8482.10.50 - Other

This category, 8482.10.50, encompasses "Other" ball bearings that do not fall under the specific classification for ball bearings with integral shafts (8482.10.10). It serves as a residual category for standard ball bearings, characterized by their inner and outer rings, rolling elements (balls), and a cage to maintain separation. These bearings are designed to reduce rotational friction and support radial and axial loads, commonly found in a wide array of machinery and mechanical equipment.

The distinction from the sibling category, 8482.10.10, lies in the absence of an integrated shaft. While 8482.10.10 specifically covers ball bearings where the shaft is a permanent, integral part of the bearing assembly, this category is for bearings that require separate mounting onto a shaft or into a housing.

Within this "Other" classification, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification based on the manufacturing process and subsequent use. These include "Unground bearings" (8482.10.50.04), which are typically less precise and intended for applications where high accuracy is not paramount. The remaining subcategories under "Other" would likely further differentiate based on specific features, materials, or intended applications not covered by the unground designation.
