The main parts of the bearing

Bearings are "parts that assist objects' rotation". They support the shaft that rotates inside the machinery.

Machines that use bearings include automobiles, airplanes, electric generators and so on. They are even used in household appliances that we all use every day, such as refrigerators, vacuum cleaners and air-conditioners.

Bearings support the rotating shafts of the wheels, gears, turbines, rotors, etc. in those machines, allowing them to rotate more smoothly.

In this way, all sorts of machines require a great many shafts for rotation, which means bearings are almost always used, to the point where they have become known as "the bread and butter of the machine industry". At first glance, bearings may seem like simple mechanical parts, but we could not survive without bearings.

Bearings play a vital role in machinery, and the items it is equipped with cannot be ignored either.

The following is a detailed introduction to the common bearing matching items:

 

1. Bearing cover The bearing cover is an important part to protect the bearing, usually made of cast iron or cast steel, and is installed above the bearing to prevent external contamination and damage.

 

2. Sealing ring The sealing ring ensures that the bearing is completely sealed to prevent oil leakage and dust ingress, such as hydraulic sealing rings, oil seals and O-rings.

 

3. Bearing seat The bearing seat fixes the bearing on the machine to increase the strength and stability of the bearing, and is usually made of cast iron or cast steel.

 

4. Bearing bracket The bearing bracket is installed above the bearing seat to withstand various forces generated during the operation of the machine and enhance the stability and strength of the bearing.

 

5. Bearing sprocket Bearing sprocket is used in transmission, installed on the shaft, and transmits force by the chain, which is one of the common accessories in the transmission system.

 

6. Bearing coupling The bearing coupling connects the motor and the equipment, increases the heavy-duty capacity of the transmission system, and ensures the normal operation of the machine.

 

The above are some common bearing accessories, and the specific choice is based on different use needs.
