S62GFRM0812R is a female plastic rod end bearing with an 8 mm bore and M8 thread, designed for maintenance-free operation in applications requiring alignment compensation and edge load handling. The bearing has a thermoplastic body and an L280® polymer ball, operating from -40°C to +130°C. It measures 24 mm in outer diameter, 36 mm in length, and 16 mm in width, with a 12 mm shaft clearance. The part supports a maximum static tensile strength of 2100 N, a short-term radial load of 698 N, and a long-term radial load of 347 N. The pivot allows a maximum angular deflection of 25° and torque capacity of 12.1 N·m under short-term 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.
