Rice Lake Ball Bearing 52100 Chrome Steel Load Cell Scale Mount Bearing

The Rice Lake Ball Bearings are precision-engineered load introduction components designed for custom scale construction, load cell mounting assemblies, weighing systems, and industrial force measurement applications. Manufactured from high-strength 52100 chrome alloy steel, these hardened ball bearings provide accurate point-loading characteristics that help improve weighing performance, reduce friction, and ensure consistent load transfer between scale components. They are commonly used in conjunction with load cups and load receivers to create highly accurate custom weighing systems.

Designed specifically for industrial weighing applications, Rice Lake Ball Bearings serve as critical load introduction elements that allow forces to be transferred through a precise contact point. This point-loading design helps minimize side loading effects and contributes to improved weighing accuracy and repeatability. When paired with compatible load cups and receivers, the ball bearing helps create an efficient load path between the weighing platform and load cell assembly.

Constructed from hardened 52100 chrome alloy steel, these ball bearings offer exceptional strength, wear resistance, and durability under heavy loads. The hardened material resists deformation while maintaining dimensional stability, making the bearings suitable for demanding industrial environments where weighing systems are subjected to continuous loading cycles.

Rice Lake Ball Bearings are available in multiple diameters and crush strength ratings to accommodate various scale capacities and load introduction requirements. Models range from 5/8-inch diameter bearings with a crush strength of 32,000 pounds to 1.25-inch diameter bearings capable of withstanding crush strengths up to 100,000 pounds. This range allows designers and technicians to select the appropriate bearing for custom scale applications, tank weighing systems, hopper scales, platform scales, and specialized force measurement installations.

Whether used in new scale construction, weighing system upgrades, or load cell mounting assemblies, Rice Lake Ball Bearings provide dependable load transfer, long service life, and reliable performance for industrial weighing applications.
