Value Collection 31617-01 Deep Groove Ball Bearing

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 31617-01 is a flanged, open-style deep groove ball bearing designed for light-duty rotational applications in mechanical and industrial equipment. It features a 0.437-inch round bore, a single-row full complement unground design, and an open (non-sealed, non-shielded) configuration that allows for external lubrication access. The carbon steel housing provides solid structural integrity for the rated 356-pound dynamic load capacity. At a maximum operating speed of 1,500 RPM, this bearing suits low-to-moderate speed shaft support applications where compactness and a fixed flange mount are required.

This bearing is typically installed in light industrial machinery, small motors, conveyor components, and equipment requiring a flanged retention point to prevent axial migration within a housing bore. The flange outside diameter of 1 inch and flange width of 1/16 inch make it well suited for thin-wall housings where a minimal flange profile is needed. The 3/8-inch inner ring width keeps the overall package compact. No snap ring is included. Machinists, maintenance mechanics, and equipment technicians are the typical installers for this type of bearing.

Key Features

• Flanged open design allows external lubrication and axial positioning in housing bores
• 0.437-inch round bore accommodates standard light-duty shaft diameters
• Full complement unground ball set rated for 356 pounds dynamic load capacity
• Carbon steel housing for reliable structural performance in dry or lightly lubricated environments
• Compact 1-inch flange outside diameter and 1/16-inch flange width for thin-wall housing fitment
• Maximum 1,500 RPM operating speed suits low-to-moderate speed applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement deep groove ball bearing for light industrial and mechanical equipment requiring a flanged, open-style bearing with a 0.437-inch round bore and 1-inch flange outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified maintenance mechanic or millwright. De-energize and lock out all power to the equipment before removing or installing bearings. Use a proper bearing press or installation sleeve to apply force to the inner ring only — never drive directly on the outer race or balls. Verify shaft and housing tolerances before installation to avoid premature failure due to improper fit.
