The BRFSFGM140 is a right-hand threaded, four-piece, metal-to-metal female rod end with a 14 mm bore, designed for load transmission in mechanical linkages. It has a chrome steel ball body insert coated for corrosion resistance, a 19 mm head width, and an overall length of 74 mm. The thread size is M14 x 2, with a ball housing diameter of 25.4 mm and flange width of 21 mm. The maximum static load rating is 20600 N. It is metric-certified and features a ball bore tolerance of ±0.127 mm. The part is designed for grease fitting compatibility, indicated by adding "G" to the catalog number.
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.
