For a starter generator applications there are several things to consider when choosing a quality bearing: - High Quality aerospace bearing steel - ultra clean with full traceability; - Super finished races for improved lubricant life and maximum EHD film thickness; - Grade 5 balls matched for size within the bearing to 5 millionths inch; - Complete line of seals – from high speed Flexeals to high temperature molded Viton seals (operation to 550F). Both seals have excellent resistance to aircraft hydraulic fluid; - Unique T type retainer made of phenolic with aluminum side plates reinforced with rivets. Allows for maximum load capacity and high speed (similar to angular contact) in a worry free radial bearing design.
