The BRFHMX-040G is a right-hand threaded, four-piece precision rod end with a 0.2500 inch bore, designed for high radial load applications. It features a 52100 alloy steel ball body insert, a 4130 or 4340 alloy steel housing heat-treated and coated for corrosion resistance, and a grease lubricator. The part has a metal-to-metal construction, is magnetic particle inspected, and has a static radial load capacity of 3260 lbs. Its housing width is 0.375 inch, overall length is 1.562 inches, and thread size is .3125-24 UNF-3A. The ball diameter is 0.515 inch, and the flat diameter is 0.353 inch. The approximate weight is 0.06 lbs. The part conforms to inch dimensions and is part of the Four-Piece-Male Series.
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.
