The BPFCOM-030 is a two-piece commercial spherical bearing with a 0.1900 in. bore and 0.5625 in. outer diameter, designed for metal-to-metal contact in carbon steel construction. It has a ball diameter of 0.281 in., a static load rating of 3250 lbs, and a weight of 0.02 lbs. The bearing features a lubrication hole and groove, with an outer race made of low-carbon steel and a ball of heat-treated 52100 steel with hard chrome plating. Dimensions include a width of 0.218 in., chamfer of 0.015 in., flat width of 0.406 in., and outer diameter flat of 0.293 in.
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.
