The TSUPER-3 is a closed-type Super Ball Bushing bearing for end-supported applications, with a bore diameter of 0.1875 to 0.1870 inches and an outer diameter of 0.562 to 0.547 inches. It has a length of 0.003 inches and a dynamic load capacity of 35 lbf. The bearing is designed for use with housing fits of 0.3755 to 0.3750 inches fixed and 0.3760 to 0.3750 inches adjustable, with clearance tolerances of 0.0015C/0.0000 and 0.002C/0.0000 respectively.
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.
