Various types of bearings are used to lessen this friction force for moving mechanisms such as machines. The bearing gets its name from the fact that it bears a turning axle or shaft, but those parts used for sliding surfaces are also called bearings. Bearings include rolling bearings, which use balls, or rollers called "rolling elements." The history of rolling bearings goes back a long time, but there has been striking technological progress in recent years. Such technological innovations have become an extremely important factor for various types of machines and equipment. This Rolling Bearing Handbook provides a description of the fundamentals and proper use of rolling bearings in easy-to-understand terms. We hope you find this information helpful. 2 *01-15 英語_*01-15 英語 16/05/19 11:08 ページ 3 NTN Rolling Bearings Handbook Contents 1 1 Rolling Bearings …………………………04 9 Bearing Internal Clearance and Preload …45 2 1.1 Sliding Friction and Rolling Friction …04 9.1 Bearing Internal Clearance …………45 1.2 Sliding Bearings and 9.2 Internal Clearance Selection …………46 Rolling Bearings ………………………04 9.3 Preload …………………………………47 3 Classification and 10 Allowable Speed …………………………53 2 Characteristicsof Rolling Bearings ……05 4 2.1 Rolling Bearing Construction …………05 Bearing Characteristics …………………54 2.2 Classification of Rolling Bearings ……06 11 2.3 Bearing Manufacturing Process ……08 11.1 Friction…………………………………54 5 2.4 Characteristics …………………………09 11.2 Temperature Rise ……………………54 11.3 Sound …………………………………55 3 Bearing Selection…………………………16 6 Lubrication…………………………………57 3.1 Selection Procedure …………………16 12 3.2 Types and Performance Comparison 17 12.1 Grease Lubrication …………………57 7 3.3 Bearing Arrangement …………………18 12.2 Oil Lubrication ………………………62 4 Main Dimensions and Bearing Numbers …19 13 External Bearing Sealing Devices ……65 8 4.1 Main Dimensions ………………………19 4.2 Bearing Numbers………………………20 14 Bearing Materials …………………………66 9 5 Bearing Precision…………………………22 14.1 Raceway and Rolling Element Materials …………66 22 5.1 Dimension and Turning Precision …… 14.2 Cage materials ………………………66 10 5.2 Bearing Precision Measurement Methods 26 15 Shaft and Housing Design………………67 6 Load Rating and Life ……………………27 11 15.1 Fixing of Bearings ……………………67 6.1 Bearing Life ……………………………27 15.2 Bearing Fitting Dimensions …………68 6.2 Basic Rating Life and 15.3 Shaft and Housing Precision ………69 Basic Dynamic Load Rating …………27 12 6.3 Adjusted Rating Life …………………28 Handling ……………………………………70 6.4 Machine Applications and 16 Requisite Life …………………………29 16.1 Mounting ………………………………70 13 6.5 Basic Static Load Rating ……………29 16.2 Post-Installation Running Test ……72 6.6 Allowable Static Equivalent Load ……30 16.3 Bearing Removal ……………………72 16.4 Press Fit and Pullout Force …………75 14 7 Bearing Load ………………………………32 17 Bearing Damage and Corrective Measures …76 7.1 Load Used for Shafting ………………32 15 7.2 Bearing Load Distribution ……………34 36 7.3 Equivalent Load ……………………… NTN Electronic Catalog Operation Method …82 7.4 Allowable Axial Load …………………37 16 Bearing Life Calculation Examples ………84 8 Fits …………………………………………39 Reference Material 90 8.1 Bearing Fits ……………………………39 (Standard Symbols for Various Countries) … 17 8.2 Fit Selection ……………………………40 8.3 Fit Calculation …………………………42 3 *01-15 英語_*01-15 英語 16/05/19 11:08 ページ 4 NTN Rolling Bearings Handbook 1.

  • Long Term Storage Procedure - Large AC Motors Storage Storage Requirements for Motors That Will Not Be Placed in Service for at Least Six Months from Date of Shipment
    Long Term Storage Procedure - Large AC Motors Storage Storage requirements for motors that will not be placed in service for at least six months from date of shipment. Improper motor storage will result in seriously reduced reliability and failure. An electric motor that does not experience regular usage while being exposed to normally humid atmospheric conditions is likely to develop rust in the bearings or rust particles from surrounding surfaces may contaminate the bearings. The electrical insulation may absorb excess moisture leading to motor winding failure. Preparation for Storage If the motor is to be stored for any period of time prior to installation, it should be placed in an area that is clean, dry and warm. 1. Motors are to be kept in their original containers or provided with equivalent protection and stored in a location that is free from extremes in temperature, humidity and corrosive environments. If the storage location is cold, damp or severe humidity changes exist, the space heaters must be energized. 2. Motor must be stored in an environment with low vibration levels (less than 2 mils). If unusual vibration levels exist at the storage location, the motor should be protected with isolation pads Note: High environmental vibration can result in bearing damage or failure. 3. All breathers and drains are to be operable while in storage and/or the moisture drain plugs removed. Motors must be stored so the drain is at the lowest point. 4. Lubrication Requirements a. Motors with grease lubricated anti-friction bearings are shipped with the correct amount of grease in the bearings and do not require lubrication during storage periods up to 12 months.

  • LECTURE NOTES on MACHINE DESIGN II III B.Tech II Semester
    LECTURE NOTES ON MACHINE DESIGN II III B.Tech II Semester UNIT 1 JOURNAL BEARINGS 1.1 WHY TO STUDY FRICTION, WEAR & LUBRICATION? Moving parts of every machine is subjected to friction and wear. Friction consumes and wastes energy. Wear causes changes in dimensions and eventual breakdown of the machine element and the entire machine. The loss of just a few milligrams of material in the right place, due to wear can cause a production machine or an automobile to be ready for replacement. If we imagine the amount of material rendered useless by way of wear, it is startling! Lots of materials ranging from Antimony to zinc, including titanium, vanadium, iron, carbon, copper, aluminum etc., would be lost. It is therefore essential to conserve the natural resources through reduction in wear. Lubrication plays a vital role in our great and complex civilization. 1.2 BEARINGS A bearing is machine part, which support a moving element and confines its motion. The supporting member is usually designated as bearing and the supporting member may be journal. Since there is a relative motion between the bearing and the moving element, a certain amount of power must be absorbed in overcoming friction, and if the surface actually touches, there will be a rapid wear. 1.2.1 Classification: Bearings are classified as follows: 1. Depending upon the nature of contact between the working surfaces:- a) Sliding contact bearings b) Rolling contact bearings. a) SLIDING BEARINGS: Hydrodynamically lubricated bearings Bearings with boundary lubrication Bearings with Extreme boundary lubrication. Bearings with Hydrostatic lubrication. b) ROLLING ELEMENT BEARINGS: .
