73mm OD Bearings | McMaster-Carr

With thinner inner and outer rings, these bearings keep your machines more compact than high-load crossed-roller bearings. Route hydraulic lines, electrical wiring, and other components through the inside of the bearing. Mounting holes on the rings allow for fastening onto hollow joints and shafts. The rollers face in alternating directions to allow for rigid, accurate motion under any combination of radial, thrust, and moment (twisting) loads. Use in applications where highly accurate motion is necessary, such as machine tools and industrial robots.

Thrust Ball Bearings

For silky-smooth motion, the balls inside these bearings roll nearly friction-free. You'll often find them at the end of a shaft or between a stationary and rotating surface, such as on a propeller or rotary table.

These bearings come as three separate pieces—one cage and two washers. The cage holds the balls in place, while the washers create a surface for the balls to roll on. This design is easy to lubricate, but the oil will attract dust and grime since it's exposed.

Steel—Strong and wear resistant. However, these bearings are best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.
