Anyone have any experience with these things?
The specs look too good to be true.
A basic 1" ID x 1.125" OD x 1" long CJS1616 has a static load rating of 38,000 lbs and costs less than $8!
Is there a reason I shouldn't switch all my low speed stuff over to these things? http://rbcbearings.com/literature/pd...glide-2013.pdf
I've decided to use them exclusively in a new hydraulic mechanism I am getting ready to prototype.
I noticed the wear testing they did was quite a bit below the load capacity they advertised, so I'll be equally conservative where possible.
I also saw they spec a hard smooth surface to wear on. I decided be a bit overly conservative again and to just use hydraulic rod stock for the shafts, and skip fine machining and surface treatments.
