488-1544: Bearing-aligning

Description: Cat bearings are designed for specific applications based on load, operating speed, temperature range, size, and past performance and are manufactured to the highest quality standards for long life and performance. Self-aligning spherical plain bearings consist of an inner convex race and an outer concave race that swivel to eliminate stresses on the shaft and bearing assembly due to deflection. Caterpillar design engineers match the right combination of dimensions, materials, surface finish, and manufacturing processes, to each part to enable them to work and wear effectively with all the other neighboring and dependent parts. Attributes: • Maintenance-free spherical bearing • With lubrication groove and holes • Single fracture outer race • Outer Race Length: 71.425 mm (2.812 in) Application: Consult your owner's manual or contact your local Cat Dealer for more information.
