A 7Z47-PSN500 is a needle roller pressbearing with a 0.500 in. bore and a 1.063 in. nominal panel hole diameter, designed for press-fit installation in carbon steel housings with a black oxide finish. It supports a maximum radial load of 950 lbf at 22000 rpm, operates within a temperature range of -22°F to +212°F, and requires a shaft with a hardness of Rc 58 to 64 and a surface finish of 16 µin. or finer. The bearing is self-aligning to ±5° and accommodates any shaft material meeting the finish and hardness criteria. The 0.500 in. shaft diameter has a maximum tolerance of .4995 in. and a minimum of .5000 in., as specified for this model.
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.
