describe

As the rhythmic core of industrial transmission, the precise operation of gear bearings not only comes from the meshing and occlusion of the tooth profile and raceway, but also depends on the diverse collaboration between materials science and structural design. From involute gears that accurately transmit torque to deep groove ball bearings that carry radial loads; from cylindrical gear pairs that outline transmission foundations to tapered roller bearings, centripetal bearings and thrust bearings that deal with complex working conditions - each component carries unique mechanical characteristics and industrial mission. The subtle differences in the ratio of carbon-chromium in the material, the precise control of tolerance levels, and the different treatments of surface quenching processes give gear bearings a wide range of mechanical personality, so that they can not only burst out strong power in heavy machinery, but also transmit delicate operation in precision instruments. For engineers, choosing the right gear bearing combination is not only a reflection of technical strength, but also an extension of industrial aesthetics - they are like characters in mechanical poems, transforming power into a hierarchical symphony of operation.

Deep Groove Ball Bearing: Precision Coordinator of Industrial Rotation

Structure and Materials

It consists of an inner ring, an outer ring, a steel ball and a cage, and the ratio of raceway depth to the diameter of the steel ball has been optimized. Commonly used materials are GCr15 bearing steel (containing 1.0% carbon and 1.5% chromium), and high-end models use ceramic balls (such as Si3N4) or stainless steel (AISI 440C). Surface treatment includes carburizing quenching (hardness up to HRC60-65), coating rust prevention (such as DLC diamond-like coating), and raceway accuracy is ISO-grade (P0/P6/P5/P4/P2).

Performance characteristics

  • : Under pure radial load, the rated dynamic load C value can reach 20-200kN (such as 6208 model C=19.1kN), suitable for uniform speed operation equipment such as motors and pumps;
  • : Can withstand small axial loads on both directions (≤10% radial loads), and adapt to temperature deformation through clearance adjustment (C0/C1/C2/C3/C4);
  • : The maximum speed of P0 grade 6205 bearings reaches 13000rpm under grease lubrication, and can be increased by 30% when oil lubrication (need to be matched with a low resistance cage).

Application scenarios

  • : Motor rotor support (such as three-phase asynchronous motor end cover bearings) and conveyor belt rollers in general machinery;
  • : CNC machine tool spindle (requires P4 level accuracy, radial jump ≤5μm), industrial robot joints;
  • : Fluoroelastic sealing ring can be selected in high temperature environments (-40℃~120℃), and maze dust covers (such as mine conveyors) are required for dust scenes.

Selection suggestions

  • General scenario: 6200 series (inner diameter 10-50mm), clearance C3 level adapted to medium load;
  • High-speed working conditions: 7000 series angular contact ball bearings (contact angle 15°/25°), lubricated with oil mist;
  • Introduction solution: NSK 6000 series (high cost performance), or domestic HRB brand (precision up to P6 level)

Tapered Roller Bearing: Industrial solver for composite loads

Structure and Materials

It consists of a conical inner ring (taper roller assembly), a conical outer ring and stamping cage, with a contact angle of 10°-30° (light load type 10°-16°, heavy load type 25°-30°). The material is made of high-carbon chrome bearing steel (G20CrNiMo), the rollers and raceways have been super finely processed (surface roughness Ra≤0.2μm), and the high-end models use carburizing and quenching process (effective hardening layer depth 0.8-1.5mm).

Performance characteristics

  • : It can bear both radial load and unidirectional axial load at the same time, and the radial load capacity is 1.5-3 times that of deep groove ball bearings of the same size (such as radial rated dynamic load C=55.8kN, axial C0a=63kN);
  • : Eliminate internal clearance through axial preload (such as pairing installation), and improve rigidity by 40% (suitable for spindle positioning);
  • : Rolling friction coefficient is 0.0015-0.003, 80% lower than sliding bearings, but heating at high speed requires oil lubrication (the limit speed is 60-70% of deep groove ball bearings).

Application scenarios

  • : Excavator slewing support and truck drive axle (need to withstand axial thrust and road impacts);
  • : Lathe spindle rear support (paired, contact angle 25°, axial stiffness up to 15N/μm);
  • : Rolling mill working roller bearing (heavy-load type 35° contact angle, impact load resistance reaches 2.5 times the rated value).

Selection suggestions

  • Light load precision: 32000 series (single row, contact angle 15°), suitable for printing press roller shaft;
  • Heavy load impact: 31300 series (reinforced roller, convex shape modification design), used in mine crushers;
  • Introduction solution: NTN 30300 series (cost-performance ratio is better than domestic products, life coefficient Z=1.3), axial preload must be controlled during installation (it is recommended to use a torque wrench to calculate it according to 0.01-0.03D・N・m, D is the bearing inner diameter mm).
