Having the ability to select the correct anti-friction bearing for a specific application is an essential skill for the millwright. You will find that in order to select the correct bearing for a specific application, a certain amount of background knowledge is required. You ‘must be able to visually identify a bearing and specify the type of loading for which iti suitable. When given a bearing identification number, you must also be able to specify the type of bearing, size and construction features of that bearing simply by interpreting the bearing code Outcome When you have completed this module you will be able to: Select appropriate anti-friction bearings for specified applications. eo Objectives 1. Identify the type, parts and functions of common anti-friction bearings. 2. Describe the type, size and features of anti-friction bearings from the bearing code Introduction ‘The function of any bearing is to support a moving part. Moving parts include rotating shafts and parts moving in straight lines, such as the carriage on a lathe moving along the ways. The bearing must provide this support and must also hold the part in proper alignment with other parts of the machine and do so with minimum friction. In performing these functions, the bearing is subject to any of a number of different operating forces and speeds. Anti-friction bearings of many different shapes and sizes have been designed to handle these forces and speeds. Due to the wide variety of bearing types, a code system has evolved to provide information on type, size and construction of | each bearing, This allows you to select the correct type of bearing for a particular | ‘operating condition. The standardized code that appears on any bearing provides you ‘with information on the bearing type and size as well as all the features that make it suitable for a particular operating condition. Antifriction bearings have rolling elements that are intended to replace sliding friction with rolling friction. Since rolling friction is considerably less than non-lubricated slidi friction, these bearings are called anti-friction bearings. Note, however, that plain bearings (sometimes referred to as friction bearings) also operate with a minimum of friction when a film of lubricant separates the two sliding surfaces. |
