BPSLHS-140 is a two-piece, stainless steel spherical bearing with a 1.5625 in. bore, 1.312 in. outer diameter, 0.875 in. width, and 0.044 in. chamfer. It has a static radial load rating of 69,000 lbs. and is constructed with a 300 series stainless steel outer race and heat-treated 440C stainless steel balls. The bearing features a lubrication groove and is designed for metal-to-metal, non-lubricated operation.
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.
