Steel Deep Groove Ball Bearing 0.47 in Bore 1.46 in OD, Pkg Qty 50

Overview

This industrial-grade deep groove ball bearing is engineered for high-speed rotational applications requiring precise shaft alignment and durability. Constructed from hardened steel, the unit features a 0.47-inch bore and a 1.46-inch outside diameter to fit standard machinery configurations. The design incorporates double metal shields that effectively retain lubrication while excluding dust, debris, and other contaminants, significantly extending service life in demanding environments. With C3 internal clearance, these bearings accommodate thermal expansion and minor misalignments without compromising rotational stability or increasing friction. They are built to withstand significant radial loads, making them an essential component for maintaining operational efficiency in electric motors, gearboxes, and conveyor systems.

Key Features

Double metal shield construction for superior contaminant exclusion C3 internal clearance to handle thermal expansion and slight misalignment Hardened steel raceways and balls for maximum load capacity Precision-ground surfaces ensure smooth, low-friction rotation Optimized for high-speed industrial operations Sealed design reduces maintenance requirements and lubrication intervals Consistent performance under heavy radial stress

Specifications

Bore Diameter: 0.47 in Outside Diameter: 1.46 in Width: 0.47 in

Material

Hardened Steel Internal Clearance Class: C3 Shield Type: Double Metal Shield (2Z) Load Type: Radial Package Quantity: 50 units

Applications

Electric motor assemblies requiring high-speed reliability Industrial gearbox shafts subject to continuous operation Conveyor system rollers and drive mechanisms Pump impellers and fluid handling equipment Agricultural machinery drivetrains HVAC fan motors and blower wheels Power tool spindles and rotating shafts Automotive alternators and starter motors These bearings are manufactured to strict tolerances to ensure interchangeability and ease of installation across various mechanical systems. The robust steel construction provides resistance against deformation under load, ensuring long-term dimensional stability. The C3 clearance specification is particularly beneficial in applications where operating temperatures fluctuate, as it prevents binding caused by heat-induced expansion of the inner and outer rings. By utilizing double shields rather than rubber seals, the bearing achieves a balance between protection and minimal torque, allowing for higher maximum speed ratings compared to sealed variants. This makes the component ideal for scenarios where both environmental protection and rapid rotation are critical. The bulk packaging of 50 units supports large-scale maintenance schedules and original equipment manufacturer production lines, reducing per-unit costs and ensuring consistent inventory availability for facility managers and procurement specialists.
