QA1 MIB16T MIB-T Alloy Steel Spherical Bearing 1" Bore with PTFE Liner

The QA1 MIB16T is a 1-inch bore spherical bearing from QA1's MIB-T Alloy Steel Series, designed to deliver extended service life over traditional commercial-grade spherical bearings. The MIB-T design features an increased race width and diameter, providing more wear surface area and greater load-carrying capacity. A self-lubricating PTFE liner is included, eliminating the need for routine re-greasing and reducing maintenance downtime.

The MIB-T series is an excellent choice for suspension, steering, and chassis linkage applications where durability and low maintenance are priorities.

Ball Specifications:
