Bearing Selection
In Order To Achieve A Most Efficient Solution For Major Application,The Best Route Is To Use"Standard Bearings"A"standard bearing",Can Be Refer To Bearing That is Worldwide Demand And Large Volumes Manufactured.It Guarantees Continual And Stable Supplying While Better Pricing.But It Should Not Over Emphasize To Select A "Standard Bearing" The Following Conditions Are Necessary To Be Considered At Design
●Dimensional Size
●Material
●Lubrication
●Cover
●Cage Type
●Manufacturing Ability
●Assembly And Fits
●Packaging
●Quality Requirements
Although Different Designers May Be Different In Bearings Selection.The Following Is One Method That Works Well
1.Establish Operating Condition And Performance Requirements Such As Load, Speed, Noise, Etc.
2.Select A Bearing Configuration To Meet The Above Requirements.
Some Examples Of Configuration Types Are
1.Bearings Type:Ball Bearings,Needle Bearings Or Roller Bearings
2.Flanged Or Unflanged
2.With Cover Or Without Cover
4.Ball Complement/Size
●Determine Bearing Envelope To Accommodate Shaft And Housing Requirements. This step is critical to cost.It Is Quite Often More Cost-effective To Design The Housing And Shaft Around A Popular Bearing Size then Vice Versa.
●Specify Enclosures.Be Careful Not To Specify A More Expensive Enclosure Than Necessary To Perform Properly In The Application
●Specify Required Cage Type.For The Majority Of Application,The Standard Cage For A Particular chassis Size Will Be Adequate
●Determine The Bearing Noise Rating That Is Required Of The Application.For Most Application,Our Standard "No Code"Noise Rating.Will Provide Quieter Operation Than Most Other Components In The System. For Extremely Noise Sensitive Applications, A Quieter Noise Rating Should Be Specified When Placing Order
●Determine The Radial Play Specification.The Standard Radial Play Specification Will Be Adequate To Handle Normal Press Fits Moderate Temperature Differentials And Normal Speeds.
●Determine Lubrication Requirements.This Should Include Lubrication Characteristics And The Amount Of Lubricant Needed.This Is A Critical Step In The Performance And Reliability Of The Bearing In The Application.
●It Should Respect Both Cost And Performance Throughout This Process.The Key In Designing For The Lowest Total Cost Is To Involve The Sales And Application Engineering Staff Early In The Selection Process.Costs Will Be Greatly Impacted If The Engineers Are Early Involved At The Time Of Bearing Selection.BMZ Offers An Experienced Sales And Engineering Staff To Help In The Design And Selection Process Insuring Your Success.
