is used as part of a complete thrust bearing set with S.A.E 1018 steel balls hardened to HRC 60 min and a molded nylon retainer rated to 120°C. The washer is hardened to HRC 59-61. The washer is part of a bearing series that includes dynamic load ratings of 894 N at 10 rpm and 472 N at 100 rpm for equivalent complete bearing sets.
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.
