Overview

WPB T Wide-Race Spherical Bearings Product Overview

WPB7T is a wide-series PTFE-lined spherical bearing with a 0.4375″ bore (B) and 0.9375″ OD (D). Body width (W) = 0.562″, inner race width (T) = 0.442″. Ball diameter = 0.781″. Flat OD (O) = 0.537″. Approximate weight: 0.080 lb.

Rated at 20,700 lb static radial load with ±10.0° misalignment angle. 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, maintenance-free operation. The wide-body design provides greater contact area than standard COM series bearings, improving load distribution in suspension links, control arms, and heavy pivot assemblies.

Stainless race + stainless ball: add ‘-SS’ suffix (e.g., WPB7T-SS). Stainless race + steel ball: add ‘-S’ suffix (e.g., WPB7T-S). Staking-groove variant available as WPB-TG series. Standard-width Teflon-lined equivalent is the COM-T series.

Applications

Where WPB T Wide-Race 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, fixtures, and rugged assemblies where wide-series radial support and low-friction spherical movement are both 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 wide-series spherical-bearing geometry, PTFE-lined race construction, and optional material configurations.

FAQ

WPB T Wide-Race Spherical Bearings Frequently Asked Questions

What is the WPB7T spherical bearing used for?

The WPB7T is a wide-series, PTFE-lined spherical bearing with a 0.4375" bore and 0.9375" OD. Its wide-body design gives greater contact area than a standard COM series bearing, which improves load distribution in suspension links, control arms, and heavy pivot assemblies.

What are the key dimensions of the WPB7T?

Bore (B) is 0.4375", OD (D) is 0.9375", body width (W) is 0.562", inner race width (T) is 0.442", ball diameter is 0.781", and flat OD (O) is 0.537". Approximate weight is 0.080 lb.

What static load and misalignment angle is the WPB7T rated for?

The WPB7T is rated at 20,700 lb static radial load with up to ±10.0° of angular misalignment.

What is the ball made of on the WPB7T?

The ball is 52100 bearing steel, precision ground, heat treated, and hard chrome plated. A stainless steel ball is available as an option.

Why is the WPB7T self-lubricating?

The race is heat-treated alloy steel that is PTFE lined and oil coated, so the ball articulates against a low-friction PTFE surface instead of needing grease — this is what makes the WPB7T maintenance-free in service. Stainless steel and zinc-plated race options are also available.

Are stainless or staking-groove versions of the WPB7T available?

Yes. Add the '-SS' suffix (e.g., WPB7T-SS) for a stainless race and stainless ball, or '-S' (e.g., WPB7T-S) for a stainless race with a standard steel ball. A staking-groove variant is available as the WPB-TG series, and the standard-width Teflon-lined equivalent is the COM-T series.
