The S99APZM16F026036 is a precision Frelon-lined linear bearing with a 16 mm bore and 36 mm overall length, designed for high-load, low-friction applications. It has an aluminum body with an anodized finish and a bonded Frelon® liner, offering self-lubricating operation and shock load dampening. The bearing supports a maximum dynamic load of 5930 N, operates within a temperature range of -240°C to +260°C, and recommends a shaft finish of 0.2-0.3 µm Ra with a minimum hardness of HRC 50 for optimal performance. It is available in both closed and open series configurations, with an open series slot width of 10.4 mm and a slot angle of 60°. No catastrophic failure occurs under shock loads, and it resists corrosion, rust, and seizure across its full temperature range.
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.
