What are the bearing materials?

Bearing rings, rolling elements and to maintain the material back to the application.

  
1. Ring and rolling materials

  
(1) high-carbon chromium bearing steel

  
The vast majority of bearing rings and rolling elements are color gear pump bearings made of special steel. Ferrules and rolling elements are made of high-carbon chromium bearing steel (GCr15 and GCr15SiMn with ZGCr15 and ZGCr15SiMn) and the hardness of the parts is as follows:


  
Ferrules and rollers made of GCr15 and ZGCr15 materials are HRc 61-65 and steel balls HRc 62-66;

  
The rings and rollers made of steel sleeve bearings made of GCr15SiMn and ZGCr15SiMn are HRc 60-64 and the balls are HRc 60-66.

  
Bearings made of high-carbon steel chrome bearing steel are generally suitable for operating temperature range of -40 to 130 degrees, oil and lubricated bushings SF-1 grease lubrication is normal. To meet the general machinery requirements.

  
High carbon chromium bearing steel bearing parts after high temperature back to fire, its adaptation to working temperature up to 250 degrees.

  
With the progress of smelting technology, high-carbon chromium bearing steel can be used in different smelting methods, such as vacuum smelting technology can greatly reform the inherent quality of steel, especially the oxygen content in steel and the formation of non-metallic inclusions have Obvious decrease. Bearings made from this high-carbon chromium bearing steel have doubled their fatigue life.

  
According to a large number of experimental comparison data show that different smelting methods obtained GCr15, GCr15SiMn, ZGCr15, ZGCr15SiMn bearing steel bearings.

  
(2) Carburized bearing steel

  
Carburized with carbon steel and other ferrules and rolling ring, the hardness: ferrule and rolling body HRc60 ~ 64, generally suitable for the operating temperature range of -40 to 140 degrees Celsius, oil and grease lubrication is normal, can be Large shock and vibration conditions, such as locomotives and rolling mill bearings, etc., but the steel heat treatment process is more complicated.

  
(3) heat-resistant bearing steel

  
Roller with ferrule made of heat-resistant bearing steel, its hardness: ferrule and roller HRc60 ~ 64, ball HRc61 ~ 65, under normal lubrication, suitable for working temperature of 120 to 250 degrees Celsius, Such as aircraft engines, gas turbines and other spindle working conditions.

  
(4) corrosion-resistant bearing steel

  
Ferrules and rolling elements are made of corrosion-resistant bearing steel and have a hardness of not less than HRc58 for ferrules and rolling elements. It is suitable for corrosive media such as water, nitric acid and chemical reagents at a temperature of -253 to 350 ° C.

  
2 cage material

  
(1) The vast majority of bearings are made of steel cage, the most widely used is the low-carbon steel stamping waves, basket-shaped, box-shaped cage for high carbon chromium bearing steel bearing conditions and the environment; Caged stainless steel plate with a cage for corrosion-resistant bearing steel bearing conditions and the environment.

  
(2) excellent surface finish with non-ferrous metals. Work under high temperature conditions, the use of silicon bronze can be made of solid cage, the working temperature up to 315 degrees Celsius; due to the strength of aluminum than the low brass, light weight, which commonly used aluminum solid brass brackets, mainly for speed Higher, lighter, corrosion-resistant and other conditions.

  
(3) Cage made of engineering plastic has been greatly developed in recent years, mainly because of its certain corrosion resistance, good self-lubricating property, small frictional resistance, convenient material drawing, low price and easy manufacture. However, Easy to "aging." Currently used to enhance nylon 66 the most widely used, it can continue to work in the temperature range of -40 to 120 degrees Celsius.

  
PTFE high strength, good self-lubricating performance, continuous working temperature up to 300 degrees Celsius, phenolic tape has a high mechanical strength, good wear-resistant heat resistance, but expensive, suitable for high-speed spin circumference, temperature For -40 ~ 150 degrees Celsius, instantaneous up to 180 degrees Celsius.
