Bearings
In order to secure proper motion between two components we care about a lot of relevant characteristics.
Types
- Bearings and guides with rolling elements, slide bearings, hydrostatic or hydrodynamic bearings
Properties
- Speed, revolution, damping, precision, heat capacity, load angle, load capacity
Bearing Configurations
- Thermal neutral bearing clearance, fixed and floating bearing combination, O-configuration, X-configuration, proper guiding rate
Calculation of Bearing Life Time
- RPM factor, dynamic characteristics, load type, nominal and effective lifetime, dynamic or static stresses, minimum load
Lubrication
- Grease, oil, oil/air lubrication, life-time lubrication, lubricating intervals, height of lubricating film, oil saving lubrication
Interface Configuration
- Fitting tolerances, surface roughness, bevelling and relief grooves, shape and positional tolerances
