Cylindrical Bearing an Important Part for Equipment

Often around you, you will find various operations in your car or at home, can you imagine all these functions are possible due to one small element known as bearing. Be it in gearboxes, pulp or paper machine, conveyors, or else any process equipment. A synchronization among various parts in machinery ensures long time and best performance in machine. Here we will share about a few different types of specialized bearing found in domestic appliances and also in different industries.

This Bearing Act as Fundamental Basis for Smooth Function

The spherical plain bearing allows an angular type of rotation from middle point into orthogonal direction. There are more than 1000+ models of this bearing available in the market by different manufacturers. The bearing known as Spherical plain is manufactured in different material type and its design ensure solutions among most of operating function. This bearing is suited for off highway or heavy duty vehicles, construction equipment, agricultural equipment, mining equipment also in robotics. The spherical plain bearing is available in standard bore size as per industry norms. However, there are many manufacturers, who can also supply custom sized bearings. 

Characteristics suits many requirements

In terms of special features, the spherical plain bearings is suited for 

• Radial load
• Corrosion Protection 
• ReLubrication 
• Thrust Load
• Misalignment
• Reversing the Radial Load

All these features makes this bearing suitable for arrangement of bearings where there is alignment movement among the shaft & housing. 

Cylindrical Bearing

To handle the alignment errors or defection in shaft

As we mentioned earlier, every bearing has different function to perform based on the design and purpose it is made for. We are discussing another type of bearing known as Spherical Ball bearing. This bearing has lowest level of friction and is ideal for applications involving high speed.

This type of bearing is widely used in different application, as listed below 

• Agricultural machinery
• Pumps
• Earthmoving machinery;
• In Industrial machines such as cleaning & bottling unit
• Fitness machines
• Machining equipment
• Electric Motors
• Many more

The bearing known as Spherical Ball is formed with 2 rows of ball bearing as well as one raceway that is spherical in shape fitted at outer ring. The design enables the ball bearing to self-align without any issues of misalignment. 

There is huge range of ball bearings available in the market catering to several purpose. In the current market, there are as many international and local manufactures of cylindrical bearing and other bearings offering different range, make and design. A thorough look at the catalogue before finalizing the order can remove many hurdles at later stage. It is always advisable to opt for renowned dealer or manufacturers for best quality product and after sales service.
