The BPFFKS-140 is a two-piece heavy-duty spherical bearing with a 1.5625 in. outer diameter and 0.8750 in. bore, constructed from heat-treated alloy steel 52100 with a chrome-plated ball. It has a static radial load capacity of 86,000 lbs, a maximum ball diameter of 0.703 in., and an overall width of 0.875 in. The bearing includes a lubrication hole and groove, and is available with an optional self-lubricating liner (designated by appending 'T').
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.
