The Function and Effect of Bearing

Bearing is used to support the rotating parts in the machines, and can be slid and rotated in the movement. In the machines, bearings can be widely applied to various rotating parts, such as motors, engines, air blowers, pumps and so on. There are so many types of bearings, commonly including rolling bearings and sliding bearings. Usually, the rolling bearing consists of outer ring, inner ring, rolling element and cage. However, the sliding bearing consists of material block, cup and bushing.

The main functions and effects:

Supporting rotating parts:

As a strut member in the machine, bearing can withstand the axial force, radial force and torque from the rotating parts, so as to ensure the stable operation of the rotating parts.

Reducing friction:

Bearings provide support between rotating parts, avoid direct metal contact, reduce heat and energy loss due to friction, and thus improve the efficiency of mechanical equipment.

Power transfer:

Bearings can transfer the impetus of rotating parts to other parts to achieve the work of mechanical equipment.

Orientation and positioning:

The design and selection of bearings are very important, good bearings can accurately guide and position the rotating parts to ensure their movement on the specified track.

Reducing shock and buffering:

Bearings can play a role in reducing shock and buffering in mechanical equipment, reducing the damage of mechanical equipment caused by vibration and shock.

Increasing service life:

Good bearing design and correct use can reduce the wear and damage of mechanical equipment and extend its service life.

Cost saving:

The use of bearings can reduce the times of maintenance and repair of mechanical equipment to reduce maintenance costs.

Additional, bearing can be lubricated and covered according to different operating conditions and environments to make sure it normal operation. The use of bearing in mechanical equipment is very important. Reasonable selection, installation and maintenance of bearings can improve the performance and efficiency of mechanical equipment to reduce failure and damage risk as well as extend the service life of mechanical equipment.
