Overview

WPB TG Wide-Race Staking-Groove Spherical Bearings Product Overview

WPB16TG is a wide-series PTFE-lined spherical bearing with staking groove, bore (B) = 1.0000″, OD (D) = 2.1250″. Body width (W) = 1.375″, inner race width (T) = 1.005″. Ball diameter = 1.875″. Flat OD (O) = 1.269″. Approximate weight: 0.970 lb.

Rated at 104,000 lb static radial load with ±12.0° misalignment angle. The staking groove on the OD allows the bearing to be permanently retained in a housing bore by staking the housing material into the groove — eliminating the need for snap rings or press-fit retention in many assemblies. The 52100 bearing steel ball is precision ground, heat treated, and hard chrome plated. The alloy steel race is heat treated, oil coated, and PTFE lined for self-lubricating operation.

Stainless race + stainless ball: add ‘-SS’ suffix (e.g., WPB16TG-SS). Stainless race + steel ball: add ‘-S’ suffix (e.g., WPB16TG-S). Non-groove variant: WPB16T (WPB-T series). Standard-width Teflon-lined equivalent: COM-T series.

Applications

Where WPB TG Wide-Race Staking-Groove Spherical Bearings Spherical Bearings Are Used

Hydraulic Cylinders & Lifting Equipment

Spherical plain bearings accommodate angular misalignment and oscillating motion at cylinder eyes, lifting arms, and other pivot connections. Select the race, seals, lubrication, and load direction for the duty cycle.

Construction, Agricultural & Material-Handling Pivots

These bearings are commonly used at heavily loaded pivot points in construction, forestry, agricultural, and material-handling machinery where slow oscillation, shock, contamination, and service access influence the bearing choice.

Automotive Suspension & Structural Linkages

The spherical inner and outer surfaces support controlled angular movement in suspension links, axle connections, and fabricated mechanisms. Confirm bore fit, housing support, edge loading, and required misalignment before installation.

Industrial Machinery

Used in industrial mechanisms and OEM fixtures where wide-series radial support, retained installation, and low-friction spherical movement are all required.

Corrosion-Sensitive Installations

Chosen where stainless race or stainless ball options help improve service life in exposed or corrosion-sensitive environments.

OEM Mechanical Assemblies

Frequently specified for OEM builds that need repeatable staking groove spherical-bearing geometry, PTFE-lined race construction, and optional material configurations.

FAQ

WPB TG Wide-Race Staking-Groove Spherical Bearings Frequently Asked Questions

What is the WPB16TG used for?

The WPB16TG is a wide-series, PTFE-lined spherical bearing with a staking groove on the OD, with a 1.0000" bore and 2.1250" OD — the staking groove lets it be permanently retained in a housing bore by staking the housing material into the groove, eliminating the need for snap rings or press-fit retention in many assemblies.

What are the bore, OD, and width dimensions of the WPB16TG?

Bore (B) is 1.0000", OD (D) is 2.1250", body width (W) is 1.375", inner race width (T) is 1.005", ball diameter is 1.875", and flat OD (O) is 1.269" — approximate weight is 0.970 lb.

What static load and misalignment rating does the WPB16TG carry?

The WPB16TG is rated at 104,000 lb static radial load with up to ±12.0° of angular misalignment.

Why is the WPB16TG self-lubricating?

The alloy steel race is heat treated, oil coated, and PTFE lined, so the ball articulates against a low-friction PTFE surface instead of requiring grease — this is what makes the WPB16TG maintenance-free in service.

What materials make up the WPB16TG, and are stainless options available?

The ball is 52100 bearing steel, precision ground, heat treated, and hard chrome plated; stainless steel is optional. The race is alloy steel, heat treated, PTFE lined, and oil coated; stainless steel is optional and zinc plating is optional. For a stainless race with a stainless ball, add the '-SS' suffix (e.g., WPB16TG-SS). For a stainless race with a standard steel ball, add the '-S' suffix (e.g., WPB16TG-S).

How does the WPB16TG relate to other bearings in the WPB family?

The WPB16TG is the staking-groove version of this bore/OD size. The non-groove variant is WPB16T (WPB-T series), and the standard-width Teflon-lined equivalent is the COM-T series — choose based on whether you need the retention groove and on your width requirement.
