Value Collection 31623-01 Deep Groove Ball Bearing

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 31623-01 is an open-style, single-row deep groove ball bearing built for light-duty rotating equipment where a flanged housing interface is required. With a 0.312-inch round bore and a full-complement, unground construction, this bearing is suited for applications that prioritize load capacity over maximum speed. The flanged outer ring seats flush against a housing face, simplifying axial positioning without additional retaining hardware. Dynamic load capacity is rated at 341 pounds. The carbon steel housing material provides adequate strength for general industrial and mechanical service environments.

This bearing fits residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies where a small-bore, low-speed flanged bearing is required. Typical applications include small motors, fans, conveyors, pumps, and other rotating components operating at or below 1,500 RPM. The open design means there is no integral seal or shield, making it appropriate for dry or lightly lubricated environments where external lubrication access is maintained. It is commonly installed by mechanical technicians, HVAC service professionals, and maintenance personnel performing equipment rebuilds or bearing replacements.

Key Features

• Flanged outer ring for simplified axial location in a housing bore
• Full-complement unground construction rated for 341 pounds dynamic load capacity
• Open style allows direct access for external lubrication
• Round bore at 0.312 inches fits standard small-shaft applications
• Maximum operating speed of 1,500 RPM suits low-speed mechanical drives
• Carbon steel housing material for general-purpose industrial service

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement flanged deep groove ball bearing for small-bore rotating equipment operating at speeds up to 1,500 RPM with a 0.312-inch round bore shaft requirement.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanical technician or maintenance professional. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before removing or installing bearings. Press or drive force should be applied evenly to the bearing ring being seated into the housing or onto the shaft — never apply force through the rolling elements. Because this is an open bearing with no integral seal, verify that the operating environment is compatible and that a lubrication maintenance schedule is established after installation.
