Automotive air conditioning compressor bearings are experiencing the transition from ‘mechanical components’ to ‘intelligent systems’. New energy models of high-pressure, high-temperature, high-frequency demand and the strict constraints of environmental regulations, forcing bearing technology to insulation, durability, intelligent direction to accelerate the iteration. In the next three years, with the ability to innovate materials and l...

Wheel bearing is one of the key parts of the car, its main role is to carry the weight and provide accurate guidance for the rotation of the wheel hub, which requires it not only to withstand the axial load but also to withstand the radial load.   Conventional bearings for automotive wheels are made up of a combination of two sets of tapered roller bearings or ball bearings, and the mounting, greasing, sealing, and clearance adjustment of th...

If you belong to a mechanical industry, you must be aware of the uses of ball bearing units in machine parts available in the market. Ball bearing units, instead of quite importan...

Introduction If you belong to the agricultural sector, you must be aware of the importance to use right bearings in agricultural sectors so that the agricultural equipment must be able to withstand, corrosion, vibrations, and hard mechanical influences.  Some of the most common bearings used in agricultural sectors are listed below: Deep-Groove Ball Bearings Angular Contact Ball Bearings Tapered Roller Bearings Ball Bearing Units Apart ...

what full-complement cylindrical roller bearings are, common types of full-complement CRBs, those ones popularly used in the gearbox sector, and the reasons and the key quality control points....

“How do we know which lubricant is the most appropriate for the gearbox application?” Has this question even come to your mind? According to our research, this is the hottest topic our readers pick up for us....

Materials used for cages

Since the characteristics of materials used for cages greatly influence the performance and reliability of rolling bearings, the choice of materials is of great importance. It is necessary to select cage materials in accordance with required shape, ease of lubrication, strength, and abrasion resistance. Typical materials used for metallic cages are shown in Tables 13-3 and 13-4. In addition, phenolic resin machined cages and other synth...

Storage of bearings

In shipping bearings, since they are covered with proper anti-corrosion oil and are wrapped in antitarnish paper, the quality of the bearings is guaranteed as long as the wrapping paper is not damaged. If bearings are to be stored for a long time, it is advisable that the bearings be stored on shelves set higher than 30cm from the floor, at a humidity less than 65%, and at a temperature around 20℃. Avoid storage in places exposed dire...

Maintenance and inspection of bearings

Periodic and thorough maintenance and inspection are indispensable to drawing full performance from bearings and lengthening their useful life. Besides, prevention of accidents and down time by early detection of failures through maintenance and inspection greatly contributes to the enhancement of productivity and profitability. Cleaning Before dismounting a bearing for inspection, record the physical condition of the bearing, including...

Methods of analyzing bearing failures

It is important for enhancing productivity and profitability, as well as for accident prevention that abnormalities in bearings are detected during operation.Representative detection methods are described in the following section. 1)Noise checking Since the detection of abnormalities in bearings from noises requires ample experience, sufficient training must be given to inspectors. Given this, it is recommended that specific persons b...

Selection of bearing type

In selecting bearings, the most important thing is to fully understand the operating conditions of the bearings. The main factors to be considered are listed below: 1.Installation space Bearing can be installed in target equipment When a shaft is designed, its rigidity and strength are considered essential; therefore, the shaft diameter, i.e., bore diameter, is determined at start.For rolling bearings, since wide variety with different ...

Don’t Let That Large-Diameter Bearing Fail. Refurbish it First.

Bearings with diameters between 36 and 169 in. typically cost a lot and have long lead times, forcing end users to keep spare bearings on hand or face extensive downtime should a bearing fail. Therefore, it can make sense to replace a bearing before it degrades. Bearings removed this way often make good candidates for repair or refurbishment. But what qualifies a bearing as repairable? How are repairs carried out? And what kind of resul...

Avoiding bearing wear and damage during start-up and shut down

Massive rotors in hydroelectric generators, large ball mills, rolling mills, large electric motors, and steam and gas-turbine generators normally operate with great efficiency on oil films in sleeve and thrust bearings. But trouble arises when rotational speed is too low, as it is at starting and stopping, to generate a complete oil film. Then frictional drag and wear increase with metal-to-metal contact between the bearing and rotating...

The Benefits of Caged Balls: Boosted Lifetime and Reduced Noise

Caged balls offer several benefits, ranging from minimized wear to reduced maintenance. Let’s look deeper into caged balls, their benefits, and design tips for success. Caged balls are widely deployed in motion systems throughout industry. Whether used in ball bearings, linear guides, or ballscrew actuators, caged balls bring both performance and practicality. The addition of the cage minimizes wear, reduces noise, and extends mainten...

Bearing Mounting

For instrument bearings, certain special considerations should be emphasized: Heavy press fits should be avoided. Accuracy of mounting surfaces should be equal to accuracy of mating bearing surface. Misalignment for low torque and running accuracy should not exceed 1/4°. Loading across the bearing during assembly should be avoided. Axial positioning: Accurate axial positioning of the shaft relative to the housing requires shoulder...

Detect oil-film bearing failure

Scoring and wiping are two common causes of oil-film bearing failure. Scoring is characterized by circular parallel grooves on the bearing lining surface and are heavier at the load zone. Wiping results in the displacement of babbitt from one location to another. If you see air-moving equipment, chances are oil-film bearings lie at the heart of centrifugal and axial fans. Serious damage can result to the entire unit should these bearing...
