A 7Q 7-093 is a hardened CR1075 steel washer, 0.093 inches thick, designed for use with thrust bearings that have a 15/16 inch bore and 22 balls. The washer is specified for mounting alongside matched retainer and ball components in complete bearing sets. It supports axial loads up to 384 lbf at 15 rpm and 204 lbf at 100 rpm, with a maximum operating temperature of 250°F for the nylon retainer. The washer's outer diameter tolerance is not explicitly stated for this variant, but its thickness tolerance is ±0.003 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.
