The A 7Z 7M1224ST is a stainless steel thrust bearing set with a 12 mm bore, a 24 mm outer diameter, and a 3.18 mm total thickness. It includes 440C stainless steel balls, a molded nylon retainer rated for up to 120°C, and a 410 stainless steel washer. The bearing supports a static load rating of 623 N at 100 rpm and 329 N at 100 rpm. Its ball circle diameter is 18.3 mm with a tolerance of ±0.05 mm.
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.
