A 7M 7M1932ST is a thrust bearing comprising a molded nylon retainer with hardened 440C stainless steel balls and a 410 stainless steel washer, designed for axial load applications. The bearing has a bore diameter of 19 mm with a tolerance of 19.25 to 19.08 mm, an outer diameter of 32 mm with a tolerance of 31.98 to 31.75 mm, and a washer thickness of 25.4 mm. It contains eight balls of 3.97 mm diameter and has a dynamic load rating of 912 N at 10 rpm and 480 N at 100 rpm. The retainer is rated for maximum operating temperature of 120°C.
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.
