The BPFWSS-16T is a four-piece wide-series precision spherical bearing with a 1.0000 inch bore diameter and a 2.1250 inch outer diameter, featuring stainless steel races and a bonded PTFE liner for self-lubrication. It has a width of 1.375 inches, a ball diameter of 1.269 inches, and a minimum misalignment angle of 12 degrees. The bearing supports a dynamic radial load rating of 104,000 lbs and a static radial load rating of 19,300 lbs, with a maximum oscillating load limit of 56,250 lbs. It weighs 0.970 lbs and has a no-load breakaway torque of 2.0 to 8.0 lb-in. The bore and outer diameter are concentric within 0.005 T.I.R.
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.
