The A 7B 4-SF061001 is a flanged sintered bronze bearing with a 0.189 inch inner diameter, a 0.3145 inch outer diameter, and a length of 0.125 inch. The bearing has a flange diameter of 0.315 inch and a flange width of 0.025 inch. It is oil-impregnated and self-lubricating, designed for low-friction rotational applications. The tolerances for inner and outer diameter are +0.000 / -0.001 inch, length is ±0.005 inch, flange diameter is ±0.005 inch, and flange width is ±0.0025 inch.
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.
