Product Overview: The RLS 11 Inch-Series Ball Bearing
The RLS 11 is a single-row, inch-series deep groove ball bearing, engineered for versatility and reliability. With primary dimensions of a 1-3/8" bore diameter, 2-3/4" outer diameter, and 5/8" thickness, this bearing is designed to fit standard imperial-sized shafts and housings. As a member of our RLS Series, it is part of a widely used family of Deep Groove Ball Bearings. Its design incorporates deep, uninterrupted raceway grooves, making it exceptionally well-suited for accommodating both radial and axial loads in both directions, particularly at high operational speeds.
Manufactured from high-quality bearing steel, the RLS 11 bearing offers excellent durability and a long service life, even in demanding industrial and automotive environments. Its simple yet effective design ensures low friction and smooth operation, making it a cost-effective choice for a vast range of mechanical applications.
