Friction
The slide bearing’s friction coefficient is an interesting dimensioning parameter since it controlsthe size of losses in the bearing. The...
Lubrication
In the tribological system, the lubrication and the surrounding environment (air, gas, salt water,dust etc.) are just as important as...
Slide Bearings
A slide bearing can be described as a machine component whose purpose is to steer and sup- port a shaft...
Load
A slide bearing can support radial loads as shown in the figure below. The flange design also allows axial...
Assembly and Design of the Seat
Assembly and Design of the Seat In most cases, our rolled slide bearings are assembled bypress fitting, following the same...
Movement
A shaft’s motion can be either rotary or linear or a combination of these. The rotary motion canbe pure rotation...
Temperature
The lifetime of a bearing is to a high degree influenced by the temperature in the bearing’s housing.Two factors control...
Opposing rotary partner
Normally, for a slide bearing, the shaft acts as the opposing rotary partner. When choosing theshaft it is important to...
Bearing housing
Normally the bearing house shall have a tolerance of H7. In this case, a bearing pressed in to the house...
Operations
It is important to consider the type of operation. Intermittent operation, with long stoppage times between loadings, influences the build...
Bearing Clearence
A radial slide bearing’s clearence constitutes the difference between the bearing’s internal diameterand the shaft’s diameter. During hydrodynamic operating conditions,...
Wear and Lifetime
A sliding bearing’s lifetime is a complex story, which results from the sum of the many parameters’effect. In our section:...
