The S99GSB-030905 is a maintenance-free, self-aligning spherical bearing with a 0.1900 inch inner diameter and a 0.5625 inch outer diameter, made from a wear-resistant L280 polymer ball and a reinforced plastic housing. It operates from -22°F to +176°F, supports a maximum radial load of 225 lbs and an axial load of 34 lbs, and permits a pivot angle of 34° with a maximum torque of 3.69 lbf·ft. The bearing weighs 0.042 oz and requires press fitting into an H7 housing bore with an h7 shaft size for optimal performance.
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.
