Bearings What this product does Reduces friction and supports rotating or sliding components to enable smooth motion. Carries radial and/or axial loads while allowing controlled movement of shafts, wheels, or other rotating parts. Why you need it Improves efficiency by lowering energy loss from friction. Extends equipment life by reducing wear on shafts and housings. Stabilizes rotation for quieter, more reliable operation. Key benefits Smooth operation: Designed to minimize friction and vibration in rotating assemblies. Durability: Constructed to resist wear under normal operating loads and speeds. Versatility: Available in common bearing types and sealing arrangements to suit different applications. Low maintenance options: Sealed or prelubricated choices reduce the need for frequent servicing. Important attributes to consider Function: Supports radial loads (perpendicular to the shaft), axial loads (along the shaft), or a combination depending on the bearing type. Compatibility: Select a bearing that matches your shaft diameter, housing bore, and mounting method. Confirm load direction and magnitude before choosing. Size: Offered in multiple sizes; ensure correct inner diameter, outer diameter, and width for proper fit. Material: Common materials include hardened steel and corrosionresistant variants; options may include different cage materials and seals. Performance: Rated for specific load capacities and maximum RPMs; choose based on the speed and load requirements of your application. Installation and maintenance tips Verify dimensions and clearances before installation to avoid misfit or premature failure. Use appropriate tools for pressfitting or locking assemblies to prevent damage. For unsealed bearings, follow lubrication recommendations (type and interval) to maintain performance. Inspect periodically for signs of wear, noise, or increased vibration and as needed. Practical use scenarios 1) Industrial motor : worn bearings in electric motors to restore smooth rotation, reduce noise, and prevent rotor damage. Select a bearing that matches the motor shaft diameter and speed rating. 2) Conveyor systems: Use bearings in roller assemblies to support continuous operation under moderate radial loads and frequent startstop cycles. Choose sealed or lubricated options for dusty environments. 3) Small machinery and consumer products: Bearings in gearboxes, fans, and wheels improve efficiency and extend service intervals. Match bearing size and load rating to the specific component. Trust and selection guidance Choose a bearing that matches your application's load type, speed, and environmental conditions. When uncertain, measure shaft and housing dimensions and consult load and speed requirements to identify the correct bearing type and sealing/lubrication option. Proper selection and installation ensure performance and long service life.
