The main application of industrial bearing
The main application of industrial bearings can be considered as reducing friction between rotating and moving surfaces. Due to the use of industrial bearings, the contact between the surfaces is reduced and as a result, the productivity and efficiency of the system is improved. The bearing maintains the axle so that it is prevented from loosening. Therefore, the lateral movement of the axis and the collision of fixed and moving parts will be prevented. Reducing the cost of maintenance and repairs, increasing the lifespan of industrial systems, reducing abnormal sounds, and preventing the depreciation of industrial systems are other advantages of using industrial bearings.
Uses of Industrial Bearing
Decreasing angular contact, improving rotational movements and reducing depreciation are the most important applications of industrial bearings. Industrial bearings are widely used in industries such as petrochemical, agriculture, food industry, medical equipment, steel industry, bicycle manufacturing, watchmaking, aviation industry and automobile manufacturing. For example, in the automotive industry, industrial bearings are used in various car parts such as wheels, steering wheels, mirrors, doors, windshield wipers, alternators, seats, car engines, and electric windows.
Preventing the steering wheel from slipping and stabilizing it is due to the presence of bearings. In the agricultural industry, the main use of bearings in agricultural machinery such as combine harvesters, threshers, tractors, water pump motors and plowing machines can be clearly seen.
Materials used in industrial bearings construction
Bearings must withstand a lot of pressure. For this reason, stainless steel, brass alloy and steel are used in their construction. It is very important that the bearing is able to withstand high pressure and has high resistance against breakage and wear. In sensitive industries such as agriculture and food industries, it is very important that the bearings used have high resistance against rust, corrosion and decay. For this reason, polymer bearings (such as polyester) are also used in these industries.
Safety Tips Using Industrial Bearing
Bearings are able to repel axial and radial forces, as long as the load caused by these forces is not heavy. Therefore, bearings can withstand light radial and axial loads. If the pressure increases, the possibility of breaking and deforming the bearing structure will increase. Bearings are used to repel radial and thrust forces. Increased pressure can lead to the crushing of the bearing balls. Therefore, it is very important to use roller bearings instead of bearings when heavy pressure is applied.
Types of industrial bearings
Industrial bearings have different types. The classification of industrial bearings is based on the angle, the method of connecting the axes, the revolution, the material of the bearing and the type of rolling balls in the bearing structure.
Deep groove bearings
These bearings are able to be used at high speeds and have a very simple construction. Deep groove bearings are also called six thousand bearings in the market. Deep groove industrial bearings are capable of bearing radial, axial and composite radial-axial loads. Double row deep groove bearings are used when the single row deep groove ball bearing is not able to bear the load. Double deep groove ball bearing has larger inner and outer diameter compared to double deep groove ball bearing.
Round floor bearing
The round bottom bearing is known as fifty one thousand bearing. This bearing creates a very smooth and smooth movement and prevents the wear of moving parts on each other. There are three-piece and five-piece types of round bottom bearings. This bearing is not a suitable choice for applying radial force, however, it has a very simple installation.
Angular call bearings
This type of industrial bearing is known as Haft-Hazari bearing, and the inner and outer rings have an angle to each other. Increasing the angle leads to an increase in the load pressure tolerance of the bearing. Angular contact bearings are used in lathes, CNC, milling machines and industrial machines. It is very important that the heavy axial open angular contact bearing is not directed into the ball groove. This point should be observed regarding the bearing installation method.
Self -setting bearings
This bearing, which is known as two thousand bearings, has two rows of balls and a common outer ring. Due to the benefit of curvature in the groove of the balls, it will be able to remove and adjust deviations and misalignments in the bearing shaft.
Slim section bearings
The narrow section bearing is similar to the deep groove bearing and is widely used in the aviation industry, welding fixtures and industrial robots. The cross-sectional dimensions of these industrial bearings are very small compared to their diameter, and for this reason they occupy little space and lead to an increase in accuracy.
