A 7Y 7-050 is a hardened 410 stainless steel thrust bearing washer with a thickness of 0.062 inch, designed for use with the A 7Z 7-050ST complete bearing set. It has an outer diameter tolerance between 0.930 and 0.937 inch and a bore diameter tolerance between 0.503 and 0.508 inch. The washer is rated for a dynamic load of 140 lb at 100 rpm and is used in conjunction with 440C stainless steel balls and a molded nylon retainer rated to 250°F maximum.
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.
