A two-piece commercial spherical bearing with a 1.0000 inch bore and 1.7500 inch outer diameter, made of low-carbon steel outer race and heat-treated 52100 steel ball, hard chrome plated, with a static load rating of 54700 lbs and approximate weight of 0.38 lbs. The bearing has a metal-to-metal contact design, no lubrication hole or groove, and is offered with an optional self-lubricating liner identified by appending "T" to the catalog number.
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.
