i am in need of a brass ball bearing with a bore dia of 1/4inch. can anyone tell me where i could find it?
FredGarvin said:A brass bearing? What is the purpose for specifying brass?
You need to specify outer diameter as well as load and speed requirements. There are a ton of things to spec out in a bearing.
Like Topher mentioned, you can go with a 300 series stainless for the race materials and a phenolic cage. You may have an issue with the rolling elements depending on the bearing.humanoid said:i need brass because the use involves magnet and i don want to use any ferrous material. the load and speed is not a prob because the shaft going to b manally rotated.
A 1/4in brass ball bearing is a small, spherical metal component used in various mechanical and industrial applications. It is typically made of brass, a type of metal alloy known for its strength and corrosion resistance.
As the name suggests, a 1/4in brass ball bearing has a diameter of 1/4 inch. It also has a width or thickness that is typically equal to its diameter. The exact dimensions may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer.
A 1/4in brass ball bearing offers several benefits, including high strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. It also has low friction and can withstand high temperatures and pressures, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
A 1/4in brass ball bearing can be used in various industries, such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing. It is commonly used in bearings, valves, pumps, and other mechanical components that require smooth and precise movement.
The right 1/4in brass ball bearing for your application will depend on factors such as load capacity, speed, temperature, and environment. It is important to consult with a supplier or engineer to determine the most suitable bearing for your specific needs.
