The BPFLSX-050 is a four-piece precision spherical bearing with a 0.3125 in. bore, 0.8750 in. outer diameter, and 0.437 in. height, featuring a brass insert and carbon steel outer race heat-treated for corrosion resistance. It has a static radial load capacity of 6550 lbs and weighs 0.05 lbs. The bearing includes a lubrication groove and hole for maintenance, with a ball diameter of 0.313 in. and a housing flat diameter of 0.447 in. The design supports metal-to-metal contact with lubrication, and the housing height tolerance is ±0.015 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.
