The A 7Z 7M2541ST is a bearing assembly that includes two washers and a retainer with balls, designed for applications requiring reduced friction and improved rotational efficiency. The balls are made from S.A.E 1018 steel, hardened to a minimum of HRC 60, while the retainer is constructed from molded nylon, suitable for temperatures up to 120¬8C. The washers are made from CR1075 steel, hardened to a hardness range of HRC 59 to 61. This product is part of a series of complete thrust bearing sets, which are designed to support axial loads and maintain alignment in rotating components. The load ratings at 100 rpm are approximately 1188 N, making it suitable for various engineering applications where durability and performance are critical.
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.
