The S99LBOM016036 is an open-type linear ball bearing with a 16 mm bore, three ball circuits, and a 26 mm outer diameter, designed for low-friction, high-accuracy linear motion. It has a 36 mm length, a 24.9 mm retainer width, and a 10 mm retainer diameter. The bearing uses AISI 52100 steel sleeves and balls with a Duracon M90 retainer. It specifies a dynamic load capacity of 578 N and a static load capacity of 892 N, with a 78° contact angle. The bore tolerance is +0.009/-0.001 mm, the outer diameter tolerance is 0/-0.009 mm, and the length tolerance is 0/-0.200 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.
