Female plastic rod end bearing with a 0.5000 inch bore, 1/2-20 thread, and a 22° pivot angle, designed for maintenance-free operation in applications requiring alignment compensation and resistance to edge loads. The bearing has a thermoplastic body and L280® polymer balls, operates from -40°F to +194°F, and features a maximum static tensile strength of 585 lbf and maximum radial load capacity of 337 lbf short-term and 169 lbf long-term. It measures 1.312 inches in length, 2.125 inches in overall length, and uses a 0.750 inch wrench size. The part supports a left-hand thread configuration as indicated by the 'L' suffix in the part number.
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.
