Water pump bearing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Water pump bearings incorporate a spherical outer ring raceway, with the center of the radius located on the bearing axis, providing a self-alignment capability. This bearing incorporates a 45° contact angle that enables the bearing to support large axial loads and moderate radial loads. These bearings incorporate an improved internal design that allows relatively high-speed operation. Typical applications: injection molding machines, crane hooks, vertical pumps.
