S62GFRM1216L is a female plastic rod end bearing with a 12 mm bore and M12 thread, designed for maintenance-free operation and alignment compensation. The body is made of thermoplastic with an L280® polymer ball, operating from -40°C to +130°C. It has a maximum static tensile strength of 3599 N, a maximum radial load capacity of 899 N short-term and 449 N long-term, and a maximum torque of 30 N•m. The bearing accommodates a shaft size of 11.957 to 12.000 mm, with overall dimensions of 34 mm length, 22 mm diameter, and 22 mm width. The stem is hexagonal, not rounded. The part supports angle misalignment of up to 25°.
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.
