Tight and Loose Fits for Radial Ball Bearings

Image
Selecting appropriate shaft and housing tightness fits are critical in optimizing a single row   radial ball bearing ’s  performance and life. A bearing can only perform to its full capacity when it is correctly fitted on the shaft and in the housing. Improper fits can lead to undesirable operating conditions and early failure. Below are some of the common considerations bearing users should consider: Direction, type, and magnitude of loads Based on the actual applied axial and radial loads an equivalent radial load is calculated. Generally, tighter fits are required as the load increases. Further, rings subjected to circumferential loading should have tight fits. For rings subjected to only point loading, a loose fit may be used. Inner or outer ring rotation Typically, the ring that is rotating requires an interference fit, and the non-rotating ring would have a slightly loose fit. The size and type of bearing specified Thin type and minia

Roller Bearing Vs Ball Bearing Differences

Image
If you wish to have some basic idea about roller bearing vs. ball bearing you are perhaps in the right place. Though we must have certainly come across roller bearing and ball bearing, we may not be aware of the main differences between the two. When you look at them, superficially you may not be able to find much difference. However in spite of similar looks they have different uses. Over the next few lines, we will try and find out the major differences between the two. How Do Bearings Work The mechanics of bearing are the same. They come with a ball which is set within an external or internal ring. When this happens, it allows the force to be applied to the ball. This is often referred to as loading. Loading can be of two types, radial loading and thrust loading. When you choose radial load, it means that the bearing will roll or rotate when it is under tension. On the other hand, when you use a thrust load, it will be subject to force depending on the a

Single row deep groove ball bearings

Image
Single row deep groove ball bearings are the most widely used roller bearing type in the world due to their versatility and overall performance. They are characterized by having deep raceway grooves in which the inner and outer rings have circular arcs of slightly larger radius than that of the balls. They also have non-separable rings. Their straightforward basic design has many advantages: ·          Excellent for high speeds ·          Good radial load capacity ·          Acceptable axial load capacity in both directions ·          Have low torque capacity at startup and running speeds ·          Can operate with low noise ·          Require little maintenance As flexible as the performance is, the configurations of single row ball bearings is also as versatile. These bearings often have steel shields or rubber seals installed on one or both sides and are pre-lubricated with grease. Also, snap rings are sometimes used on the outside edge. While many different

Deep Groove Ball Bearings for a wide range of applications

Image
Deep Groove  Ball Bearing  is a common type of bearings and it is used in several industries from heavy machinery to high precision apparatus. This type of bearings consists of four elements that include inner ring, outer ring, cage that holds balls and ball bearings. Because of the flat surface on outer ring and inner ring, Deep Groove Ball Bearings provides a larger area of contact that delivers high performance and high load capacity. Although Deep Groove Ball Bearings come in hundreds of models and sizes with different design and even different material used in inner ring, outer ring and the cage but basically they are categorized in 4 main sections. Types of Deep Groove Ball Bearings Based on different designs, structures and ultimately applications, there are mainly 4 types of Deep Groove Ball Bearings. Let’s see what these deep groove ball bearings do and what the core difference between them is. Single Row Deep Groove Ball Bearings In this particu

Angular contact ball bearings applications

Image
Angular Contact Ball Bearings  are used in a variety of applications and equipments yet these bearings are exclusively designed and developed for carrying high radial and axial load capacities for a long time. There are three types of Angular Contact Ball Bearings, single row bearings, double row bearings and four point contact ball bearings. Besides the difference in their design and structure, they also have different applications and properties. Single row bearings are used to deliver high thrust in one direction while the double row bearings come with high thrust capacity in both directions. Design Attributes of Angular Contact Ball Bearings Angular Contact  Ball Bearings  consist of an inner ring, outer ring, balls and the cage that holds those balls at a specific angle. Because of the specific angle and geometry of both rings and their shoulders, Angular Contact Ball Bearings deliver high axial load capacity. There are many additional design attributes and options a

Radial ball bearings variation aspects and application

Image
Radial Ball Bearings are well known for their versatility and capability of carrying high axial and radial loads from either direction. Because of their high performance and precision, Radial  Ball Bearings are used in many industries  and precision apparatus. Radial Ball Bearings are consist of an outer ring, inner ring, high precision rolling balls and a cage that hold those balls at right spot. The deep groove design of the rings enables these bearings to operate on high speed with high precision. Design Attributes of Radial Ball Bearings Radial Ball Bearings are designed and developed to work in contaminated environment for a long time and because of their structure and material used, they are one of the most durable ball bearings available in the market. Popular ball bearings makers like Timken also provide an extra coating for corrosion resistance on some model depending on the requirements and their applications. Radial Ball Bearings are either made open or with

Automotive sector boost The Demand for Ball and Roller Bearings

Image
Allowing for great versatility and flexibility, bearings are used in every  industry  that involves motion. That is to say, virtually every kind of machinery or equipment — everything from household appliances and automobile parts to aerospace and defense equipment — makes use of bearings or is made with equipment containing bearings. There are two primary types of bearings: roller bearings and ball bearings. Cylinders Roller bearings  use cylinders to maintain separation between moving parts.  Ball bearings , on the other hand, utilize balls to separate the shifting pieces. Both roller bearings and ball bearings are designed to reduce rotational friction while supporting axial and radial loads. Ball bearings operate at higher speeds than roller bearings and can handle moderate radial and axial loads. Roller bearings can achieve relatively high speeds, but are specifically designed to carry heavy radial loads. Common Bearing Applications and Uses Bearings are uniqu
