Study Notes

Bearings

  • Two basic types of bearings are used: friction and anti-friction.
  • Friction bearings have a sliding contact between a shaft and the bearing.
  • Anti-friction bearings have a rolling contact between a shaft and the bearing.
  • Bearing housings are the outer casing.
  • Common materials for housings are cast iron, cast steel, and fabricated steel.
  • Bearing dimensions, style, speed, direction of pull, and support design are considered in choosing a bearing.

Friction Bearings

  • Nominal sizes are often utilized, like "27/16" bearing.
  • The size of the bore (ID) is a critical dimension for bearing installation and alignment.
  • Bearing styles include solid and split bearings.

Solid Bearings

  • Used with low speed and load.
  • Frequently mounted in inverted positions.
  • Require the bearing to be slid onto the shaft as a unit.

Split Bearings

  • Used for medium to heavy loads.
  • Various designs include two-bolt and four-bolt options.

Angle Bearings

  • Used for drives when the direction of the load is parallel to, or at an angle to, the horizontal,
  • Or when the bearing is mounted on a vertical support.

Integrated Bearings

  • Common in industrial heavy-duty machines.
  • The base of the bearing is cast as an integral part of the machine.

Liner Materials

  • Metallic liners are typically used for medium-speed and light-to-heavy-load applications.
  • Some common metallic liners include babbitt, brass, bronze, and aluminum.
  • Non-metallic liners like nylon, polyurethane, and phenol laminates (e.g., Celoron™ and Micarta™) are sometimes used.

Liner Material Properties

  • Liner material should be softer than the shaft material.
  • Low coefficient of friction
  • Wear resistant
  • Good heat conductivity
  • Readily available

Babbitt

  • A common anti-friction lining material for bearings.
  • Melts at around 288°C (550°F)..
  • Fills cracks and irregularities.
  • Can be used in badly worn bearing housings.

Metallic Liner Materials

  • Babbitt
  • Brass
  • Bronze
  • Aluminum
  • Sintered bronze

Non-Metallic Liner Materials

  • Nylon
  • Polyurethane
  • Phenol laminates

Bearing Housings

  • The housing is sometimes called a pillow block.
  • The parts include the base, base bolt slots, the cap, and the cap bolt holes.

Installing & Removing Bearings

  • Bearings are installed square on the shaft.
  • There are push fit and interference fit methods.

Bearing Clearance

  • A small clearance is needed between the shaft and the bearing cap to prevent binding.
  • Shims can be used to adjust clearance.

Bearing Removal

  • Non-destructive methods use pullers or presses.
  • Destructive removal involves cutting away the bearing rings using an oxyacetylene torch.

Thrust Control

  • Thrust is controlled by shaft collars and thrust washers.

Kingsbury Thrust Bearings

  • Specialized bearings for high-speed applications.
  • Designs include fixed-pad and tilting-pad configurations.

Guide Bearings

  • Used as a positioning or guidance device in linear motion.
  • Often has a thin layer of bearing material.

Pivoted Shoe Bearings

  • Used for high peripheral speeds and shaft stabilization.
  • Cylindrical shapes for fitted grooves in a retaining ring.

Rolling Elements

  • Ball bearings
  • Roller bearings (cylindrical, tapered, spherical, needle)
  • Spherical roller bearings: rollers curved across their width, running in concave channels.

Shields & Seals

  • Prevent foreign materials in the housing.
  • Open bearings: foreign materials are blocked by shaft lip seals or equivalent
  • Shielded bearings: solids are blocked
  • Sealed bearings: solids and fluids are blocked.

Lubrication

  • Clean bearings before installing them.
  • Oil or grease are common lubricants.
