What are some misconceptions about bearings?
1、 Myth 1: Are bearings standard or non-standard parts?
Bearings can be either standard or non-standard, depending on the needs and requirements of the customer's application.
Standard parts refer to products designed and manufactured in accordance with international or industry standards and specifications, with unified dimensions, materials, and properties. Standard bearings are usually able to meet the needs of common applications and can be widely purchased and exchanged in the market. The dimensions, quality, and other parameters of these bearings comply with international or industry standards, making them easy to select and use.
However, certain special applications may require customized or non-standard bearings. Non standard bearings are designed and manufactured according to specific requirements and may have special dimensions, materials, or characteristics. These bearings may be used in special environments, extreme loads, high speeds, or other unconventional operating conditions. The manufacturing of non-standard bearings usually requires more engineering design and customization, so the manufacturing cost may be higher.
So, generally speaking, bearings have both standard and non-standard parts, which need to be selected according to the application needs. For common applications, standard bearings are often commonly used, while for some special applications, customized or non-standard bearings may be required to meet specific requirements.
2、 Myth 2: Can your bearing last for 10 years?
The lifespan of bearings can reach or even exceed 10 years, but this depends on multiple factors, including the following:
1. Working conditions: The lifespan of bearings is influenced by working conditions, such as load, speed, vibration, temperature, and lubrication conditions. Under appropriate conditions, selecting and using bearings reasonably can extend their lifespan.
2. Quality and Materials: High quality bearing materials have better wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and fatigue resistance, which can improve the lifespan of bearings. Therefore, choosing a reliable bearing brand and quality assurance is important.
3. Maintenance and upkeep: Proper bearing maintenance and upkeep can extend its service life. It is necessary to regularly check the lubrication condition, clean and add lubricant.
4. Application environment: The lifespan of bearings may vary in different application environments. For example, in harsh environmental conditions such as high temperatures, corrosive media, or dusty environments, bearings may experience greater losses.
It should be noted that the lifespan of bearings is predicted through statistical data and experiments, and there may also be differences in practical applications. Therefore, understanding and reasonably managing the working conditions of bearings, and carrying out necessary maintenance and replacement according to their usage, can effectively extend the service life of bearings.
