Endura-kote Plated Thin Section Bearings

Endura-kote plated thin section Bearings are a kind of thin section bearings. They are available open. The following Endura-kote plated thin section bearing catalog provides bearings with inch sizes, including size selection, price inquiry as well as CAD drawings for free download. These Endura-kote plated thin section Bearings offer high performance in corrosive and non-corrosive environments where space devoted to the bearings is at a minimum. Models of Lily’s Endura-kote plated thin section Bearings can be interchangeable with Kaydon Plated Bearings. The bearing interchange chart is meant to be a quick cross-reference guide.

Attributes of Endura-kote Plated Thin Section Bearings

Types: Angular Contact(Type-A), Four Point Contact(Type-X), Radial Contact(Type-C)

In applications with high axial loads, Type-A angular contact Endura-kote plated thin section Bearings should be used. These bearings also work well in radial or combined radial-thrust applications. The Type-A Endura-kote plated thin section Bearings should never be used alone to support moment loads or reversing axial loading. Two Type-A Endura-kote plated thin section Bearings are often used as a duplex pair.

The Type-X Endura-kote plated thin section Bearings, that is, the 4-point contact Endurakote plated bearings are ideal for moment loading. Type-X Endura-kote bearings are designed with gothic arch raceways creating 4 contact points between the balls and the raceways. This design is excellent for moment loading and reversing axial loading. The Type-X thin section plated bearings can be used for other light loading conditions, but is not recommended in place of the Type-C or Type-A Endura-kote plated thin section Bearings for pure radial loads.

The Type-C Endura-kote plated thin section Bearings, that is, the radial contact Endura-kote plated thin section Bearings, is designed with deep ball grooves to withstand high loads. Although this bearing is used primarily in applications with radial loads, it can withstand moderate axial loads, reversing axial loads, and moment loads.

Materials: Chrome Steel, Stainless Steel, Ceramic Hybrid

The standard Endura-kote plated thin section Bearings shown in the catalog have SAE 52100 steel rings and balls. Endurakote Bearings can be manufactured from other specialty bearing steels to provide corrosion resistance, high temperature capability, alternative load capacity or chemical compatibility. 

Rings

LILY has manufactured Endura-kote plated thin section Bearings from SAE 440C stainless steel to provide corrosion resistance. As an alternative to stainless steel rings, the entire surface of the rings can be plated with nodular thin dense chrome (TDC). This plating, which meets AMS 2438, achieves a molecular bond that will not flake, peel or separate from the base material. The TDC plate has a hardness of HRC 70 - 78 and can withstand temperatures well beyond the range of the base material.

Some special Endura-kote plated thin section Bearings have been manufactured from Aluminum, 300 Series Stainless Steel, 17-4 Stainless Steel, and other metals. 

Balls

Some special ball materials available include 440C Stainless Steel, 300 Series Stainless Steel, Silicon Nitride and M-50 Steel.

Precision: ABEC-1 to ABEC-7

Endura-kote plated thin section Bearings are available in four precision grades. ABEC grades 1, 3, 5 and 7 respectively. The tolerances for the bearing bores, outer diameters and radial plays are shown in the products tables.

Sizing

Endura-kote plated thin section Bearings range in bore diameters from 0.750 inch to 40.000 inches. Product line range from .187 x .187 inch to 1.000 x 1.000 inch in cross section.

Seal Type: Open

Endura-kote plated thin section Bearings in the catalog are all open-typed. These bearings are usually oil lubricated, with low starting torque and flexible rotation.

Construction: constant section

The cross-section remains constant even in the case of larger shaft and housing bore diameters, therefore the Endura-kote plated thin section Bearings are also described as constant section (CS) bearings. There are three configurations of Endura-kote plated thin section Bearings. They are angular contact Endura-kote plated thin section Bearings (Type A), Conrad assembled deep groove radial Endura-kote plated thin section Bearings (Type C), and four-point contact radial Endura-kote plated thin section Bearings (Type X).

System of Measurement

The measurement system of Endura-kote plated thin section Bearings in the following catalog is the inch system.

Cages

Cage materials of Endura-kote plated thin section Bearings cover brass, nylon, phenolic and stainless steel.

Lubricants

Many different lubricants are available from LILY Bearing for special applications. Greases which are designed specifically for high speed, low torque, water resistance, high temperature, oscillatory motion and food machinery can be provided. Additional lubricants, such as dry film, are suitable for use in vacuums and space applications. For more details, please refer to the website of Ball Bearing Lubrication.

Temperatures

Endura-kote plated thin section Bearings with Normal chrome steel can be used at constant temperatures of 120°C or intermittent temperatures of up to 150°C. Above these temperatures, the load capacity of the chrome steel will be reduced. By means of special heat treatment processes and the addition of high temperature grease, we can also customize Endura-kote plated thin section Bearings for high temperature resistance.

Internal Clearance

Internal clearance is the play between outer ring, inner ring and rolling element of Endura-kote plated thin section Bearings. Generally, the amount of up and down movement of the outer ring with respect to the fixed inner ring is called the radial internal clearance and its right and left movement the axial internal clearance. Bearing internal clearance in operation is an important factor that has a significant influence on other factors such as noise, vibration, heat and fatigue life.
