Application and maintenance of deep groove ball bearings

    Since the reform and opening up, as we joined the WTO and gradually emerged from the international competition, China's bearing industry has been developing stably and rapidly.

    According to the annual report of the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2004, the national bearing industry and state-owned holding enterprises and the non-public enterprises with annual sales of more than 5 million yuan have reached 927. In 2003, the bearing output of the whole industry was 4.1 billion sets, and the bearing sales revenue was 39.2 billion yuan. China's bearing sales have jumped to the fourth place in the world, becoming the world's largest bearing production country. In particular, miniature and small deep groove ball bearings have become the world's most productive countries. (Source: China Economic Net)

    As a kind of sub-class of bearings, deep groove ball bearings are widely used in modern equipment manufacturing industry because of their wide application and long service life. The processing precision and quality of equipments have been greatly improved. It can be said that deep groove ball bearings In the future equipment installation will be a large number of applications, and its market prospects will be broader.

    The wide application of deep groove ball bearings has benefited from the common understanding of the majority of equipment workers, and has been accepted by everyone for its excellent performance. I have been engaged in the maintenance and repair of mechanical equipment for many years. I have contacted deep groove ball bearings in many aspects, and I have a lot of understanding about its installation, use and maintenance. I have summarized some experiences and discussed with you.

    Overview

    Deep groove ball bearings generally consist of a pair of ferrules, a set of rigid balls and a set of cages. The deep groove ball bearing type code is 6. It is the most common and widely used type of bearing. Deep The groove ball bearing has simple structure and convenient use, and is the largest in production batch and bears a certain axial load. When the radial clearance of the bearing is increased, the function of the angular contact ball bearing can withstand large axial load. ,

    Deep groove ball bearings are mainly used to withstand pure radial loads, and can also withstand radial loads and axial loads. When they are only subjected to pure radial loads, the contact angle is zero. When the deep groove ball bearing has large radial clearance, it has the performance of angular contact bearing and can withstand large axial load. The deep groove ball bearing has a small friction coefficient and the limit rotation speed is also very high, especially in Deep groove ball bearings are more advantageous than thrust ball bearings under high-speed operating conditions with large axial loads. Compared with other types of bearings of the same size, such bearings have small friction factor and high limit speed. In the case of a thrust ball bearing, the bearing can be subjected to axial load. After the deep groove ball bearing is mounted on the shaft, the axial displacement of the shaft or the outer casing can be limited to the axial clearance of the bearing. Meanwhile, when the outer casing When the hole and the shaft (or the outer ring to the inner ring) are relatively inclined, (not more than 8-16 according to the clearance) can still work normally. However, if there is a slope, it is necessary to reduce the bearing life.

    Compared with other bearings of the same size, deep groove ball bearings have the lowest friction loss and high limit speed. In the case of high speed and should not be used with thrust ball bearings, such bearings can be used to withstand pure axial loads. Accuracy, and the use of bakelite, bronze, hard aluminum and other materials of the physical cage, its speed can also be improved.

Lubrication tips for Swedish SKF bearings

    Rust prevention performance
The grease used in the bearing must have an anti-rust effect, and the anti-rust agent is preferably insoluble in water. Grease should have good adhesion to form an oil film on the surface of the steel, even if the grease is filled with water.
Mechanical stability
Grease becomes soft during machining and causes leakage. When there is a vibration application example, grease will be trapped inside the bearing by the bearing housing. If the mechanical stability of the grease is insufficient, the grease will be continuously thrown out of the bearing, which will cause mechanical collapse of the soap structure and destruction of the grease.
Oil seal
Oil seals are necessary to protect bearings and lubricants from external contamination, and no matter whether debris or moisture can penetrate into the bearings to prevent damage. Proper installation and maintenance is an important factor in the longest service life of the bearing. At the same time, attention must be paid to the cleanliness of the bearings, the correctness of the choice of bearings and the selection of appropriate installation and maintenance tools. Bearings must be protected from contaminants and moisture and must be properly installed and lubricated. The design of the bearing arrangement, the condition of the oil seal, the type of lubricant and the lubrication cycle, as well as the special maintenance play an important role.
Mixed grease
Never mix incompatible greases. If two incompatible greases are mixed, the consistency will usually soften and eventually damage may occur due to the loss of grease. If you don't know which type of grease the bearing originally used, you should first remove the old grease inside and outside the bearing to add grease.
Classification of oils and fats
According to temperature and working conditions: grease can be classified according to their allowable working temperature. The consistency and lubricating ability of grease are affected by working temperature. Bearings operating at a certain temperature must choose the correct consistency and good at the same temperature. Lubricating grease. Grease is manufactured in different operating temperature ranges and can be classified into low temperature (LT), medium temperature (MT) and high temperature (HT) greases. At the same time, there is a type of grease called EP (extrusion resistant) or EM (resistant to extrusion and added molybdenum disulfide), with additives to enhance the strength of the lubricant film.
