The S62GFR-038100R is a female plastic rod end bearing with a 0.3750 inch bore and a right-hand thread, designed for maintenance-free operation and alignment compensation. It features a thermoplastic body and L280® polymer balls, operating within a temperature range of -40°F to +194°F. The bearing has a 22° pivot angle, a 1.000 inch overall length, and a 0.687 inch wrench size. It supports a maximum static tensile strength of 450 lbf and a maximum radial load of 225 lbf short-term or 112 lbf long-term. The bore tolerance is +.0033/+.0010 inch. The part is mounted with a 3/8-24 thread and fits shafts between 0.3735 inch and 0.3750 inch in diameter.
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.
