How to choose rolling bearings and sliding bearings
Author:admin Date:2022-04-29
Comparison of structure and movement mode
The most obvious difference between rolling bearings and plain bearings is the presence or absence of rolling elements. Rolling bearings have rolling elements (balls, cylindrical rollers, tapered rollers, needle rollers), which rotate to support the rotating shaft, so the contact part is a point, and the more rolling elements, the more contact points.
Sliding bearings have no rolling elements and rely on a smooth surface to support the rotating shaft, so the contact part is a surface. The difference between the two structures determines that the movement mode of the rolling bearing is rolling, and the movement mode of the sliding bearing is sliding, so the friction situation is completely different.
2. Comparison of carrying capacity
Generally speaking, due to the large pressure bearing area of sliding bearings, the bearing capacity of sliding bearings is generally higher than that of rolling bearings, and the ability of rolling bearings to withstand impact loads is not high, but fully liquid lubricated bearings can withstand more large shock loads. When the rotation speed is high, the centrifugal force of the rolling elements in the rolling bearing increases, and its carrying capacity is reduced (noise is prone to occur at high speed). For hydrodynamic sliding bearings, the load-carrying capacity increases as the rotational speed increases.
3. Comparison of friction coefficient and starting frictional resistance
Under normal working conditions, the friction coefficient of rolling bearings is lower than that of sliding bearings, and the value is relatively stable. However, the lubrication of sliding bearings is easily affected by external factors such as rotational speed and vibration, and the friction coefficient varies widely. When starting, since the sliding bearing has not yet formed a stable oil film, the resistance is greater than that of the rolling bearing, but the starting frictional resistance and the working friction coefficient of the hydrostatic sliding bearing are very small.
4. Applicable working speed comparison
Due to the limitation of the centrifugal force of the rolling element and the temperature rise of the bearing, the rolling bearing cannot rotate too high, and is generally suitable for medium and low speed working conditions. Due to the heating and wear of the bearing, the working speed of the incomplete liquid lubricated bearing should not be too high. The high-speed performance of the completely liquid-lubricated bearing is very good, especially when the hydrostatic sliding bearing uses air as the lubricant, its speed can reach 100000r/min.
5. Comparison of power loss
Due to the small friction coefficient of rolling bearings, the power loss is generally not large, which is smaller than that of incomplete liquid lubricated bearings, but it will increase sharply when lubrication and installation are improper. The frictional power loss of completely liquid lubricated bearings is lower, but for hydrostatic sliding bearings, the total power loss may be higher than that of hydrodynamic sliding bearings due to the power loss of the oil pump.
6. Comparison of service life
Due to the influence of material pitting and fatigue, rolling bearings are generally designed for 5 to 10 years, or replaced during overhaul. The bearing pads of incomplete liquid lubricated bearings are severely worn and need to be replaced regularly. The life of a fully liquid-lubricated bearing is theoretically infinite, but in practice, due to stress cycles, especially for hydrodynamic sliding bearings, the bearing pad material may suffer fatigue damage.
7. Comparison of rotation accuracy
Due to the small radial clearance of rolling bearings, the rotation accuracy is generally high. Incomplete liquid lubricated bearings are in the state of boundary lubrication or mixed lubrication, and the operation is unstable, the wear is serious, and the precision is low. Completely liquid lubricated bearings have high precision due to the presence of oil film, buffering and vibration absorption. The hydrostatic sliding bearing has higher rotation accuracy.
8. Rolling bearings use oil, grease or solid lubricant. The dosage is very small. The dosage is large at high speed. The cleanliness of the oil is required to be high, so it is required to be sealed, but the bearing is easy to replace and generally does not need to repair the journal. For sliding bearings, except for incompletely lubricated bearings, the lubricant is generally liquid or gas, and the amount is large, and the cleanliness of the oil is also very high. The bearing bush needs to be replaced frequently, and sometimes the journal is repaired.
Specializing in manufacturing sliding bearing series products, the physical production enterprises have reached 150 million sets of production capacity, with one automatic sintering line. Enterprise technology relying on Research Institute and colleges and universities and colleges and universities and colleges and universities, constantly develop self-lubricating bearing products adapted to different working conditions and various mechanical fields. The product performance has reached the level of foreign products of the same kind. The sales of products all over more than 40 countries and regions at home and abroad, and have been recognized by domestic and foreign users. In 2006, the company passed the ISO9001 quality system certification! And there is TUV system certification!
The main products are (Du) oil-free bearings, (Dx) boundary lubrication bearings, flange bush, bronze rolling bearings, self-lubricating bearings. The characteristic product is Du thin wall series!
