A clip bearing with double flange made of M250® polymer, designed for use with sheet metal plates and supporting shafts from 17.975 mm to 18.000 mm in diameter. It has a bore diameter of 18 mm, flange outer diameter of 21 mm, flange width of 23 mm, and recommended sheet metal thickness of 5.0 mm. It operates continuously from -40°C to +80°C and can withstand intermittent temperatures up to +170°C. The bearing is maintenance-free, self-lubricating, and suitable for both rotational and linear motion applications.
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.
