Inserting a Ball Bearing

Anonymous
Not applicable

I'm trying to add a bearing in inventor from content center, but I can't seem to find the correct size in content center. The bearing I want to use on my physical project has a 1/2ID and a 1.375OD (link below). I've searched content center multiple ways, but can't find a bearing with this size. Is this because that bearing is a non-standard size, or is there a different content center library that I can download with this size? Is there any way to create a custom bearing out of content center?

 

Link to my bearing: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Martin-Wheel-1-2-in-Industrial-Ball-Bearings-2-Pack-IBB-12-NHYD/205716425

The attached document will help.

 

For just a single bearing, I would quickly model one up that has the same mass as your sample rather than going through creating/modifying with CC.

Just insert the picture rather than attaching it as a file

The content center is far from "all inclusive"..

And yes you can add stuff to it.. 

Lots of info on that process..
