With a 0.375-inch bore diameter and 0.625-inch outside diameter, this fixed-alignment bearing supports a dynamic load capacity of 37 pounds. Constructed from steel, it incorporates four ball circuits to distribute load evenly across the shaft during linear travel. Machinists, mechanical assemblers, and maintenance technicians install this type of component in automated equipment, slide mechanisms, and precision linear actuator systems where consistent, repeatable linear motion is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bearing suits residential and commercial machine applications where a standard 3\/8-inch shaft diameter is used. Its closed configuration fully encloses the ball circuit, making it appropriate for environments where contamination control and consistent load bearing are priorities. The fixed alignment style means the housing bore must be precisely aligned with the shaft axis during installation. At an overall length of 0.86 inches and a nominal size of 0.875 inches, it fits compactly into standard bearing housings designed for this bore and OD combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClosed bearing style fully encloses ball circuits for improved contamination resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e37-pound dynamic load capacity suitable for light-duty linear motion applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFour ball circuits distribute load evenly along the shaft for smooth travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction provides durability in mechanical service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFixed alignment style for use in precisely aligned shaft and housing assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact form factor at 0.86 inches overall length fits space-constrained assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit linear ball bushing for assemblies using a 3\/8-inch round bore shaft with a 5\/8-inch OD housing seat and a closed bearing configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by qualified mechanical technicians familiar with linear motion system assembly. Ensure the shaft and housing bore are clean, dimensionally correct, and properly aligned before pressing the bearing into place. De-energize and lock out all power sources before servicing any equipment containing this bearing. Avoid applying force directly to the ball circuit or sealing elements during press-fit installation to prevent damage to the bearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBearing Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ball Bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBearing Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Closed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBore Diameter (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBore Diameter (mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9.52 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDynamic Load Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 37 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.86 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Ball Circuits\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistance Between Retaining Ring Grooves\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.640 inches \/ 0.624 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRetaining Ring Groove Minimum\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.039 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBore Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlignment Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fixed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.08 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: THOMSON INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: A61014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"THOMSON INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67916500828466,"sku":"A61014","price":86.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b979536774c753481cf03213d132dc05_18d50c66-64d4-48ed-80cc-603b43ab5a6f.jpg?v=1791258206","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/thomson-industries-a61014-closed-linear-bearing-3-8-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
