In the early 21st century, the widely used metal sliding bearing is the three-layer composite bearing. This bearing typically utilizes a carbon steel plate as its base. Sintering technology is applied to create a layer of spherical copper powder on the steel plate, followed by another layer of spherical copper powder on top. A thin layer (approximately 0.03mm) of PTFE lubricant is then sintered onto the copper powder layer. The middle layer of spherical copper powder primarily strengthens the bond between the steel plate and PTFE, while also contributing to bearing strength and lubrication during operation.

The use of advanced machine tools, tooling and processes is made possible due to the high volume scale requirements of bearing production. Such as CNC machine tools, three-jaw floating chuck and protective atmosphere heat treatment.

With the rear wheel drive of the car it is the following: by type - rollers, according to the number of rows - single column, in the form of rolling elements - conical. The common node is used for two such bearings. They can withstand considerable radial and axial loads.

A sleeve bearing (also known as a bushing bearing or plain bearing) is a straightforward and fundamental type of bearing. It primarily consists of an inner metal sleeve (known as the bushing) and an outer metal sleeve. Between these two sleeves lies a layer of special lubricating material, typically a sliding surface coated with grease or oil.

In this article, we will explore the significance of the ball bearing size chart and understand how to interpret and utilize it effectively.

By this type, and refers to the bearing hub. It consists of two rings - outer and inner cage and rolling elements. These "bodies" have different shapes, with rotations or grooves created between the two rings "riding the wind". Depending on the shape of the body of the rolling bearing the hub is still a ball or a roller. In the latter case, the rollers can be of different shapes: cylindrical, needle, conical or any other.

A precise mechanical component, the rolling bearing transforms sliding friction between the running shaft and the shaft seat into rolling friction, minimizing frictional losses. Rolling bearings generally consist of four parts:

Non-metallic sliding bearings, primarily composed of high-performance engineering plastics, are commonly known as plastic bearings. Leading manufacturers often employ self-lubricating modification technology for engineering plastics. This involves enhancing the plastics through the addition of fibers, special lubricants, glass beads, etc., to achieve improved self-lubrication and performance. The modified plastics are then processed into self-lubricating plastic bearings using injection molding.

Deep groove ballbearing

Angularcontact bearing

Single-Row Angular Contact Ball Bearings can accommodate radial and axial loads acting simultaneously, where the axial load acts in one direction only. They can operate at high speeds and, depending on the variant, even very high speeds. They are more suitable than deep groove ball bearings for supporting large axial forces acting in one direction.

In this article, we’ll be talking about two types of wheel bearings. The general design of the car has been used for two types - rolling and plain bearings. Many tens of thousands of them. Almost all automotive units have bearings.

Sliding friction is present during the operation of sliding bearings, and its magnitude is primarily influenced by manufacturing precision. The friction in sliding bearings is mainly determined by the material of the bearing's sliding surface. These bearings typically feature a self-lubricating function on their working surface. Based on materials, sliding bearings are categorized into non-metallic and metallic types.

The manufacturing of bearing parts involves specialized equipment, including ball mills and grinding machines for processing steel balls. This specialization extends to the production of bearing components, with dedicated companies focusing on specific aspects. For instance, steel ball manufacturers specialize in producing steel balls, while miniature bearing factories concentrate on manufacturing miniature bearings.

SKF manufactures Angular Contact Ball Bearings with 40° Contact Angle (B Series), 30° Contact Angle (A Series), and 25° Contact Angle (AC Series), in Polyamide, Steel as well as Brass cages and comes with and without contact lip seals. 7200 SKF, FAG, Schaeffler, NTN, Nachi

The shape, size, and number of rolling elements directly impact the performance and lifespan of the rolling bearing. The proper functioning of these components collectively contributes to the bearing's efficiency and longevity.

It is commonly referred to as "bearing" in English, while in Taiwan, it is usually called "軸承". The fundamental principle of a bearing involves the placement of rolling elements, such as balls, needles, or rollers, between the inner and outer rings to facilitate smooth rotation of the shaft.

Specialization in bearing production facilitates the automation of the manufacturing process. The use of numerous fully automatic and semi-automatic dedicated and non-dedicated machine tools, along with the gradual adoption of automatic production lines, exemplifies this trend. Notable examples include automatic heat treatment lines and automated assembly lines.
