Table of Contents Definition and use of ball bearings and roller bearings Types of ball bearings Types of ball bearings Rolling bearings are the most widely used basic parts of various machinery. This article will explore the advantages and disadvantages of ball bearings and roller bearings. Definition and use of ball bearings and roller bearings Rolling bearings are generally composed of an outer ring (housing washer), inner ring ( shaft washer), rolling element, and cage. Still, not all these components are necessary, such as some bearings without the outer ring (housing washer) or witho ..read more

what-is-a-forklift-mast-bearing？ We often meet some clients who ask about Forklift Mast bearings. Whether you call them forklift mast guide rollers, forklift roller bearings, or mast guide bearings, these bearings are designed for heavy load-carrying capacities and high intermittent shock loads, such as those in forklift applications. What Are Called Forklift Mast Bearings? Forklift bearings are a very important hardware component used in forklifts. Forklift bearings play an irreplaceable role in the operation of forklifts.

Bearing tolerances, i.e., dimensional accuracy, running accuracy, etc., are regulated by standards such as ISO and JIS. For dimensional accuracy, these standards specify the tolerances and allowable error limits of the boundary dimensions (inner diameter, outer diameter, width, assembled bearing width, chamfer, and taper) required when installing the bearing on the shaft in the bearing housing. For machining accuracy, the standards provide allowable variation limits on bore, mean bore, outside diameter, mean outside diameter, and raceway width or wall thickness (for thrust bearings). Running a ..read more

NSK Bearing Part Number System Order codes for bearings are made up of a combination of letters and numbers. This alphanumeric combination denotes the type, size and structure of the bearing. Within each order code, a distinction is made between the basic designation and any suffixes and prefixes. The basic designation indicates the bearing type and the bore size. These basic designations are defined in the German DIN 623 standard and the relevant ISO standard. For most bearing types, the basic designation is made up of numbers, but some are alphanumeric. Prefixes and suffixes denote special ..read more

Bearing Selection Guide 2022 latest bearing type selection guide. To make the mechanical device play the expected performance, choosing the most suitable bearing is very important. In addition, the selection of bearings requires research from many factors and evaluation of the piece of bearings from various angles. Although there are no special requirements, the general sequence is as follows. Master the operating conditions of mechanical devices and bearings, etc. Clear requirements for bearings Select the bearing Selection of bearing arrangement Select bearing size Selection of bearing sp ..read more

Better performing, longer-lasting, smoother running. Failure of critical process machinery is expensive. It can result in costs of up to thousands of dollars per hour in lost production. Downtime doesn’t just hurt the companies that depend on these machines; it also impacts the companies that manufacture them. OEMs selling failure-prone machines risk damaging their reputations and losing business to competitors. Yet this can be avoided. A more robust bearing can improve service life and have more extended trouble-free machine operation with lower operating costs. Life test result ..read more

Bearing clearance is also known as bearing clearance. When the bearing is not installed in the shaft or bearing box, it will be its inner ring or outer ring of a fixed, and then not be fixed when the side to do radial or axial movement of the amount of movement. Bearing internal clearance refers to a bearing circle relative to another bearing circle radial movement of the total distance (radial internal clearance) or axial movement (axial internal clearance). Understanding the Importance of Bearing Clearance Understanding the importance of bearing clearance 1, The so-called bearing clearanc ..read more

1. What are plastic bearings? Plastic bearings-as the name suggests, the materials used in the bearings are engineering plastic materials. The bearing inner ring, bearing outer ring, and cage are all engineering plastic materials. The bearing rolling bodies include glass balls, plastic balls, or stainless steel balls. Plastic bearings currently in use can generally be divided into plastic rolling bearings and plastic sliding bearings. In recent years, engineering plastic products have been used more and more widely due to their excellent properties. Engineering plastics have broad application ..read more
