The BPFLSS-060 is a four-piece precision spherical bearing with a 0.3750 inch bore, 0.8125 inch outer diameter, and 0.406 inch width, featuring a copper alloy insert and heat-treated 4130 or 4340 alloy steel races. It has a static radial load rating of 7150 lbs and weighs 0.04 lbs. The bearing is designed for metal-to-metal contact with lubrication grooves and holes, and the housing flat width is specified as 0.625 inches.
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.
