The A 7Z 7M0614ST is a thrust bearing set comprising a molded nylon retainer with hardened S.A.E. 1018 steel balls and a hardened CR1075 steel washer. It has a bore diameter of 6 mm (tolerance 6.20 to 6.07 mm), an outer diameter of 14 mm (tolerance 13.97 to 13.79 mm), and a bearing thickness of 4.82 to 5.02 mm. The washer thickness is 1.27 mm. The bearing contains eight balls of 2.38 mm diameter and is rated for a static load of 583 N at 15 rpm and 307 N at 100 rpm. Load capacity at 900 rpm is approximately half the 100 rpm rating.
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.
