BPSLHS-040 is a two-piece precision spherical bearing with a 0.2500 inch bore, 0.6562 inch outer diameter, and 0.343 inch width, constructed of 300 series and 440C stainless steel for metal-to-metal lubrication. It has a static radial load capacity of 6700 lbs and includes a lubrication groove and chamfer. The bearing is designed for applications requiring corrosion resistance and low-friction rotational support.
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.
