The S99LBCM003010 is a closed-type linear ball bearing with a 3 mm bore, designed for low-friction, high-accuracy motion in metric applications. It features a sleeve and balls made of AISI 52100 steel and a Duracon M90 retainer. The bearing has a single ball groove circuit, an outer diameter of 7 mm, a length of 10 mm, and a groove width of 1.1 mm. It offers a dynamic load capacity of 105 N and a static load capacity of 167 N. This part is not available with seals at both ends. The part dimensions and tolerances follow the series specifications: bore tolerance for 3 mm is 0/-0.008 mm, outer diameter tolerance is 0/-0.009 mm, and length tolerance is 0/-0.12 mm.
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.
