Value Collection 31562-88 Deep Groove Ball Bearing

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 31562-88 is a flanged deep groove ball bearing designed for rotating shaft applications in industrial, HVAC, and mechanical equipment. It features a 0.375-inch round bore, a double-seal design that retains grease and excludes contaminants, and a single-row ball arrangement that handles radial loads efficiently. The carbon steel housing provides solid structural integrity for general-duty service. With a dynamic load capacity of 450 pounds and a maximum rated speed of 2,500 RPM, this bearing suits moderate-speed, moderate-load installations in motors, fans, pumps, and similar rotating equipment. Licensed technicians and millwrights typically install this component during equipment rebuild or preventive maintenance cycles.

This bearing is used in residential and light commercial applications where a compact flanged bearing is required to locate a shaft axially while supporting radial loads. The integral flange simplifies mounting by allowing the bearing to seat against a machined bore face without a separate retaining device. Typical install scenarios include fan shaft assemblies, small motor end bells, conveyor tail shafts, and pump housings. The double-seal construction makes it appropriate for environments with moderate dust or moisture exposure, eliminating the need for external re-lubrication at service intervals.

Key Features

• 0.375-inch round bore accommodates standard fractional shaft sizes
• Double-seal design retains factory grease and blocks contaminant ingress
• Flanged style provides positive axial location without additional hardware
• Single-row configuration handles radial loads in compact installations
• Carbon steel housing for durability in general-duty service
• Rated to 2,500 RPM maximum for moderate-speed equipment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement for flanged deep groove ball bearings with a 0.375-inch round bore in industrial, HVAC, and mechanical rotating equipment applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed millwright, HVAC technician, or mechanical maintenance professional. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before replacing any bearing. Press or drive the bearing squarely into its housing bore using a proper bearing press or sleeve driver that applies force only to the outer ring during installation. Avoid striking the inner ring or seal faces, as impact damage to the seals will shorten service life.
