Bearings 2 Flashcards
3 main causes of bearing failure are
Lubrication issues, particulate contamination, misalignment
_______ _______ bearings consist of one or two rows of cylindrical rows of steel balls or rollers.
Rolling element
How much do ball bearings cost compared to other roller type bearings?
Typically less
Carries high radial loads and moderate thrust loads in either direction.
Conrad bearings
Carries more balls therefore has more radial load capacity than Conrad bearings
Filling slot
Filling slots must be facing the side ______ originates from?
Thrust
Double rows give us what advantages?
Higher load and thrust rating
These types of bearings can accommodate shaft misalignment
Self-aligning radial ball bearings
Angular contact bearings can be mounted in what 3 ways?
Tandem
Back to back
Face to face
These bearings are intended to handle thrust loads running parallel to the axis of rotation
Angular
The most common thrust bearing
Grooved race flat seat
_________ ball bearings have much looser tolerances than precision bearings
Unground
Very low load capacity bearings used when space, weight and maintenance of a lower gravitational center is important
Thin section bearings
Ball bearings use what type of contact?
“Point contact”
Flat race flat seat has 1/3 of the capacity of?
Grooved race flat seat
