Bearings • Bearings permit smooth, low-friction movement between two surfaces • The movement can be either rotary (a shaft rotating within a mount) or linear (one surface moving along another). • rolling-element bearings • plain bearings 2021. 12. 18. Hajdu Flóra
Plain Bearings • works by sliding action • encompasses essentially all types other than rolling-element bearings • often referred to as sleeve bearings or thrust bearings, terms that designate whether the bearing is loaded axially or radially • Lubrication is critical to the operation of plain bearings, so their application and function are also often referred to according to the type of lubrication principle used (hydrodynamic, fluid-film, hydrostatic, boundary lubricated, and selflubricated) • the largest number of bearings are oil-lubricated • Hydrostatic: oil film is maintained through pumping by a pressurization system • Hydrodynamic: oil film is maintained by a squeezing or wedging of lubricant produced by the rolling action of the bearing itself 2021. 12. 18.

Ball Bearings • Radial • thrust, • angular-contact: used for combined radial and thrust loads and where precise shaft location is needed. Source: C. Jensen, J. D. Helsel, D. R. Short: Engineering Drawing&Design 2021. 12. 18. Hajdu Flóra
Radial Bearings • Deep-groove bearings • the most widely used ball bearings. • In addition to radial loads, they can carry substantial thrust loads at high speeds, in either direction. • require careful alignment between shaft and housing. • Self-aligning bearings • 2 types: internal and external. • In internal bearings, the outer-ring ball groove is ground as a spherical surface. • Externally self-aligning bearings have a spherical surface on the outside of the outer ring that matches a concave spherical housing.

Roller Bearings • Types: cylindrical, needle, tapered, and spherical. • Higher load capacities than ball bearings of the same size • are widely used in heavy-duty, moderate-speed applications • except for cylindrical bearings, they have lower speed capabilities than ball bearings Source: C. Jensen, J. D. Helsel, D. R. Short: Engineering Drawing&Design 2021. 12. 18. Hajdu Flóra
Roller Bearings • Cylindrical roller bearings • high radial capacity and provide accurate guidance to the rollers. • low friction - operation at high speed • thrust loads of some magnitude can be carried through the flange-roller end contacts. • Unlike ball bearings, cylindrical roller bearings are generally lubricated with oil - coolant.

Thrust bearings 2021. 12. 18. Axial load Hajdu Flóra
Bearing selection 1. Ball bearings are normally the less expensive choice in the smaller sizes and lighter loads, whereas roller bearings are less expensive for the larger sizes and heavier loads. 2. Roller bearings are more satisfactory under shock or impact loading than ball bearings. 3. If there is misalignment between housing and shaft, either a self-aligning ball or a spherical roller bearing should be used. 4. Ball thrust bearings should be subjected only to pure thrust loads. At high speeds, a deep-groove or angular contact ball bearing will usually be a better choice even for pure thrust loads. 5. Self-aligning ball bearings and cylindrical roller bearings have very low friction coefficients. 6. Deep-groove ball bearings are available with seals built into the bearings so that the bearing can be prelubricated and thus operate for long periods without attention 2021. 12. 18. Hajdu Flóra
Shaft and Housing Fits • The fit between the inner ring and the shaft and the fit between the outer ring and the housing must be suitable for the application • fits can be obtained by selecting the proper tolerances for the shaft diameter and the housing bore. • Bearings may be mounted directly on the shaft or on tapered adapter sleeves. • When the bearing is mounted directly on the shaft, the inner ring should be located against a shaft shoulder of proper height. This shoulder must be machined square with the bearing seat, and a shaft fillet should be used. The radius of the fillet must clear the corner radius of the inner ring. This also applies when the outer ring is mounted in the housing. Source: C. Jensen, J. D. Helsel, D. R. Short: Engineering Drawing&Design 2021. 12. 18. Hajdu Flóra
Shaft and Housing Fits 2021. 12. 18. Hajdu Flóra
Shaft and Housing Fits • To hold the bearing inner ring axially on the shaft, a locknut and lockwasher are commonly used • effective and convenient method • A tab in the bore of the lockwasher engages a slot in the shaft, and one of the many tabs on the periphery of the washer is bent over into one of the slots in the nut Source: C. Jensen, J. D. Helsel, D. R. Short: Engineering Drawing&Design 2021. 12. 18. Hajdu Flóra
Shaft and Housing Fits • Instead of a nut, a retaining ring fitted into a groove in the shaft can be used for simple bearing arrangements 2021. 12. 18. Hajdu Flóra
Shaft and Housing Fits • If another machine component (gear or pulley) is fitted alongside the bearing, the inner ring is often secured by means of a spacing sleeve. • A sleeve is also frequently used for spacing the inner rings when the bearings are located reasonably close together.

Shaft and Housing Fits • On long standard shafting it is impractical to apply bearings, with an interference fit, directly on the shaft. • they are applied with tapered adapter sleeves. • The outer surface of the sleeve is tapered to match the tapered bore of the bearing inner ring. This will provide the required tight fit between the inner ring and the shaft. • The adapter sleeve is slotted to permit easy contraction and is threaded at the small end to fit a locknut. • When the sleeve is drawn up tight between the bearing and the shaft, a press fit is provided at both the shaft and the inner ring. 2021. 12. 18.

Shaft and Housing Fits • One of the most critical factors affecting bearing operation: the mounting fit of the bearing on the shaft and in the housing. • If there is any clearance or looseness between the shaft and the bore of the inner ring, the shaft, as it rotates, will roll along the bore of the inner ring → The rolling shaft in the bearing bore will cause the shaft to wear rapidly and become progressively looser. • Prevent this: press-fit the inner ring on the shaft. • Similar reasoning applies to a bearing subject to a load that rotates in space with the inner ring. If the outer ring has a clearance in the housing bore, it will roll around the housing bore and wear loose. • Prevent this: he outer ring press-fit in the housing. • In all cases, it is necessary to press-fit the bearing that has relative rotation with respect to the direction of the radial load. 2021. 12. 18.

Seals for Grease Lubrication • For ball or roller bearings to operate properly – be protected against loss of lubricant and entrance of dirt and dust on the bearing surfaces. • Simplest and least space-requiring form - use of a thin steel shield on one or both sides of the bearing, fastened in a groove in the outer ring and reaching almost to the inner rings • All other types of bearings require a seal between the bearing housing and the shaft 2021. 12. 18.

Seals for Oil Lubrication • With oil lubrication, seals have the double function • protecting the bearing against contamination • retaining the lubricant in the housing. • Protection is obtained by means of friction seals or flingers • The essential feature for retaining the oil is a groove in the rotating shaft, or a rotating ring or collar from whose edges the oil is thrown by centrifugal force - should be used only in dry and dust-free places where there is little danger of contamination • labyrinth seals retain the oil and protect against contamination. 2021. 12. 18.
