The BPFFKS-090 is a two-piece heavy-duty spherical bearing with a 1.0937 in. outer diameter and a 0.5625 in. bore, constructed from alloy steel with a heat-treated outer race and chrome-plated ball. It has a static radial load capacity of 36,000 lbs. and includes a lubrication hole and groove. The bearing measures 0.562 in. in width with a chamfer of +0.015 in. and a ball diameter of 0.437 in. The race has a flat of 0.670 in. and a total height of 0.875 in. Self-lubricating versions are available with a 'T' suffix but omit lubrication features.
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.
