This 1623-2RS 5/8x1-3/8x7/16-inch sealed ball bearing has deep groove geometry for high speeds and supporting both radial and axial loads. This bearing is made of chrome steel for durability and resistance to deformity under heavy loads, and has a C0 (normal) radial internal clearance for applications that do not involve thermal expansion or atypical precision. It has rubber seals on both sides of the bearing to keep lubricant in and contaminants out, and comes pre-lubricated from the manufacturer so that no additional lubrication is required. The chrome steel bearing balls provide durability and resistance to deformity under heavy loads, and the steel cage evenly spaces the balls for even load distribution and preventing contact to reduce friction, vibrations, and noise. This deep-groove sealed ball bearing is suitable for use in electric motor applications.
Rolling bearings use rolling elements to maintain the separation between moving parts to reduce rotational friction and support radial and axial loads. These elements can be one of the following types: ball, cylindrical, spherical, barrel, needle, spindle, or tapered. All rolling bearings are open, shielded, or sealed. Sealed bearings are lubricated with oil or grease in the bearing factory, while open and shielded bearings are meant to be lubricated in place, with periodic reapplication of lubrication, based on use. The shield protects the working parts of the bearing from environmental debris that may be introduced and could reduce the ball bearing speed and lifespan. Rolling bearings are used in a range of applications from agricultural machinery to conveying equipment, robotics, dental equipment, elevators, rolling mills, ship rudder shafts, and aggregate crushers, among others.
