F7-15M Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The F7-15M is a metric thrust ball bearing engineered for pure axial load applications requiring high precision and reliability. This compact bearing features a chrome steel construction and open design, delivering excellent performance in demanding thrust load conditions. Its standardized inner ring and grooved raceway washers ensure smooth operation and precise axial positioning, making it ideal for applications where space is limited and axial load capacity is critical.
F7-15M Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| F7 | Designates the bearing series and bore diameter (7 mm) |
| 15M | Indicates outside diameter (15 mm) in metric measurement system |
| Open | No seals or shields, allowing for custom lubrication solutions |
F7-15M Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
High Load Capacity: The F7-15M features grooved raceway washers and 8 precision chrome steel balls that provide exceptional axial dynamic load rating of 495 lbf and axial static load rating of 450 lbf, ensuring reliable performance under substantial thrust loads.
Precision Engineering: Manufactured with tight dimensional tolerances (bore and OD tolerance: -0.008mm to 0) and a brass cage that maintains ball spacing for smooth operation and reduced vibration at limiting speeds up to 3,600 rpm.
Material Excellence: Constructed from chrome steel for both rings and balls, providing superior hardness, wear resistance, and durability across a wide temperature range from -30°C to 110°C.
Compact Design: With a minimal bearing width of only 5 mm and lightweight construction (6.5 g), this bearing offers space-saving solutions without compromising performance.
