Design and Characteristics of Ball and Roller Bearings

SINGLE ROW DEEP GROOVE RADIAL BALL BEARINGS  are the most widely used bearings and utilize an uninterrupted raceway, which makes these bearings suitable for radial loads, or a combination of radial and thrust loads.  This design permits precision tolerances even sat high speed operation. The cage in this bearing is pressed steel.  For high speed bearings, machined brass cages are available.  Bearings with locating snap rings...

Some Fun Facts about Bearings

While it’s true that bearings might not come up in everyday conversations, they may never be the theme at Bingo night, or even come up during a heated game of trivia – but there are definitely a few things about bearings you don’t yet know, and they are far from boring! Bearings Aren’t New Nowadays Yes, there are many new ways we’ve found to implement the handy little buggers, but that’s not to say bearings haven’t in fact been around a very long...

How to Calculate Friction in a Sleeve Bearing

The friction present in a sleeve bearing depends upon several factors. For example, the constant value of the coefficient of friction depends upon what materials comprise the sleeve and bearing. Other important factors include the size of the shafts, the rotational speed and the lubricant viscosity. In a rolling-element bearing, its static friction (and the torque needed to overcome that force) usually exceeds its running friction. Consider all...

The Role of Bearings in Bicycle

The bicycle is a self-explanatory machine. Almost every part of it is there to be seen at a glance. So it’s all too easy to neglect or underestimate the hidden ball bearings which keep the moving parts on the move.In any mechanical device, where two bearing surfaces make frictional contact with each other, some means must be found of minimising the friction.In many cases, a well-lubricated “plain” bearing will do the job, especially if the bush...

Types of Rolling Contact Bearings

What is Bearing? A bearing is defined “as a part of a machine that allows one part to rotate or move in contact with another part with as little friction as possible”.  Bearings may be classified broadly according to the motions they allow and according to their principle of operation as well as by the directions of applied loads they can handle.  Additional functions include the transmission of loads and enabling the accurate location...
