Value Collection 21462-88 Deep Groove Ball Bearing

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 21462-88 is a deep groove ball bearing designed for radial and light axial load applications in rotating machinery. It features a 0.375-inch round bore, a double-seal configuration that retains lubrication and excludes contaminants, and a carbon steel housing. Rated for a dynamic load capacity of 450 pounds, this bearing suits moderate-speed applications with a maximum operating speed of 2,500 RPM. The unground retainer type keeps construction straightforward and cost-effective for standard service conditions. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and equipment service professionals working on motors, fans, pumps, and light industrial assemblies are the primary installers.

This bearing is suited for use in single-row radial load scenarios across residential and light commercial equipment. Typical applications include small electric motors, blower assemblies, conveyor rollers, and auxiliary rotating components where a 0.375-inch bore shaft is present. The double-seal design makes it appropriate for environments where moderate levels of dust or moisture are a concern. No snap ring is included, so housings must be designed to retain the bearing through press-fit or standard bore tolerances.

Key Features

• 0.375-inch round bore for direct shaft installation without additional machining on standard shafts
• Double-seal design retains grease and blocks contaminant ingress
• 450-pound dynamic load capacity for moderate radial load service
• Maximum operating speed of 2,500 RPM
• Carbon steel housing construction for standard service environments
• Single-row configuration for compact axial footprint

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement single-row deep groove ball bearing for equipment with a 0.375-inch bore shaft and a housing sized to accept this bearing envelope.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before removing or installing bearings. Press or drive force must be applied to the bearing ring that mates with the interference fit surface — never apply force through the rolling elements. Verify shaft and housing tolerances against bearing specifications before installation to avoid premature failure.
