BPFWSS-6T is a four-piece wide series precision spherical bearing with a 0.3750 in. bore diameter and 0.8125 in. outer diameter, constructed of heat-treated 440C stainless steel races and a bonded 17-4 PH stainless steel liner with a PTFE fabric liner for self-lubrication. It has a width of 0.406 in., a ball diameter of 0.466 in., and a flat on the bore of 0.687 in. The bearing supports a static radial load rating of 13,700 lbs., a dynamic radial load limit of 2,630 lbs., and an axial load limit of 8,310 lbs., with a maximum oscillating load of 0.060 lbs. The ball misalignment angle is 8 degrees, and the bore diameter tolerance is controlled within 0.005 in. T.I.R. The no-load breakaway torque ranges from 1.0 to 5.0 lb-in. The assembly weighs 0.060 lbs.
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.
