F10-18 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The F10-18 is a metric thrust ball bearing engineered for high-precision axial load applications. This compact bearing features a standard inner ring and flat raceway washers, designed to accommodate pure thrust loads in one direction with exceptional reliability. Manufactured from chrome steel for durability and using a brass cage for stability, it is ideal for applications demanding compact dimensions and consistent performance under axial stress.
F10-18 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| F10-18 | Standard model designation for a metric thrust ball bearing with a 10mm bore and 18mm outside diameter. |
| Open (Seal Type) | The bearing is supplied without seals or shields, requiring external lubrication and protection from contaminants. |
F10-18 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Axial Load Capacity: The flat raceway design and chrome steel construction enable it to handle significant axial dynamic load ratings of 502 lbf and static ratings of 612 lbf.
- Precision Engineering: Tight dimensional tolerances on the bore diameter and outside diameter ensure precise fit and reliable operation in high-accuracy assemblies.
- Stable High-Speed Operation: The brass cage accurately spaces the 10 precision balls, contributing to smooth operation and a limiting speed of 2,500 rpm.
- Compact and Lightweight: With a width of only 5.5 mm and a weight of just 6 grams, it is an ideal solution for space-constrained applications.
F10-18 Bearing Typical Application Areas
This bearing is commonly specified in:
- Automotive steering systems (e.g., thrust applications in gearboxes)
- Industrial machinery with axial load requirements, such as machine tool tables and positioning systems
- Precision instruments and optical devices requiring compact thrust solutions
- Pumps and compressors for handling axial loads in rotating assemblies
