The A 7Z42-BFM375B is a flange-mounted, self-aligning sintered bronze bearing with a 3/8 inch bore and self-lubricating properties, designed for operation between -20°F and +200°F. It features a carbon steel flange with a black oxide finish and supports a maximum radial load of 320 lbf at a speed of 10,180 rpm. The bearing accommodates shafts with a minimum Rockwell B hardness of 95 and a surface finish of 16 µin. or finer. It is self-aligning to ±5° and has a flange height of 0.06 inch and a thickness of 0.64 inch.
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.
