Difference between high-speed and low-speed bearings Many people may misunderstand it, it’s not that the rotation speed of the bearing itself, but its linear speed. Many low speed bearings can reach tens of thousands of revolutions per minute, on the other hand, for some high-speed bearings, the data of rotations per minute maybe only just a few hundred. There are also some other differences between the two. Generally, low-speed bearings have a rougher appearance, and the joints between parts are looser. To ensure its accuracy, the precision of high-speed bearing is generally very smooth on the surface, and the distance between the inner ring and outer ring is minimal, the accuracy is much higher. Many high-speed bearings are also super-precision bearings. It normally use special high speed grease. In terms of material, there is also a slightly difference between high-speed bearing and low-speed bearing. High speed bearings are generally made of very high hardness steel, which can withstand the pressure caused by excessively high speeds. If it’s low, some common materials are used, the requirements for hardness and durability of the material are relatively reduced. What to do if the high-speed bearing is overloaded and hot? 1) In the case…
When bearings are 100% inspected with all dimensions on approved drawings based on GB or ISO standard, we confirm bearings are qualified. Here we would like to share you with a case: One day we received an urgent request from our customer, that they asked us to deliver one SL bearing (full complement cylindrical roller bearing) to them in short time, reason was that the bearings delivered from their current supplier were rejected by their end user. The problem was the flatness of the end face of outer ring. End user inspected the flatness of the end face of outer ring by ZEISS Coordinate Measuring Machine, result was 0.14mm, thus bearings were rejected due to too big flatness 0.14mm. All other parameters are qualified based on GB/ISO standard. For us such problem is the first time to hear, so what is the flatness of the end face of outer ring? See below sketch: This parameter is generally marked on assembly drawing or not? See below sketch: We go further to analyze this issue, following facts were found: There is no GB/ISO standard of the parameter “flatness of end face of outer ring” for any kinds of bearings, so on assembly…
