In the complex network of mechanical operation, bearings are indispensable key components. The correct choice of their type is directly related to the performance, life and reliability of mechanical equipment. Next, we will learn how to choose the right bearing type from multiple dimensions.
Part1
Selection based on load characteristics
1
Load size: In light load scenarios, ball bearings are ideal due to their point contact characteristics. For instruments and office equipment, ball bearings can easily cope with them. Roller bearings carry loads through line contact, have stronger load-bearing capacity, and are suitable for heavy load conditions.
2

Load direction: When the bearing mainly bears radial loads, cylindrical roller bearings and deep groove ball bearings can provide stable support; if it mainly bears axial loads, thrust ball bearings and thrust roller bearings can effectively block axial displacement; if it bears both radial and axial loads at the same time, angular contact ball bearings and tapered roller bearings can take both into account with their unique contact angle design.
Part2
Selection based on speed requirements
1
High-speed operation: Ball bearings have low friction resistance and low heat generation, which are suitable for high-speed operation scenarios.
2

Low speed and heavy load: Roller bearings can better withstand heavy loads when running at low speed.
Part3
Selection according to the requirements of self-aligning performance
1
Need to align: Self-aligning ball bearings and self-aligning roller bearings have self-aligning functions. When the shaft is prone to bending or the concentricity of the two bearing seat holes is poor, the axis deviation can be automatically adjusted to ensure the smooth operation of the equipment. They are often used in papermaking machinery and textile machinery.
2

No need to align: Most high-precision equipment has strict requirements on the axis positioning. At this time, ordinary cylindrical roller bearings and deep groove ball bearings can be selected.
Part4
Consider the convenience of installation and maintenance
1
Compact structure: Thin-walled bearings can be selected in equipment with limited space.
2

Easy to install and disassemble: The installation and disassembly process of deep groove ball bearings is relatively simple, which can reduce maintenance costs.
Part5
Combined with economic considerations
1
Initial cost: Compared with ceramic bearings, the cost of chrome steel bearings is low in raw material cost and the purchase price is affordable; the cost of ceramic bearings is high in raw material cost and the price is relatively high. If the budget is limited, chrome steel bearings may be more suitable.
2

Life cycle cost: In addition to the purchase cost, the service life and maintenance cost of the bearing should also be considered. Although some high-performance bearings have a large initial investment, they can significantly reduce maintenance costs and extend the service life of the equipment. In the long run, they are more economical.
