Very basic question about axles/shafts.
Very basic question about axles/shafts.
(OP)
What is the official compenent name for a shaft end bearing? I have looked at giant sized component catalogs that seem to have everything. Yet, every bearing is for a shaft that goes straight through. Isn't that how nearly all shafts end... on a bearing? How else would you end one? Maybe I'm just not looking at the right catalog, but I have sure seen a lot of them at this point.
Sorry if my question is offensively stupid, but I'm learning this stuff on my own... playing around with inventions that don't seem to work. In the past I've worked around this problem but for a project I'm doing now I really think I have to buy one.

RE: Very basic question about axles/shafts.
An example of what I need would be an ordinary drill. You put the drillbit (shaft) in the drill(bearing), and it will be able to rotate the y-axis. If you try to push the drill bit in, it won't go in any further assuming it is properly secured. And in the case of a drill you can't pull the shaft out either. However, I only need it to be impossible to push the shaft further.

But in my second case, where I have a freely rotating gear on the end of a shaft, any housing would be a major issue.
I may just superglue the bearing on the shaft. Not exactly elegant, but I think it would do the job.

in your search. Some bearings are bolt on
style rather than fitting on a shaft, but
these are usually large bearings and not
the little guys. Super glue does not take
force the radial direction but primarily used
in the axial direction. I may have this
confused with loctite products.
